 up. Good morning everyone. My name is Yop Roang-Pam. I'm a senior movement strategy specialist with the Wikimedia Foundation. I work on the community resources team, pardon my voice, probably all the chatting with the babies on the plane and landing at 2 a.m. And part of my work is supporting all of you in the work that you do to advance movement strategy. That means ensuring that you have access to the resources, the tools, the technology that you need to implement the movement strategy initiatives and recommendations. So what are these strategy initiatives and recommendations and why do they matter? That's what you'll be hearing about today. I'm just starting us off. I'd like to start us off with by helping paint a picture. This is my picture of what the movement strategy is in the middle of all the conversations happening. So if you think of the movement strategy as our opportunity to develop a vast piece of land where some years ago we came together as a movement and said, we're going to develop this land and we know we have a community and we are going to build the space where our community will live together cordially, collaboratively, and where we look at each other through the lens of equity. And so we all came together and we decided collectively that this vast community will have different areas in the way that you would develop an estate. So in this community we have our secretariat. Think of that as the governance piece. You'll hear a lot about the movement charter and the global council in the course of our time together. Think of the education part of our community, the school district as skills and leadership development. Think of the playground where we innovate in free knowledge. So we have these different areas and phases in our vast piece of land that we're working together to develop. Now as we're building this community we're like it is with any development piece. We're learning along the way, but we're advancing step by step by step. It takes collective effort and it is a community where there are many architects, there are builders, there are engineers, there are bankers, there are people with so many different skills and we've decided to pull together these skills to grow and build this community. I like to call the movement strategy as it is today our social contract with each other that says that by doing these things we will work together collectively towards a shared and a common vision. We might do it in our own ways in small spaces, but at the end of the day the small work that we do, the small work that you do in a small language community somewhere in Serbia or the work that you do somewhere in the Balkans or the work that is done somewhere in a small language community in Lagos it matters and it contributes. Sometimes it's just about finding the connections between your project and the global vision to say okay am I in this community, am I contributing to this community, am I part of the building, am I laying building blocks that will enable us to build this community together. And those are the answers that will come to you in the presentations coming right up after this. They're more concrete not hypothetical like I've just done. Thank you and welcome to everyone. Thank you great builders. Thank you great collaborators. Thank you and welcome. I'll invite Mahutan to get us started. Thank you Yop. Good evening everyone. So I'm Mahutan Posupay. I'm working in the movement communication team and supporting things related to movement strategy. So how you upset movement strategy? It had been started long before and in this room I can see that there are really well-known people who know how movement strategy work and also newbie. So we are here to create connections. This session is to put together those who really know what is it, where it starts, where are we going and match with those who just joined to create that collaborations and see how we can continue implementing the movement strategy. Is it good? Oh sorry. Okay so what is the movement strategy specifically for new commerce? It is a plan for structural change. So it's clearly a plan to change things and what I've been said is from 2016 or 2017 to 2030 what change are we going to implement in the movement? What are we going to work on? And the second thing is when we talk about new mass strategy is clearly a collaborative process. Those who started it created small groups. There's a change that took a lot in different communities and come together with many recommendations on how we should work together to get there by 2030. So it is clearly a collaborative process and that is why we are also here today to continue working collaboratively. Why a movement strategy? So as I said before there are different stakeholders and many stakeholders in the movement. We have affiliate, we have the Wikimedia foundations, we have also different communities but we all work together having the common goals. But the thing is we don't have a dedicated strategy. We don't have a strategy to follow but we want to do the same thing. We want all to advance the movement but if we don't get coordinated we cannot get it. That is why the movement strategy started. And the thing is we need to define when stakeholders work together to get the common goals we need to define what strategy first to limit equity in decision making and resource allocation. So that is what we see before. And now we also see a lack of collaborations and power sharing between the foundations, the affiliates and also the communities. Those are the stakeholders we have and the goal is okay we work together but how we are going to work together. And now why does it matter to you? The experience contributors, editors, no already because I spent a lot of time to work on this but for newbie why is this important also for you to get in. First it is clearly a two way change. It is a learning path to share experiences between Wikimanias everywhere, everywhere in every continent, every communities, every regions with our differences in culture that is why we need to work together. And also the movement strategy encouraged us to be collaboration. The way we work to achieve our different goals putting them together to achieve the common objective of the movement. So yeah that is mostly a quick background about the movement strategy. There are a lot of things to be said but I will pass to my colleague Vivian later to say more about it. Junko, sorry. Thank you so much. Good morning everybody. My name is Junko, also a facilitator in the movement communications team. And I think some of you are mentioning about wearing a newbie t-shirt and actually I'm one myself so I wish I had one. So I just want to share about the strategic direction but as a newbie I just want to for those of you who have been creating the movement it's just a reminder for everyone and I think if maybe if you can I'll close your eyes for a moment no peeking. So our strategic direction is by 2030 Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge and anyone who shares our vision will be able to join us. So just wanted to let that sink in in a different way. I was a new person to the movement. I was very fascinated by this direction. I think for those of you who have been around for a long time I think it's just natural it's something that's always been with you or yeah it's very normal but for someone who's new I think it's a very big deal and I just wanted to remind everyone that what you are creating and we're collaborating towards it's a it's a very big deal. Okay and the strategic direction has two goals so it's twin so they must come together and the first one is knowledge as a service to serve as our users we will become a platform that serves open knowledge to the world across interfaces and communities. One and the second is equity knowledge equity as a social movement we will focus our efforts on the knowledge and communities that have been left out by structures of power and privilege. Again I think it's it's quite extraordinary and it's a big thing. I think it's a very difficult thing but I think it's it's definitely something that we all want to work towards and I just want to appreciate and of everyone who's in the room and everybody else in the movement for yeah starting and working towards this big movement and now I pass over to Vivian. Thank you Junco. Hi everyone I'm Vivian also from the movement communications team. Okay so I think like many of you are actually long in the movement but I think we can take a chance to look back in the history of up in terms of timeline. So following a broad consultation in 2017 the first phase of the movement strategy process produced the strategic direction which Junco just took us to have a look at again this is to guide the future of of the movement and in the second phase the recommendations were produced. Close to 100 Wikimedians came together work into different nine working groups to draft these recommendations for change and after multiple iterations and consultations that come to the 10 recommendations and principles which was published in mid 2020. So in late 2020 Wikimedia communities affiliates and also the support team organized around 50 events to prioritize the recommendations and also that includes different global conversations which I think somebody had a chance to be in back back then and there was eight major initiatives and cluster were chosen to be the priorities for the implementation to work on. So that includes the movement charter the hubs and also the funding for underrepresented communities which I think later in the day in different sessions like everyone would have a chance to have further discussion on and that leads to where we are today from 2021 the implementation of the 10 recommendations and initiatives has started. Okay so how is that relevant to everyone and again this is to just to share with also people who are new to the movement that I think all Wikimedians as their day-to-day activities everyone is already working to or something actually relevant to movement strategy people may not necessarily call it all saying oh I'm working for these specific recommendations but all different projects actually contribute to movement strategy as a whole so you you can see what you're working on that's something that's already connected to the strategy and also the strategy provides an opportunity to turn your ideas into actual projects and later on in the resourcing movement strategy session where Yop and also our grantees will also take us on their journey to learn about how they have turned their ideas into actual implementation and of course the strategy also provides us a great opportunity to connect with each other with different Wikimedians around the globe to do implementation so that's how this is relevant to all of us and I would like to invite everyone to do a breakout discussion for now we're gonna I'm trying to check how many of us are here I think it's safe to say we can break into three groups maybe okay and so the idea is to invite everyone to discuss these questions into your group so what projects are you and your committee have been working on or thinking about to work on in the future or have you already worked on and also which movement strategy recommendations do your projects contribute to so that's the idea that we're saying right everything all connects back to the movement strategy and also what do you see as the achievement of your projects I think this is also an opportunity to share with other fellow Wikimedians so we will take I think 15 minutes ish and we will do it in group discussion so there's group one two three how should we do it so I think from here probably people before Afi is one group group one is that okay so here can Afi raise his hand okay so here this corner please use the QR code for group one if you want to take some notes and also just freely share them your thoughts on participating the discussion and I think the group in the back two maybe and on this side side of Belinda just use a reference so yeah can we do that for 15 minutes and so we're also leaving the recommendations on the screen so help you identify where your projects connects to
