Movement Strategy and Governance Track
Calling all Movement Strategy enthusiasts and activists. You are warmly invited to join the pre-conference and main conference discussions, August 15, 16 and 17. Connect with fellow Strategy collaborators, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee, hub pilots and crew, and much more. See below.
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.
The Movement Strategy is a collaborative effort to imagine and build the future of the Wikimedia Movement. This strategy brings structural and cultural changes to address challenges and new opportunities. Thousands of volunteers and more than a hundred groups have defined this strategy. Currently, Movement Strategy is being implemented with goals set for 2030. Anyone can contribute to the Movement Strategy, from a comment to a full-time project.

- The aim of the session is to have a cross-cutting overview of projects happening in the area of hub piloting. While there will be separate sessions around particular hubs and deeper dives into particular aspects of hub collaboration, this session will help to get a good overview of different pilots in different contexts. The focus is on explaining the value that particular projects have in their context for their communities and then surfacing key lessons learned.
