Participants tackled the learning questions in the on-going Community Engagement Survey during the 1-hour hybrid community engagement meeting held this Sunday afternoon, January 19th.
The discussion aimed to gather valuable insights from the attendees for the planning of activities of PhilWiki Community for 2025-2026 and come up with new strategies.
The first learning question deals with Promotion of Open Knowledge: How do outreach activities, advocacy programs and online campaigns help raise the awareness of Wikimedia projects in the Philippines as a platform that serves open knowledge?
The second learning question is centered on Participation, Diversity and Inclusion: What strategies can help improve participation and engagement from various sectors of our Filipino society in the Wikimedia movement?
Partnership and Collaboration is the focus of the third learning question: What opportunities can be created out of partnership and collaboration with civic and professional organizations, and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) and educational institutions?
Finally, the participants discussed the Pursuit of Purpose of the organization in the fourth learning question: How can we empower the Filipino volunteers and content contributors, and enhance the organizational capacity of PhilWiki Community in advancing Wikimedia Movement’s strategic direction – Knowledge as a Service (become a platform that serves knowledge in many formats and builds tools for allies) and Knowledge Equity (focus on the knowledge and communities that structures of power and privilege have left out)?
The meeting concluded with a celebration of Wikipedia‘s 24th birthday.
Join our community discussion! Feel free to provide your insights in any Philippine language or in English. The first round of the Community Engagement will run until the 31st of January.
