AvoinGLAM é um grupo de trabalho Open Knowledge Finland que promove o acesso aberto ao património cultural. O nosso objetivo é tornar as atividades GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) mais inclusivas, diversificadas e equitativas, expandindo o âmbito de modalidades, tópicos e praticantes do património cultural, e abordando questões de partilha ética. Assim queremos interpretar o GLAM como linguagens, arte e, memória global.
Promovemos colaborações criativas e aprendizagem entre pares entre todos os profissionais de GLAM. Funcionamos na intersecção da Wikimedia, Creative Commons e, Open Knowledge, defendendo a colaboração através das fronteiras organizacionais e de domínio.
AvoinGLAM foi criada em 2012 e é apoiada por um Fundo Comunitário da Fundação Wikimedia desde 2022.
