Central Asian WikiCon 2025/Pre-conference session
Growing the Central Asia Wikimedia Community
[edit]** Please find the recording and notes below under: Resources **
The Central Asia Wikimedia community is diverse, passionate, and full of potential. With growing interest in Wikimedia projects across the region and the upcoming Central Asian WikiCon 2025 in Tashkent, we have an incredible opportunity to expand our impact. But to do so, we need to address the following main areas:
- Clear identification of the key challenges faced by the Wikimedia communities in Central Asia.
- Defined support systems, training, and resources needed for sustainable growth.
- A collective vision for Wikimedia in the region over the next 5-10 years.
- Actionable next steps for contributors to take forward.
In this interactive session, we will work together to map out key challenges, brainstorm creative solutions, and develop a collective vision for the future. Through discussions and hands-on activities, we will identify what’s needed to strengthen Wikimedia in Central Asia and create actionable next steps to make it happen.
