Abstract: Community projects is an inter-programmatic proposal developed by the three programs of Wikimedia Argentina. This experience seeks to strengthen our communities through a microfinancing program that allows them to design, plan and implement actions in their territories that have a direct impact on Wikimedia projects. The topics addressed by these projects are varied, and depend on the prior existing interest in the community.
In this session, we will focus the presentation on three of the experiences that we accompanied in 2024, which involved both institutions and educational public: a project carried out by a Teacher Training Institute in Entre Ríos, where they worked to develop the school archive; a project carried out by a Human Rights Organization in the City of Buenos Aires, which aimed at teachers and students to reflect on recent memory from historical archives; and a project developed by young students of exact and natural sciences in Río Negro, who held an exhibition for other young people and workshops in high schools. We are interested in sharing the monitoring process and the results of each project, in order to think about other strategies linked to the work in educational contexts with Wikimedia projects. In particular, we want to focus, from these experiences, on the possibility of generating programmatic proposals that accompany and strengthen the new communities that are approaching the Wikimedia movement.
