Description: Join us at the upcoming GLAM Wikimedia Conference for an exciting and interactive Connectathon focused on improving connections, and mutual relations, but also on the development of ideas related to the improvement of the GLAM program, as well as the Wikimedia movement. This event is designed to bring together all the conference participants passionate about sharing knowledge and preserving cultural heritage. The Connectathon is an open, fun, and safe space for participants of the Conference to share their common interests and skills while embodying the "Let’s Connect" spirit of peer connection, inclusion, and collaboration. This event aims to connect conference participants in an informal yet enriching way, fostering deep discussions on topics important to the conference and to the Wikimedia movement. At the heart of the Connectathon is the desire to create an environment where diverse voices and perspectives come together. Participants will leave with enriched skills, new connections, and a deeper understanding of collaboration in the Wikimedia and GLAM communities. They'll carry forward the Let's Connect spirit, empowered to contribute meaningfully to open knowledge and cultural heritage preservation.		Experience level: Begginer

Description: The Capacity Exchange is an initiative developing a platform for peer-to-peer connection and capacity building within the Wikimedia Movement. The session aims to discuss peer learning and sharing as a strategy for community-based capacity building around GLAM initiatives. Such a perspective focuses on the decentralized exchange of knowledge-skills-services, rather than centralized training and knowledge transference, as a methodology for the Global Approach for Local Skill Development. Participants attending the session will be able to input needs and perspectives regarding community capacity building. The main take-away is the exchange of experience regarding sociotechnical issues and solutions for GLAM-focused peer learning and sharing.		Experience level: Intermediate

Description: Librarians, archivists, museum professionals, and knowledge workers are having to rapidly adapt to new forms of inquiry brought on by Artificial Intelligence (AI). From the fears of biased AI hallucinations to the fascination of AI enhancement, knowledge workers are in critical need of the skills and knowledge to navigate the AI turn aptly. However, as AI advances rapidly, GLAM workers often feel overwhelmed with the bulks of information that requires to be processed. Informed by the learning spaces of digital humanities institutions, that bridge the gaps between manual and computer-assisted methods, this workshop will map the questions, tools, readings, and learning spaces techniques that could be operationalized by GLAM workers to create reference learning spaces for the discussion (and learning) of AI’s potentials and dangers towards culture and heritage. This workshop will be guided by practitioners with experience designing digital humanities learning spaces as well as library-led, and museum-centered seminars and discussion groups. We will bring this expertise together so that participants return to their institutions with the building blocks to create relevant syllabi, and design discussion groups, as well as AI experimentation workshops that address common questions around AI in GLAMs.		Experience level:

Description: Slides Releasing media content from GLAM on Commons has been really successful and important over many years. However, it's important it doesn't exist there in a vacuum, but instead gets integrated into the rest of the Wikimedia projects so that it is visible and used widely. We highlight the use of Wikidata as an excellent strategy to do this. In particular, the way that content is then automatically reused and visible across many projects, e.g., various language Wikipedia infoboxes and lists (using Listeria), as well as Commons category infoboxes. The same applies also to metadata added directly to Wikidata, which can be used e.g., in references (using Cite Q), dramatically increasing its visibility. We will cover other tools that can be used to manipulate and display media using Wikidata and its query service - both describing them and providing a how-to guide for how to implement them for your projects. We also mention how developers can also integrate with Wikidata within their applications and websites. We invite questions and conversations to identify future opportunities for Wikidata integration. Participants will gain an understanding of Wikidata and its uses for distributing, querying and visualising GLAM-WIKI content		Experience level: Beginner

Description: To a large degree, the Wikimedia movement shares mission with the United Nations and other intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). Like us, they collate information and knowledge and strive to make it freely available to a larger audience. Many, such as UNESCO and ILO, even host large internal archives. The Wikimedia movement has had a number of successful partnerships with IGOs over the years, but the work has most often been ad hoc and limited in scope. The partnerships have not created as many opportunities for underserved and underrepresented communities as would be ideal. Partnering with IGOs has huge potential. The partnerships could provide large amounts of unique and valuable material from around the world, open up new networks, access to venues and conferences for local communities. They could also create new funding opportunities for local volunteers and Wikimedia organizations as many of them are interested in hiring Wikimedians in Residence (WiR). The Content Partnerships Hub is an initiative to create a Thematic Hub, led by Wikimedia Sverige. Five different areas of work form the pillars of the Hub, and partnerships with IGOs is one of them. Over the years we have developed a large and valuable network within the IGO sector, including organizations such as UNESCO, WIPO, FAO, IEA, UNEP, EIB and more. In 2022–2023 we started formalizing these partnerships with the goal to lower the threshold for other Wikimedia affiliates to work and engage with the IGOs. One key area we are exploring is the potential for paid WiR positions at the different IGOs and how to ensure that this is an opportunity that is open and possible for Wikimedians from around the world. For this capacity building is needed to create opportunities for more people from the Movement to become WiRs. During the session we will discuss the work done with IGOs, the most relevant material and opportunities for Wikimedians to focus on and how to engage in the partnerships in different ways. The participants will gain understanding of the possibilities with IGO partnerships. Through the session they will be empowered to engage in the conversations and to support the development of the WiR training material and future network.		Experience level: Intermediate

Description: Can you believe there isn't an article on Wikipedia about Open Access in the Culture Heritage and Creative sectors? In this workshop we invite our friends in the Wiki-movement to join forces with all the Open Culture professionals to draft a Wikipedia article together about Open Culture. An outline on the history and key milestones will be provided for context. We have prepared an outline on etherpad to gather resources in advance and begin to structure a good way to use our time together. https://ethercalc.net/gbg5pdeai1vs The session will be combine both resource finding and drafting content. If you're more interested in drafting text please check the resources collected in advance and add yours! Our goal is to publish something in a few languages, even if it's just a paragraph, while at the conference.		Experience level: Beginner

Description: Socioeconomic inequality is still an obstacle for cultural institutions located far from the main economic centers in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil to access resources to digitize, curate and digitally disseminate their collections. While some institutions in Brazil have a high degree of digital capacity, others don't even have access to the internet. Due to this disparity, the representation of Brazilian cultural heritage on Wikimedia is concentrated mainly in the richest regions that are well equipped in terms of technology and specialized personnel. It is no coincidence that 90% of the GLAM-Wiki partnerships established by Wiki Movimento Brasil (WMB) are located in the Southeast region of the country. Within this context, the WMB has promoted initiatives to democratize digitization and the digital dissemination of digitized collections, such as campaigns and partnerships in under-represented regions and the Portable Museum, which reduces digitization costs. One initiative that aligns these actions with the implementation of the Movement's Strategy is the calibra program, which aims to train volunteers to plan and implement educational and GLAM-Wiki initiatives in Brazil. To support participants in this effort, calibra has developed a tool designed to assess the legal and technological compatibility of Brazilian cultural institutions with Wikimedia. This tool will be used to establish expectations and strategies for using Wikimedia as a means of disseminating the institutions' collections, regardless of the resources available. In this section, we will present a case study that looks at the development of the tool, which relied on the collaboration of professionals and volunteer Wikimedians experienced in GLAM-Wiki initiatives in Brazil. Participants will learn how the complexity of the situation of Brazilian memory institutions led us to develop a tool that allows volunteers to help them set up a plan for their effective presence on Wikimedia platforms. We will address issues such as: the need to serve large and small institutions; setting expectations based on the institution’s reality; identifying potentials and challenges for establishing a partnership; collaboration between professionals and volunteers; and the importance of putting together a action plan to build the institution’s loyalty in the Wikimedia Movement.

Description: We propose a session focusing on developing the next steps of the Helpdesk of the Content Partnerships Hub – with a focus on how it can improve capacity building in the GLAMwiki space. It could potentially be organized as a Learning clinic. The Helpdesk is a new type of support structure for the Wikimedia movement where Wikimedians can request support for projects where the goal is to work with partners to make content available on the Wikimedia platforms, so called content partnerships. The Helpdesk is one of the five pillars of the Content Partnerships Hub, an initiative to create a Thematic Hub, led by Wikimedia Sverige. The support requests are reviewed by an international expert committee, who provides guidance on what requests to prioritize. A focus is to provide support to local communities in the underserved and underrepresented parts of the movement. Currently support has been given by Wikimedia Sverige’s staff, but the intention is that the support through the Helpdesk will come from experts from around the Wikimedia movement. Staff and volunteers around the world will be able to join different working groups that will provide the requested hand-on help or knowledge transfer. The requests to the Helpdesk can help guide capacity building efforts and increase the long-term capacity of Wikimedians to work with content partnerships. At the session we will discuss how affiliates and volunteers can engage with the Helpdesk, what the needs are, how it can support capacity building efforts and what we will develop next together. Regarding what support you can request we will cover the following: how you can request support and what support can be given, what happens with your request when submitted and what you can expect. Regarding how you can get involved we will cover the following: What the working groups are, what the benefits and opportunities are for you when joining the working group, how you can apply to them and what the expectations are. The participants will have a clear understanding of the Helpdesk and its role and functions. They will be able to decide on their future participation and will feel empowered that they have been able to develop this concept further. They will also know how they can request help and support for their content partnerships efforts.		Experience level: Intermediate

Description: This workshop about CC Licenses and public domain tools for Open Culture/ GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums). As more GLAMs adapt to increasingly online audiences and users, they often seek Creative Commons legal tools, expertise and community support. In this workshop, we will (1) share an overview, as well as key takeaways and considerations from the CC Certificate for Open Culture, a professional development training that builds expertise in open licensing and open practices for cultural heritage professionals. (2) Put the teaching into practice, as we lead participants through a fun exercise, called “human sculptures.” Through creating an exhibit of human sculptures, then digitizing them, this activity is meant to inspire discussions around the challenges and copyright and ethical considerations of digitized collections. Participants will come away from this workshop with a better understanding of the public domain, open licensing and copyright considerations with digitization projects.		Experience level: Beginner
