8. What are your programs, approaches, and strategies? What are the challenges that you are trying to address and how will your strategies support you in addressing these challenges? (required)

La presente propuesta se estructura en cinco áreas estratégicas, diseñadas para articular las acciones de Wikimedistas Wayuu con la participación activa de la comunidad. Estas áreas son el resultado de un proceso riguroso de consulta y sistematización realizado en dos fases: una jornada de planeación interna con el equipo de trabajo (7 de febrero) y un encuentro masivo con la comunidad de editores (27 de febrero). Este enfoque colectivo garantiza que el plan responda directamente a los comentarios, anhelos y necesidades reales de los activistas en el territorio.

Las áreas de trabajo son:

  • Consolidación de Wikipütchimaajatü (Wikcionario) y robustecimiento de artículos en Wikipeetia.
  • Formación avanzada en edición y herramientas Wikimedia.
  • Fortalecimiento del grupo de usuarios y redes de apoyo.
  • Uso educativo de Wikipeetia y proyectos hermanos en escuelas y universidades.
  • Posicionamiento del colectivo.

Desafíos persistentes Estos ejes estratégicos nos permiten delimitar acciones concretas para enfrentar los desafíos estructurales identificados desde la concepción del plan. El objetivo es incrementar la capacidad de liderazgo local mediante un trabajo colaborativo y situado.

Para superar obstáculos como la brecha digital, la falta de conectividad, la carencia de equipos y el asincronismo técnico, la propuesta contempla las siguientes acciones de mitigación:

  • Uso de Kiwix y configuración de redes locales para zonas desconectadas.
  • Talleres de alfabetización digital y acompañamiento técnico directo en el territorio.
  • Uso eficiente de las herramientas tecnológicas disponibles localmente.
  • Actividades de intercambio y reconocimiento para mantener el entusiasmo y compromiso de los editores.

Wikimedistas Wayuu se ha fortalecido gracias al apoyo incondicional de organizaciones y grupos aliados que respaldaron nuestros primeros encuentros y actuaron como mentores del proceso, tales como la Fundación KARISMA, ISUR, Wikimedia Colombia, así como los capítulos de Wikimedia Venezuela y Wikimedia Argentina.

Posteriormente, tras consolidar el agrupamiento y construir nuestra propia identidad, se sumaron nuevos entes con los cuales mantenemos relaciones estrechas. Actualmente, contamos con la cercanía y apoyo de Wikimedia Colombia, quien actúa como nuestro sponsor fiscal. Asimismo, colaboramos con organizaciones externas como Rising Voices, Global Voices, la Agencia Cultural del Banco de la República y el Museo Wayuuwaa A'in.

Para esta propuesta en particular, nuestro grupo trabajará conjuntamente con el Museo Wayuuwaa A'in, la Agencia Cultural del Banco de la República, Wikimedia Colombia y otros grupos indígenas de la región. Estas articulaciones se enfocarán en el apoyo logístico para espacios, organización de eventos conjuntos, conversatorios y encuentros territoriales.
