Project Goal[edit]
Briefly explain what are you trying to accomplish with this project, or what do you expect will change as a result of this grant. Example goals include, "recruit new editors", "add high quality content", or "train existing editors on a specific skill".
- Connect to high quality content organizations, their producers, publishers and promoters, to start using open licences, tools and FLOSS based web services and foster interactive participation of their existing audience or new users.
Project Plan[edit]
Activities[edit]
Tell us how you'll carry out your project. What will you and other organizers spend your time doing?
- Outreach work to cultural professionals in different libraries and museums. Meeting them for an informative consultation. Promoting and producing online events to present the benefits of working with Wikimedia ecosystem, open content, software and engaging with the public around knowledge and media sharing. We will compile, translate, adapt and localize GLAM relevant metainfo and publish it digitally online. We will also do at least one practical online workshop.
How will you let others in your community know about your project (please provide links to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions)? Why are you targeting a specific audience?
- Targeting professional cultural audience. We will reach out via direct contacts and meeting in person, as well as to contacts in the GLAM and higher learning institutions with whom the Creative Commons affiliate in Croatia has previously established rapport. We will also announce and report about the project in various media outlets.
What will you have done at the end of your project? How will you follow-up with people that are involved with your project?
- We will have a core group of informed and (somewhat) experienced individuals and organizations willing to work with Wikimedia and form GLAM Croatia. Ideally this could lead to raising understanding and interest for Wikimedia in GLAM institutions just ahead of its 20th birthday in the country where Croatian Wikipedia has problematic history and present reputation.
Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
- Events will be mostly online and when offline, they will be with up to 10 people with distance and following the local regulations.

Resources[edit]
Available[edit]
What resources do you have? Include information on who is the organizing the project, what they will do, and if you will receive support from anywhere else (in-kind donations or additional funding).
- Multimedia Institute in Zagreb is fiscal sponsor for GLAM Croatia, but also will participate in the project production and has space and production equipment for organizing and recording physical events. It has a solid track record from previous work in localizing Creative Commons as well as hosting iSummit for CreativeCommons in 2007 in Dubrovnik and can help scale up GLAM Croatia work in 2021 more significantly.
