Communications: Sharing Skills
An open library for sharing knowledge on movement communications
About this library[edit]
This is a follow-up to the Wikimedia Conference 2015 and a session entitled Communications Best Practices: Telling Movement Stories. Many communications representatives from Wikimedia affiliates attended the session in their volunteer and staff capacities. The 60-minute event was intended to kick off an ongoing exchange about skills needed and experiences, and focused on how to utilize best practice communications in our movement, rather than talk about them in one exclusive session.
We collected a list of initial communications challenges in the session. You can find these topics in the sections of this library, with a space for possible solutions. Please consider this page a place to begin sharing your skills and experience, pose additional questions or challenges, and work together with individuals across the movement.
