Who we are

WikiFranca is the Wikimedian association that brings together various French-speaking groups, both formal and informal, of the Wikimedia Movement.

WikiFranca currently brings together 25 member groups from 3 continents.

Its aim is to encourage activities in French on the various Wikimedia Projects, both online and in the field, and to promote collaboration and cooperation between French-speaking Wikimedians around the world, by offering support for their activities or organizing collaborative international projects.

Finally, WikiFranca aims to be a strong voice for the French-speaking community within the Movement and with the Foundation. To this end, WikiFranca aims to become a true French-speaking Hub within the Wikimedia Movement.

Our Objectives

act as a relay for French-speaking voices within the Movement and with the Wikimedia Foundation
to provide an exchange hub for strengthening the skills and competencies of our members through cooperation between the various French-speaking groups in the Wikimedia Movement
distribute in French information and news about the Movement to French-speaking groups

Background

The idea of an international francophone collaboration and the formation of a true francophone hub within the Wikimedia Movement was born in 2011. In the course of French-speaking Wikimedia meetings, its first projects were launched (international month of the French-speaking contribution, French-speaking WikiConvention…) and its structure gradually developed. In 2023, WikiFranca officially became an association under Swiss law.
