WikiWomenSummit

WikiWomenSummit (WWS) is a type of convening of wikiwomen. It was established in August 2023 as a day-long event during Wikimania Singapore. WWS has expanded its scope to include convenings of even shorter duration, such as being part of WikiWomenLunch at geographic or thematic conferences. Each convening is unique, dependent on the time and inclination of volunteer organizers who are familiar with the interests of the conference's wikiwomen attendees and can best assess the convening's necessity, method, and results. A common feature, however, is that each WWS shall have a keynote as a catalyst for inspiration.

Commitment

We, the global Wikiwomen, harnessing our collective strength, commit to fostering a community culture embodied by inclusivity, respect, equality and support. We pledge to contribute our talents, time, individual and collective perspectives to drive growth, solidarity and harmony in our common goals as well as the goals of the Wikimedia Movement. We will actively support our community and mentor other Wikiwomen, empowering them to reach their full Wikiwomen potential. Through collaboration and open communication, we will build strong relationships and create a positive volunteer environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

By working together and building partnerships, we will strive to create sustainable and impactful change. We also commit that we will support Wikiwomen Summit X Wikimania, making it a traditional gathering of Wikiwomen from across the globe connecting and engaging with each other, in-person or any other such means possible and institutionalizing Wikiwomen Lunch in our respective communities as means to strengthen our commitments.

We are dedicated to inspiring and motivating others to join us in our mission to build a resilient, better and stronger Wikiwomen leaving a lasting impact on our communities.
