Wikimedia Deutschland/Governance and Movement Relations/Movement strategy

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki


By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be able to join us.


This strategic direction unites and inspires the Wikimedia Movement on our way to 2030. Two goals guide this direction:

  • Knowledge as a Service – Become a platform that serves knowledge in many formats and builds tools for allies.
  • Knowledge Equity – Focus on the knowledge and communities that structures of power and privilege have left out.


These 10 principles guide our work along the way:

People-Centeredness Safety & Security
Inclusivity & Participatory Decision-Making Equity & Empowerment
Subsidiarity & Self-Management Contextualization
Collaboration & Cooperation Transparency & Accountability
Efficiency Resilience
