About programme activities

[edit]

The WikiNEM program has two main interactive activities, the programme below specifies the kind of engagement each activity require from participants:

WikiNEM Organizational Compass

is a big group activity that will help us identify areas and visions for collaboration in the region that will help guide us to achieve our goals for Wikimedia Northern Europe. The outcome of the activity will be documented on wiki and the activity is facilitated by Ulrika.

Glossary
In order to facilitate our group discussion during the organizational compass, we have prepared a list of key words and what they mean in this context.
Feel free to prepare by finding a translation in your language.
  • purpose – the intention with the network. What is the reason for a Northern Europe Wikimedia collaboration to exist?
  • vision – a dream for the future. What do we want to achieve in the next five years?
  • leadership – what values should characterize our leadership to achieve the purpose. A guide for ourselves to know what is important when when leading onself. It is not about identifying someone as a leader, but to identify what kind of leadership is important for the group.
  • community – who is involved? Volunteers, partners, allies and mission aligned organizations. Actors and stakeholders.
  • management – how to organize our work and communicate with each other.



WikiNEM Open Space

is a meeting activity where the particpants set the agenda based on a theme and a question. The WikiNEM open space focuses on topics that participants need to discuss to move things forward with Wikimedia collaborations in the region. Based on the agenda of topics, different working groups will form and each group will write up a report on a perpared digital document. All reports are part of the outcome and will specifically contribute to next steps for collaborations in the region.
