WLA 2024 Theme Suggestions


Kindly recall that Wiki Loves Africa
 (
www.wikilovesafrica.net) is an annual photography competition that takes
place across Africa. It was designed to take back the visual narrative by
re-imaging contemporary society and cultural heritage across Africa through
the eyes of Africa’s photographers.

Wiki Loves Africa images have collectively - since metrics began in 2016 -
been viewed 1 billion times.

Started in 2014, the 9 editions so far have resulted in the contribution of
102,068 images to Wikipedia's media library, Wikimedia Commons, by over
10,380 photographers from 55 countries across the continent. The images
have a life beyond the competition, with these images being placed in
articles on Wikipedia, and thus being viewed by over 1 billion times since
the impact began being monitored from 2016; with 25 million views in May
2022 alone.

Wiki Loves Africa

www.wikilovesafrica.net) est un concours annuel de photographie qui se
déroule dans toute l'Afrique. Il a été conçu pour reprendre le récit visuel
en réimaginant la société contemporaine et le patrimoine culturel à travers
l'Afrique à travers les yeux des photographes africains.

Les images de Wiki Loves Africa ont collectivement - depuis le début des
mesures en 2016 - été vues 1 milliard de fois.

Démarrés en 2014, les 9 éditions à ce jour ont abouti à la contribution de
102 068 images à la médiathèque de Wikipédia, Wikimedia Commons, par plus

une vie au-delà du concours, puisqu'elles sont placées dans des articles de
Wikipédia et ont donc été vues plus d'un milliard de fois depuis que
l'impact a commencé à être surveillé à partir de 2016 ; avec 25 millions de
vues pour le seul mois de mai 2022.

[Wikimedia-l] A new strategic direction for Wikimedia Deutschland

[Julia Kirchner]

Dear Wikimedians,

We are excited to announce that Wikimedia Deutschland (WMDE) has a new
strategic direction until 2030[1]! It was approved by WMDE’s General
Assembly in June 2023 and describes Wikimedia Deutschland's part in
implementing the global Wikimedia Movement Strategy 2030[2]. Developing
this strategic direction, we drew heavily from our Movement Strategy,
WMDE’s values[3] and the Linked Open Data Strategy[4].

In the introduction of the strategic direction, we describe WMDE’s role,
commitment and responsibilities. Additionally, Wikimedia Deutschland
commits to the following five strategic priorities until 2030:

   -

   Strong infrastructure of free knowledge
   -

   Thriving and stable communities
   -

   Greater diversity and equitable participation
   -

   More usage, easier access
   -

   Wider political and social support


The two pillars of the Movement Strategy, Knowledge as a Service and
Knowledge Equity, are integrated in different parts of WMDE’s strategic
direction[5] and were integral to its development. The strategic direction
was developed in a participatory process in 2022–23 and intends to provide
orientation for the work and decisions of the Wikimedia Deutschland
Supervisory Board, Executive Board and staff.

We would like to give a big shout out to all the affiliates and people at
the Wikimedia Foundation who supported us with ideas and input in this
process and those among you from different Wikimedia projects that
participated in our discussions.

You can read the full article about the process and content of our
strategic direction 2030 on the Diff blog [6].

We are now already well underway in taking the next steps with this
strategic direction by formulating more concrete, measurable strategic
goals for the aforementioned strategic priorities. Looking forward to
reporting back once we have taken this next step!

Cheers,

Julia Kirchner (WMDE)

[Wikimedia-l] Nominate for the Youth barnstar!!

[Wasi]

Hey there everyone!

We're thrilled to share that as part of IYD23
we are
awarding the youth barstars
 to the
youth champs in our movement. This year, we're shining the spotlight on
those who are consistently supporting and guiding the youth in our journey,
as well as those amazing young individuals who are setting the inspiration
bar sky-high with their outstanding contributions.

Ever had that one person who's been your rock, guiding you whenever you
needed a helping hand? Now's your chance to show them some love with a
well-deserved Barnster nomination! Also, if there's a youth out there who's
been rocking it with their inspiring work, nominate them too!!
To nominate for the youth Barnstar, go to the link and add the name:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/International_Youth_Day_2023/Nomination

We get it, these barstars might not change the world, but we're pretty darn
sure they'll give a fantastic boost to the incredible work these folks are
doing. Let's spread the good vibes and honour the people making a
difference!

Kind regards,
Wasi
On behalf of the International Youth Day organizing team
