Today, we are more than a group of websites and projects. We have become a movement rooted in values and a powerfulvision. All of us now have an opportunity to decide where we go from here. We can decide how to make our vision a reality. What will we have achieved in 10 years from now?
From October to December 2020, Wikimedia communities, affiliates and the movement Strategy Support Team organized about50 events to prioritize the recommendations. As a result of those, as well as theGlobal Conversations event,eight major initiatives and initiative clusters (a grouping of several initiatives) were chosen as the priorities for the implementation. During December 2020 to February 2021, the top eight initiative clusters, nicknamed from cluster A to H, were further discussed in a series of “follow-up events”. The results of the follow-up discussions were published indetailed reports on Meta. Now the implementation has begun. Information on the current state of affairs can be foundhere.
Wikimedia 2030 Movement Strategy has been an open and participatory process. While supported by Wikimedia Foundation staff, Strategy has been based on a series of movement-wide consultations and high volunteer participation. In its first phase, over 1,800 statements from about one hundred communities were combined to create the Strategic Direction. In its second phase, more than a hundred volunteers, from various communities and affiliates, created together the recommendations and principles, informed by extensive movement feedback.
The process aims for even more openness and participation across the movement to shape our future, especially from project communities and underrepresented groups. In late 2020,a diverse groups of Wikimedians, with on-wiki engagement and guidance, created an outline for the online transition events. Later, hundreds of Wikimedians from diverse backgrounds joined theGlobal Conversations to prioritize the recommendations and initiatives.
