Qn. How does your session relate to the event themes: Diversity, Collaboration Future?

Our Hub’s strategic goal is to develop and support the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge in the ESEAP region. This goal includes building capacity and supporting the growth of our affiliates, communities and content contributors, strengthening our collaborative processes, and working with partners to promote the free access to knowledge.

We are devoted to shaping the strategic direction of the Wikimedia movement in the region. We believe in the power of cooperation and partnerships to achieve our common goals. We are committed to developing strong, long-term ties with our regional community, stakeholders, and partners, while also acknowledging that the few that are at the decision making table, do not always represent the views of one and all in the community.

We are dedicated to working with a wide range of partners, including (but are not limited to) non-government organizations, cultural institutions, the academic community, and other like-minded groups, in order to accomplish these aims. Together, we think we can make a more significant difference and build a knowledge ecosystem that is more open and accessible to everyone.

We are also dedicated to upholding the principles of the Wikipedia movement, such as openness, objectivity and unrestricted access to knowledge. We are dedicated to open, honest and civil communication as we work toward our common objectives because we understand how crucial it is to establish trust with our regional community and stakeholders. We recognize that there are significant content, representation gaps within our free knowledge ecosystem and that we will need to continually adapt and reexamine our assumptions to remain relevant.

Overall, our Hub is dedicated to driving the strategic direction of the Wikimedia movement in the region and building strong and sustainable partnerships that support the development and strengthening of the ecosystem of free knowledge’s essential infrastructure. We believe that by collaborating and embodying our shared ideals we can nurture a more inclusive, equitable, safe and accessible knowledge environment for many to thrive and contribute.
