Wikimedia Poland: Building a Holistic Support Infrastructure

Building 5 · Saturday, August 14, 13.30 UTC

Session Notes (etherpad)

Speakers

• Łukasz Garczewski (Chief Operating Officer, Wikimedia Poland)
• Klara Sielicka-Baryłka (Education Specialist, Wikimedia Poland)
• Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska (Community Support Officer, Wikimedia Poland)
• Wojciech Pędzich

Abstract

A holistic support architecture, based on a well thought community support, is vital for making Wikimedia a space in which different groups - editors, educators, GLAMs, researchers - can act toward providing universal access to knowledge. During the session we will:

• Talk about the experiences (both good and challenging) newcomers from education context have when interacting with Wikimedia community
• Show how community burnout is affecting those interactions and share strategies for preventing volunteers from burning out
• Share our experiences with inviting researches and Wikipedia readers to help us with content quality

Session Outcomes

• participants will know how to fuel the motivation of wikimedians and prevent volunteer burnout by well-designed recognition projects and engaging campaigns
• they will understand different challenges occurring when partners from the educational environment enter the Wikimedia projects
• they will understand more about how writing campings influence Wikipedia content quality

I'm planning to attend this session live!
