I am a manager in the Movement Communications team at the Wikimedia Foundation. I’ve had the pleasure of supporting the Wikimedia movement as staff since May 2019. I’m originally from Iran and live in Toronto, Canada. I have worked for more than 10 years in the non-profit sector. A pivotal part was based out of Bangkok where I worked across Asia and the Pacific with highly marginalized populations, youth leaders, and volunteer activists on the response to HIV. I have a masters degree in international development from the Paris School of International Affairs at Sciences Po. I have worked on communication, education, social justice, advocacy, human rights, migration, and gender and sexual diversity with grassroots communities, international NGOs, and the UN. Before joining the Foundation, I was working with UNESCO in Kabul, Afghanistan on education reform and curriculum design with a focus on lifelong learning, 21st century skills, and digital literacy.

Abstract & description

Abstract

A role-playing session focusing on particular, more complex areas of the roles and responsibilities in the future of our global movement. The session will provide an opportunity for every participant to see the proposed problem or opportunity from different angles.

Description

The aim of the session is to create a deeper and better understanding of some of the complex matters we are working on in the Movement Charter around the future roles and responsibilities of the movement. The topics will include, for example, the questions around global governance, fundraising and funding for the movement, the future of the affiliate model, and involvement of project communities on the global level.

During the session, participants will have an opportunity to collaborate with others to address different hypothetical scenarios from different roles and perspectives. After the discussion there will be sharing back to surface the lessons learned, key Charter content implications, and also to support the continued presence of widened perspectives in the future conversations.

Further details

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

The Movement Charter is a Movement Strategy initiative proposed by the recommendation “Ensure Equity in Decision-Making”. The aim of the Wikimedia 2030 Movement Strategy process has been to reimagine the collective future of the movement with a focus on better collaboration across the movement and embracing the diversity of perspectives present across the movement stakeholders. As a result, with the aim to define the future roles and responsibilities, mutual accountabilities, and ways of working in the movement, the Movement Charter is intrinsically linked with the theme of Wikimania this year.
