Abstract & description[edit source]
Abstract[edit source]
A workshop designed to start the process of aligning ways and means to exchange ideas and knowledge between different geographical regions and the challenges within each region that need to be taken into consideration
Description[edit source]
The CEE Hub project has been working on establishing a regional hub for the last 3 years and is now lead by two staff members for the last seven months. There have been exchanges with other regions of the world for the same time period, but there have been issues around finding the time and taking every region’s current development into consideration. This workshop aims to establish a baseline that regions/hubs can work with and establishing a more reliable way of talking to each other and exchanging knowledge. Ideally we would have attendees from the current list of hubs (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hubs/Ongoing).

Qn. How does your session relate to the event themes: Diversity, Collaboration Future?
Decentralisation is a cornerstone of the 2030 strategy - it helps put the tools in the hands of people who are currently directly affected by decisions made elsewhere halfway around the globe. Regional hubs (at least the way the CEE Hub is designed) are there to support those communities who have been underrepresented so far, and coordination among those hubs would lead to a more effective implementaiton of the decentralisation aspect.
