Description
[edit | edit source]Volunteers and staff members of affiliates from the Central and Easter Europe have worked together for the past four years to build the CEE Hub. The CEE Hub has had two full-time (project-based) employees for a little over a year and a half, and their job has been to implement the annual plans of the CEE Hub. The purpose of this lecture is to present the viewpoint of the staff on the CEE Hub project's implementation, communication with over 30 CEE communities, and collaboration with the WMF. We want to show practical side of day-to day work of ‘building’ a Hub. The session is intended for those who would like to learn more about the practical aspects, daily tasks, and difficulties involved in the hub-building process. The session is helpful for volunteers who wish to have a deeper understanding of the viewpoint and efforts of staff members as well as for any staff personnel (the WMF or affiliate staff) who wish to hear about and gain knowledge about our approaches.
