Projekte/Strategy2017+: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

'''''A diverse community of volunteers with a wide range of skills, a desire to get continually better at their work together and that offers a constructive working environment to existing and new users.'''''

Currently, the greatest potential lies in the attraction and retention of new contributors. WMAT possesses effective means to spark the interest of newcomers for Wikimedia projects, but we must find more systematic solutions to motivate these potential volunteers to sustained participation beyond that. In the area of skill transfer, efforts are notably needed to spur regional growth, in order to include communities located outside of Vienna. Another important field of action identified is the active involvement in shaping a positive conflict culture, particularly in the context of our activities on non-administrative conflict resolution.

The greatest potential lies in the development of our partnerships with GLAM institutions - both in terms of opening contents and their potential re-use. Even more could be done in this area for the development of further (financial and staff) resources for our activities. Beyond this, the aim is to establish multipliers through the partnerships who independently advocate free knowledge in their institutions and industries. Another important question is how we could more strongly incorporate reader orientation into our project selection and planning.

'''''Creating collective impact on a societal level by working with and through others to achieve more impact than we could ever achieve alone.'''''

The programme is divided into the three areas of public relations, political and social representation of interests and education. The aim is to generate awareness among the general public for the significance of free knowledge and to shape the regulatory environment in which free knowledge can grow.

* Increasing the visibility of Wikimedia projects outside of the communities

In the area of public relations, the development of personal contacts to media representatives and more individualised (addressing regional issues, taking into account media office target audiences) press relations provide significant potential. In the area of the representation of political and social interests, the primary goal is the more specific support of our EU activities at national and regional levels - by maintaining our independence of political parties and other political organisations. In the area of education activities, plans are to increase results significantly by a focus on scalability and replicability, without depending too much on own staff resources.

Another area concerns cooperation with other organisations of civil society with a view to benefiting from synergies in the organisation of joint projects, on the one hand, and to achieve a higher publicity profile through joint presentation, thus establishing Wikimedia Austria as an authority in Austria civil society, on the other hand.
