Fit to strategy

This statement should address at least one of the strategic priorities listed here specifically. See WMF Grants Program criteria for decisionmaking.: The project will strengthen the ties between the Danish Wikipedia and the GLAM sector and push the sector towards more openness, leading to better content.
