8. Do you work with any thematic or regional platforms such as WISCom, CEE, Iberocoop, etc.

Yes

8.1. Please describe what platforms and your work with them.

Celtic Knot (CK) community is an existing informal platform that we are tapping into which has existed since the first CK in 2017.

Through the Erasmus+ WikiWomen project Wikimedia Community Ireland associated with Afûk (an organisation tasked with promoting the Frisian language in the Netherlands), The Mercator European Research Centre (hosted by the Fryske Akademy), Learning Hub Friesland, Coláiste Oiriall (an Irish medium secondary school in Monaghan), Euskal Wikilarien Kultura (The Basque Wikimedian User Group), and BHI Antigua Luberri (a Basque language secondary school located in Donostia San Sebastian). The WikiWomen project is focused on the creation of toolkits (for learners, teachers/facilitators, and GLAMs) to support and empower young people in the development of research skills in order to contribute to minority language Wikipedias. The CK conference will be the main multiplier event for the WCI launch of the WikiWomen Project and will share the toolkits with wider communities enabling them to adapt to their own regional and minority languages enabling the empowerment and facilitating the engagement of more young people into the movement. Project Website: https://www.wikiwomen.eu/

We are also connecting with the Language Diversity Hub. Wikimedia UK has been a supporting participant of the Language Diversity Hub (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Language_Diversity_Hub) ever since its initial discussions. We supported the development of the discussions around the Arctic Knot Conference 2021. Recently, the group has been seeking ways of boosting participation in its discussions, and WMUK suggested that Celtic Knot 2024 could offer a focal point for that in person. The Hub’s focus is on tech and language communities in the very early stages of wiki engagement - so while the core conference audience is further in their work, there are important connections and support points that can be explored.

In July 2023 Wikimedia Community Ireland acquired funding for their first Irish Language Officer role and working relationships are in development with Irish language organisations such as Conradh na Gaeilge and Foras na Gaeilge. These organisations are responsible for the development and promotion of the Irish language.

9. Please describe the target participants for this event.

Wikimedia communities:

• Wikimedia communities within the Celtic nations
• Wikimedians with an interest in Celtic cultures
• Wikimedians with an interest in minority languages
• Previous Celtic Knot attendees
• Language diversity Hub - we have a connection with the group; they may use the conference as a hook for an in person organiser meeting
• WikiWomen Project Partners (as listed above)

Non-Wikimedians:

• People who engage with online language communities but haven’t interacted with Wikimedia yet
• Language communities local to Waterford, such as Gaeltacht na nDéise, Dúngarbhán le Gaeilge, etc.
• Language communities outside of the host city within the regional focus of the conference (i.e. Welsh, Scots Gàidhlig, Cornish, Manx, Breton, Basque etc.)
• Advocacy audiences - people who are not Wikimedians, and may not want to learn to edit, but would benefit from learning about how language communities can benefit from engaging with Wikimedia thus encouraging them to get involved in the movement.
• Language-related decision makers (possibly within Celtic Knot languages), foregrounding issues such as indigenous groups and their representation
• Academics working and researching in the areas of languages, linguistics, sociolinguistics, language planning and policy, cultural heritage, and preservation.
• Members of the Irish Traveller Community as an indigenous and ethnic minority community in the host country of Ireland with a notable tradition and cultural heritage including an indigenous language.
• Local Community Services to Waterford and the Southeast Region (incl. Library Services, Regional Youth Work Service Providers, Local artist collectives, GLAMs, and the local University SETU)

There is no minimum requirement for level of experience with Wikimedia or its associated projects, this is to further encourage participation from non-Wikimedians.

10. Please provide the link to the event's page if you already have one.

The following questions (11-14) will refer to the Community Engagement Survey which is required in order to submit a proposal. Here is the survey form that you can copy and use (if the link does not work): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ieEI8EFf2vxjD9wN_h8-srYeRCp4fhSp7_1_wiR2jh8/edit. This survey is required to access a Conference grant.

11. How many people did you send the community engagement survey to?

317

11.1. When did you conduct the survey, and for how long?

The community survey was distributed on 14 December 2023 and was open until 21 January 2024 (5 weeks) to gain an understanding of what intended attendees wanted to see as part of the CK in 2024.

12. How many people responded to the survey?

45

13. What are the main objectives of the event?

CK’s objective is to foster cross-cultural collaboration and knowledge exchange among contributors working on minority Celtic languages across Wiki projects. We will achieve this with facilitated networking, community-building, sharing tools/methods, and exploring the use of Wikimedia projects for language groups. CK serves Wikimedians as a platform for finding new tools, discussing movement news, and enhancing cross-cultural exchange. Non-Wikimedians will gain a positive view of Wikimedia, understand engagement opportunities, and learn new skills. The conference will empower attendees to become advocates for Wikimedia within their organisations/communities. We aspire to engage online communities (existing Wikimedians not engaged with affiliates, diaspora, content creators, etc.), explore the impact on these communities, and foster new partnerships. Past participant feedback, as seen in previous conference evaluations, guides our efforts in creating a meaningful and impactful event.

14. Based on survey responses, what are the most important things your community should do at the conference to achieve these objectives?

Summary and visualisations of the survey responses can be found at https://w.wiki/8zwK

We asked several questions to understand what are the most important topics people would like to address. Overall, the topic of community growth is predominant: how to engage and retain contributors, and how to build a strong and stable editors base.

Respondents are also very interested in how to reach out to underserved language communities and build partnerships with language organisations.

On more technical topics, people are interested in Translatewiki (translating the interface of their wiki) and editing non-Wikipedia wikis (Wiktionary, Wikisource, and Wikidata).

Therefore, we will make sure that these topics are represented in the conference program through workshops, presentations or discussions.

Finally, the community is eager to meet in person to network, attend social activities together, and discover more about the culture and language ecosystem in which the conference will be set.

15. Please state if your proposal aims to work to bridge any of the identified CONTENT knowledge gaps (Knowledge Inequity)? Select up to THREE that most apply to your work.

Content Gender gap, Language, Cultural background, ethnicity, religion, racial

15.1. In a few sentences, explain how your work is specifically addressing this content gap (or Knowledge inequity) to ensure a greater representation of knowledge. (optional recommended).

Our conference aims to strengthen language communities within Wikimedia by providing a forum for discussion, learning, and promoting the expansion of projects.

The event also underscores our commitment to cultural diversity, specifically engaging with indigenous and minority languages in Celtic Nations, fostering cultural and language exchange, and inclusivity in the digital realm.

Our work addresses knowledge inequity through the WikiWomen Project, a collaborative initiative involving schools, Wikimedia Communities, and language organisations. The goal of WikiWomen is to highlight the gender gap in content and empower students in minority language communities (Gaeltacht regions, Basque, Friesland) to write Wikipedia articles about underrepresented women in their languages. This aims to redress the gender imbalance on Wikipedia and strengthen the online presence of minority languages, which aligns with the aims of CK.

16. Please state if your proposal includes any of these areas or THEMATIC focus. Select up to THREE that most apply to your work and explain the rationale for identifying these themes.

Education, Culture, heritage or GLAM , Diversity

17. Will your work focus on involving participants from any underrepresented communities?

Gender Identity, Ethnic/racial/religious or cultural background, Linguistic / Language
