Other Metrics Description Target Results Comments Methodology
# of activities developed Educational programs: For education programmes here fall all the activities we organise, such as: workshops, courses (usually repetitive, like 6 weeks long course for seniors consisting of 6x2hrs lessons), campaigns (Week of Libraries with Wikipedia, 1Lib1ref) , trainings (for librarians, teachers), editatons (when they are organised specifically for our target groups - e.g. local editaton at highschool or Wikigap for seniors) , trainers/lecturers meetings and meet ups, conference contributions (e.g. TEDx, teachers conferences, google GUG/GEG groups) If it is a long term course or semestral course at university with multiple amounts of lessons, it counts as one in metrics. If it is an activity which is across the programmes - such as editaton, wiki gap - we usually count the activity where it belongs to, only once. Yearly plan: 120

Programs for Community: Community program offers a diverse range of activities, which are dedicated both to experienced Wikipedians, active community members as well as to newcomers including experts from different fields, who would like to use Wikipedia to promote subjects from their thematic areas. Throughout the whole year community programs are developing following activities: 1. Editathons (open to public, with large engagement from local community starting from trainers and co-trainers up to PR and technical support): - Woman Month on Wikipedia a flagship event of WMCZ, which is on one side a part of international campaign toward raising awareness, on the other side WMCZ managed to build a strong community around this topic creating a series of editathons for diverse audience in terms of age, social background and location - Human rights/minorities editathons within the Human Rights on Wikipedia,WMCZ would like to continue on organizing events to empower different voices in society. Thanks to establishing a partnership with stakeholders and engaging skilled Wikipedians, further development - thematic editathons, such as editathon being a part of Czechoslovak competition or others, developed in line with community needs - in partnerships. In editathons WMCZ mesures number of participants (divided into newcomers and regulars), number of created articles, number of edited articles. 2. Competitions, thematic and adjusted to the target groups: Czechoslovak competition (editing contest) Czech Wiki Photo competition (photographic contest for WikiCommons/Wikimedia purposes) Within competitions, we measure the number of participants, number of new content created (articles written/edited), files uploaded. In photographic competition there is a quality check system run by the jury and a nomination for the newcomer of the year. 3. Trainings: for NGOs tailor made for the specific needs of target group, it has some elements of editathon but also include more practical approach allowing participants to gain independence in writing articles for existing community, we plan to engage the Wikiphotographers by developing a program of advanced trainings 4. Ongoing projects Fotíme Cesko (We Photograph Czechia) 5. Community-led projects: Community mini-grants Popis pamatku (Describe the monument), WikiMeetups, WikiClubs. Thematic edit-a-thons run by a volunteers. Yearly plan: 20

Programs for Partnerships: In addition to ongoing partnership activities, we are planning two editatons. In addition, we are planning two events for the public, which will shed light on the issue of open licenses. We are also planning educational activities for the Tech/Wikidata community and advocacy events. Yearly plan: 8
