Activities

edit
  1. What community or communities will be involved in this movement strategy discussion(s)?
    Yes. Working in synergy with follow country Wikimedians in Kisangani on Nov 2, 2020 (internal meeting), we found that for the purpose of diversity it will be better to also organize salons in other cities than Kisangani. So, did we find it useful abd high priority to delegate to 2 fellow Wikimedians to those cities.
  2. How will you make sure everyone is invited?
    Having organized so many movement strategy salons, we have lists of participants with phone numbers and emails. Apart from that, we have a mailing list for the User group, WhatsApp group, and Facebook page.
  3. How will you document community discussion(s) and feedback related to movement strategy? Who will be responsible for documenting these discussions?
    Yves Sefu (Lubumbashi) and Abel Mbula (Goma) are responsibles for the documentation. They has lead many movement strategy discussions/salons. He's attended the East African Strategy Movement discussion in 2019 and he has a good understanding of the strategy project so it will be easy for him to get feedback related to the movement strategy.
  4. What is your facilitation plan to support productive discussions around movement strategy? Please also provide a link to a Friendly Space Policy that will be implemented to support these discussions.
    Our plan is as follow: we are expecting to have two community leaders from other Wikimedia movement to open the meetings. We are expecting to have Benoit (Wikimedia Canada) and Diane (WMFr). They will be on the ground to answer questions from the audience. Yves Madika and Abel Mbula will be serving as a facilitators. Their work will be present the strategy recommendations and explain the recommendations to the audience.
  5. If you are requesting funding for online tools or services to support participation, please describe these services and how they will be used. If not, please write N/A.
  6. If you are translating movement strategy materials, in what languages will you be supporting translation? Who will be responsible for doing the translations? If not, please write N/A.
  7. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined in the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
