To implement our grant, we reached to several institutions, regarding GLAM and education, presenting our work, aiming to create corporations and partnerships. We worked intensely reaching to several institutions, from which we got positive feedback as an initial start. Through numerous meetings and email exchange, we managed to push memorandum of understanding with some of these institutions. However, due to bureaucratic structures these institutions hold, the process of reviewing and signing the MoU was delayed. Even though we initiated some important MoU such as with University of Prishtina, UBT university, Museum of Kosovo and Museum of Albania, the signing of these MoU requested a lot of effort, as we needed to constantly remind them on this matter.
This experience gave us some valuable lessons which we look forward to implementing the following grant period:
- When dealing with formal institutions we need to plan and initiate contact as early as possible as the relationship building process takes time;
- We should drop our “shotgun approach”, rather focus our energy in building in one-two institutions which can have positive feedback & impact
- Constantly ping the institutions asking on progress regarding the potential partnership
- Create and maintain close relationships with key personnel/management of the organization as they are very important in moving forward the partnership.

Education
Education is one of our three program pillars, through which we aim to foster relationships with educational institutions and their educators. As this was the first long-term grant we received, we worked intensively in expanding this pillar, by conducting numerous meetings with institutions such as high schools and universities, as well as professors. To kick off the program, we managed to integrate Wikipedia as an extra credit assignment for two universities classes: Art & Design class at UBT university and Professional Development of Teachers class at the University of Prishtina, Faculty of Education. In Albania, we have been working with high schools in the region of Berat, in partnership with Peace Corps Albania, through which we held several workshops and editathons.
| Goal | Activities Involved | Description | Status |

As part of the cooperation, we held 4 workshops, creating new articles in SQ Wikipedia and Wikidata.

GLAM
Starting our grant, we have worked intensely in reaching out to GLAM institutions with the aim to inform them about the benefits Wikimedia projects brings to them. During this period we were able to set relationships with 3 institutions, 2 of which are in the process of signing a memorandum of understanding. However, the bureaucracy of public institutions has slowed this process.
| Goal | Activities Involved | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Establish relations with GLAM institutions | Museum of Kosovo | To implement our GLAM project, we have reached to Museum of Kosovo, aiming to set partner relationships with them. The idea was initially welcomed by Museum officials. However, the institution is undergoing leadership change, which has stagnated the process. As soon as the new leadership staff is set, we plan to work further and sign a memorandum of understanding with Museum of Kosovo and implement 2019 activities with them. | 50% |
| Museum of Albania | We reached to several GLAM institutions in Albania, showing them the work we do and the benefits it brings to these institutions. One of the major accomplishment in regard to GLAM is the partnership we are currently working with Museum of Albania.
We have sent a Memorandum of Understanding to the Museum which they have agreed on, and is currently on review by the Ministry of Culture. As soon as the memorandum is signed we planned to host a number of activities such as workshops, editathons, and photo visits, as well as, a Wikimedian in Residence for 3 months. |

| Authority for Opening Files of Ex-Secret Intelligence Agency | On December we held an editathon with Authority for Opening Files of Ex-Secret Intelligence Agency, which was a successful event. Seeing the potential, the Authority was open to host more events like this, as such, we agreed on signing a memorandum of understanding. The memorandum is in the review process by the institutions, and as soon as it signed we plan to host several events such as workshops with employees, workshop with students, editathons and more. | 90% | |
| Make GLAM institutions aware of Wikimedia projects as a tool that supports their mission | Wikivisit at Ethnographic Museum in Elbasan | We have started a GLAM project to document collections about Museums in Albania. We started with the Ethnographic Museum in Elbasan, considering also that this museum is very old and not good maintained, some of the objects are destroyed also because some years ago there was a flood. During this visit, we have documented at least 100 objects by uploading photos to Wikimedia Commons. This activity was our starting point for making GLAM institutions aware of the opportunities that Wikiprojects (Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, Wikidata) offer in the promotion of their mission. Also, we are encouraging people who have visited these museums and have pictures from different periods of the time, to publish them on Commons. | 100% |
