Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2018-20/Transition/Prioritization events/az
We came together to create the Movement Strategy recommendations. Now it’s time to figure out how to implement them. Wikimedia communities everywhere are invited to select their top priorities for implementation in 2021. Prioritization is the start of the transition to implementation. These local, regional, and thematic discussions will be hosted online by affiliates and communities with support from the Support Team.
What is prioritization?
There are many great initiatives in the Movement Strategy recommendations. Prioritization is meant as a reflection exercise for you and your group to identify what is important for implementation in 2021. This can be based on wanting to expand or strengthen existing work, to address community or movement needs, or to grow and innovate in new areas. Reflection can begin generally at the level of the recommendations, or it can be quite specific at the level of actions and changes. Discuss what will make a difference for you as a group and respond to your needs, and what will have a wider impact for the movement.
Overview
Designed by the Transition Design Group, prioritization events are local virtual workshops to kick off implementation discussions and see what recommendations respond to different needs and can make a difference in the movement. The aim is to produce prioritized lists of actions and changes that communities and affiliates feel will make an impact, both locally and globally. Implementation will be deeply-rooted in our principles.
Nə etməlisən
- Sentyabr və oktyabr aylarında yerli və ya regional virtual prioritetləşdirmə seminarı təşkil etmək üçün Dəstək Qrupuna Meta və ya e-poçt vasitəsilə məlumat verin (aşağıdakı ünvana baxın). Regional tədbirlər hazırlanmaq və məlumat mübadiləsi üçün olacaq. Prioritetləşdirmə fərdi icmalar və filiallar səviyyəsində olacaq, yerli əhəmiyyətli və maraqlı, həyata keçirməkdə maraqlarınızı müəyyən etmək üçün seminar tərzi olacaq. Prioritetləşdirmə tədbirlərinin bu bir səhifəlik icmalı və Strategiya ilə əlaqəli hər şey üçün mərkəzi nöqtəniz kimi Meta-dakı səhifə-yə baxın.
- Görüşünüzə hazırlaşın, köməkçi tapın və lazım gələrsə materialları tərcümə edin. Təklif olunan gündəliyə nəzər salın. Maraq sahələrinizi və tövsiyələri 2021-ci ildə həyata keçirmək üçün prioritetlərinizi müəyyən etmək üçün birdən çox zəngə ev sahibliyi etməli ola bilərsiniz.
- Görüşü sənədləşdirin (video, qeydlər), hesabat şablonunu tamamlayın (aşağıdakı düymədən istifadə edərək, vikidə və ya sorğunu formalaşdırın) və ərzində bizə göndərin 7 gün, olduqca asan.
- Noyabr ayında qlobal tədbirlərə qoşulun. Budur, indidən icraya qədər bütün prosesin bir səhifəlik icmalı.
Hər hansı bir sualınız və ya şərhiniz varsa, dəstək komandasına müraciət etməkdən çəkinməyin (e-poçt vasitəsilə: strategy2030 
wikimedia.org). Xahiş edirik, Vikimedia Fondunun Dostluq Kosmik Siyasətini yaxından nəzərdən keçirin.
Suggested Agenda
The first call can be up to 2 hours to introduce the process and the steps ahead. This call can be organized in collaboration with other groups or at a regional level. Local prioritization workshops would take place afterwards. Organizers should take time to introduce the principles as a guiding framework for our work ahead. The recommendations are full of great ideas and should be introduced with topics that are locally relevant.
Some calls may have a few people and happen once. Others, like around popular topics, may have lots of people attend and need follow-ups. Organizers should encourage other groups and communities to host conversations of their own.

Additional Guidance for Organizers
| What | Online events to decide local priorities for implementing the Movement Strategy recommendations |
| Objectives |
|
| When | Prioritization should take place from late September to October 2020. |
| Global conversations around coordination will take place in November and December. | |
| How | Affiliate and community organizers should adapt the suggested agenda for their context. |
| What is required |
|
| Resources | Resources (e.g. data support, facilitation, translation, documentation) can be reallocated from existing funds, such as from cancelled in-person events, or newly applied for if needed. Work with the Support Team to find the best solution for you. |
| Who should attend | Everyone! Share the information widely and keep your community informed. |
| Special focus on project communities and active online editors. | |
| Special focus on groups underrepresented in the Wikimedia movement - women, people of colour, indigenous communities, LGBT+ Wikimedians, and others. | |
| Parallel participation | Think of alternatives for people that cannot attend or for those with bandwidth issues:
|
| Work with others | If there is interest from other affiliates and communities, you can co-host events together for sharing information and ideas. Prioritization should still happen at the level of individual groups.
|
| What is the outcome |
|
| Questions? Comments? | Reach out to the Support Team by email (strategy2030 wikimedia.org) or on Meta.
