Historie

Wiki Movimento Brasil emerged from some community organization experiments dating to 2005 and 2006. Those strictly volunteer and informal experiments aimed to organize groups of editors and outreach the Wikimedia projects in Brazil.

The Grupo de Usuários Wikimedia no Brasil, whose trade name is “Wiki Movimento Brasil”, was recognised officially by the Wikimedia Foundation in 2013.

Six founding members came together in 2016 to elaborate the first strategy for Wiki Movimento Brasil. In the following year, the association had its statutes registered in a notary’s office and established a professional structure.

Although it was derecognized by the Wikimedia Foundation in 2018, Wiki Movimento Brasil did not interrupt its activities and was recognized by the Foundation again in 2019. It consolidated its professional team in the following year and increased the number of associate members.At the time of group-wide writing of this multi-year strategy in 2022, Wiki Movimento Brasil has 32 associate members and is a key component of the Wikimedia Movement.

Purpose

To be a Brazilian Wikimedian agent of activation, coordination and social transformation for open knowledge.

Vision

To consolidate the equity, reliability and safety of the sociotechnical infrastructure of the open internet.

Mission

To act on the activation, coordination and social transformation for open knowledge.

Pillars

The pillars that guide Wiki Movimento Brasil are:

  • Collaboration & Sharing;

  • Interconnection & Partnerships;
  • Social relevance;

  • Reception & Belonging.

Grupo de usuários Wiki Movimento Brasil

The Wikimedia Community User Group Brasil was derecognised in May 26th of 2018.[3] After that, the group has been renamed Grupo de usuários Wiki Movimento Brasil (Wiki Movement Brazil User Group, in English) due to Wikimedia trademark rules. The logo was changed for the same reason. This page mentions both names for historical reasons (the former in events and reports before the derecognition and the new one after that) and we do not claim any right on the names used before the derecognition.

Coordinate the Brazilian Wikimedia agencies

To contextualize autonomous Brazilian protagonisms in networks, participatory governance and safe spaces.

Foster and diversify partnerships for open knowledge in Brazil

To weave sustainable networks of cooperation and dissemination between peers of open knowledge and Brazilian Wikimedia agencies.

Promote knowledge equity

To critically recognize the absences and activate the blossoming of marginalized communities and knowledge with fair and safe methodologies.

Deepen and direct networks of governance within the Wikimedia Movement

To coordinate strategic processes of the Lusophone community, partner affiliates and emerging political structures in the Wikimedia Movement.
