Amical Wikimedia starts a new year with the challenge of renewing its board. After some years of great service, it's time to move on. Elections will be during spring 2017. Also former Programme Manager Àlex Hinojo (user:Kippelboy) has been appointed as Amical's brand new Executive Director. The organisation wants to keep basing in a volunteer led model, and sharing it's Amical way with the rest of the affiliates of the movement. This January we also start a re-designed monthly report, inspired by the 2016 yearly report shared by Wikimedia Argentina some weeks ago.

Education edit

Education

This january we innovated experimenting with the concept of a Wiki retreat in an humanists residency. Most people know about writing houses, where writers or artists retreats for a short period of time to finish their novel, piece of art or scientific research, what about if a Wikimedian did this? Àlex Hinojo did an experimental one week stage in Faber Residency, Olot, here you can see the results.

GLAM edit

GLAM
 
Faber residency, our 2017 brand new partner

GLAM has become a core project in our strategy. It is on of the best ways to promote local nodes of activity. One of the highlights of this month is an experimental project run at a creative residency called FABER. Faber, the Arts, Sciences and Humanities Residency of Catalonia in Olot is a place for writers, translators, artists of diverse disciplines, scholars and scientists to stay together and to work on their personal projects. During their stay, the residents will collaborate in different kinds of activities addressed to students, professionals and general public. The activities will be carried out in accordance with a project, taking into account previous demands and necessities. The Residency is a contemporary space which acts out of the interests of the hosting society. It collects ideas, opinion trends and worries of contemporary world and European cultures. The Residency’s permanence of being up-to-date is reinforced by the residents who are going to stay there. The Residency will participate in the maintenance of communication lines towards Catalonia and towards the world, essential for today’s society, and will be a connecting link between the town and other towns, between the country and other countries. Faber is at the disposal of individuals, institutions, companies and non-profit organisations of Catalonia. here you can see the results

PESCAR brand new project

Inspired by other language wikis Wikicups and Wikileagues, this 2017 Amical has proposed to Cawiki community a brand new yearly challenge: Wikiproject PESCAR. PESCAR is actually and acronym for Politics, Economy, Society, Culture, Arts and Religion. PESCAR (which also happens to mean Fishing, in Catalan language) is an online competition with the aim of improving knowledge about the human history on Wikipedia. Throughout 2017, we will try to improve the quantity and quality of articles about this subject on Catalan Wikipedia. Each trimestre works for an Era. We also did some online challenges on sister projects, kept our weekly collaboration with Wikimujeres and prepared a new project with Wikimedia Spain which will take place in February.
