ESEAP Conference 2024/Submissions/ESEAP Hub - the Future of the Regional Collaboration - Workshop


[ESEAP Hub - the Future of the Regional Collaboration - Workshop] edit

Abstract/description edit

ESEAP Hub discussions have been ongoing in the region since 2021 and have evolved to the high level definition of the purpose and functions, as well as practical ideas on how to bring the hub to life in the ESEAP region. At Wikimania 2023 in Singapore a preparatory council was appointed and at the conference it will be time to share their work and ensure there is a good alignment regarding the next steps in the whole region.

The workshop session will follow the plenary session and will focus on making the next steps for the hub creation tangible and clear in a participatory way. This will be the opportunity for the conference participants to provide their input on the deeper level to ensure that the next steps in hub creation are well aligned with their expectations and functional in their particular context.

Relationship to ESEAP or to the theme edit

ESEAP Hub is expected to be the common coordinating body in the region and play a central role in the future development of regional collaboration in ESEAP.
