Overview

1. In order to support community review, please provide a brief description of your organization's work in the upcoming funding period.

Wikimedia Argentina will be focusing its annual plan strategy on improving and increase the professionalization of our programs by making them long-term sustainable. In this sense, we intend to develop and design actions in the long term but with specific and short-term results and impact. The proposal presented by WMAR is driven by four major strategic lines through which our three major programs will be developed. During 2015 we have learned a lot about our community, their needs, interests and our resources. In this sense, during 2016, WMAR will carry out a new program instead of our Federalization program, changed as a result of our learnings and failures. Also, WMAR priorities for 2016 will be: to strengthen and give continuity to our educational program with more sustainable activities, retain and strengthen relationships with cultural institutions in order to obtain better results and increase their involvement, and to empower, engage, involve and build a more inclusive community.
Wikimedia Argentina presents through this proposal a detailed description of their programs and projects. For each of the projects and activities WMAR has developed the necessary measuring rates and a project description to favor the understanding.
You can also find an estimate of WMAR's 2016 Global metrics and schedules for each program.

4. How does your organization know what community members / contributors to online projects need or want? Does your organization conduct needs assessments or consult the contributors and volunteers most involved with its work?

Wikimedia Argentina works closely together with Wikimedia’s Spanish-speaking community. The main projects we work on are currently Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, although we plan to start putting a stronger emphasis on Wikivoyage and Wikisource. It is not by chance that we have placed our biggest efforts on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Earlier in 2015, Wikipedia Argentina conducted a survey with the idea to learn more about its community members, which activities motivate them and which projects they would like for Wikimedia Argentina to develop. The major part of the community members who responded to the survey (193 editors, given that the survey was presented only to those people who were logged in) worked frequently on Wikipedia, with 61.2% of them working to correct mistakes, 37.2% creating new articles, and 37.2% editing on specific topics. Of the total of users surveyed 33.9% contributed to Wikipedia a few times a year, while a remarkable 27.6% did so weekly.
Out of all the projects powered by Wikimedia Argentina, 67.3% would like to participate in the Education Program; 51% was interested in participating in projects within the GLAM Program (taking into account the answers related to GLAM and digitization of content), and 49% would like to take part in the Community Support initiative, right before the Federalization Program, which interested around 30% of the people surveyed.
The definition of these programs has not been coincidental either. Wikimedia Argentina is in close communication with its community. During this year 2015 we realized that we work with a plural community, meaning that if we want to scale up our projects outside the city of Buenos Aires, we need to count not only with editors –who on many occasions are reluctant to participate in our activities (29.8% of editors are not interested in collaborating with WMAR) - but also with volunteers, promoters, and users who feel they can get involved and put activities into action in their own contexts.
Wikimedia Argentina counts with three communities at present, two of them outside Buenos Aires. Our organization has a mailing list for the three communities, with which we are in contact on a daily basis. We work for and because of our volunteers and our community, so no event, project or activity is carried out without our previous attention and response to their concerns and questions.
Wikimedia Argentina holds monthly meetings with its Board. These meetings are open to the whole community, and travel allowances are paid for those community members who wish to attend. The same system of travel grants applies to our activities, which are open and free of charge, whenever a community member wants to participate in them.
In addition, during the formulation of our plan for 2016-2018 this year, we invited the community to give us their feedback through our discussion page (you can find the feedback here), and through a short survey (with little participation), which confirmed the interest of users and volunteers in respect of the programs we needed to promote. During 2015 we have also invited the community to join in our work groups. This proposal is still at very early stages, we are still in the process of validating information and organizing the groups, but it has become clear by already that approximately 70% of our 20 interested members would like to work on the Education Program, and the remaining 30% would like to participate in the GLAM Program.

Table 2 notes:

Programs: upcoming year's annual plan

Wikimedia Argentina will focus its strategy during 2015-2016 through 3 programs:

Programs

Education program

The Education Program, remains as one of the main programs of Wikimedia Argentina . No major changes in the formulation and program planning have been done, and after a year in which we strengthened alliances and we conducted projects and activities in an orderly manner, we have learned from the changes arising from the context in order to consolidate the program; focusing in long term projects, avoiding, isolated activities within the educational community.

In this sense , the strategic approaches to seek our Education program targets in 2015-2016 are:

• Wikilabs: Incubator of experiences and educational practices within the Wikimedia projects.
• Educational Edit-a-thons: Education project where students come in close contact with the history of their local contexts and contribute to the collective building of their historical memory. The building of historical memory as an educational line is strongly present in schools and classrooms.
• Collective Experiences: Contests and editing challenges to improve the contests within Wikimedia projects
• Wikiworkshops:Teachers as leading actors. We have hosted several editing workshops for teachers and actors of influence in the classroom to generate change, and to impulse Wikimedia projects. To design theses workshops we use the design thinking methodology.

GLAM program

The GLAM program remains as one of the main programs for Wikimedia Argentina too . During 2015 we have learned to focus our activities with cultural institutions as a way to improve our performance and generate long-term sustainable projects . Also, Wikimedia Argentina will encourage through its GLAM program the cross-cutting strategic line of construction of the historical memory of Argentina . This strategic line that also cross-cutting the Education program, defines much of our work , also through a new program's action: the EduGlam project.

Our GLAM objectives will be driven by the following strategic approaches:

• Digitize, liberalization and creation of content : Activities driven by WMAR, Wikimedia community and cultural institutions in order to promote the release and of quality content to improve Wikimedia projects. Among the activities within this project we include photography contests, editing challenges, the digitizing project etc.
  
• Strengthening cultural institutions: Strategic approach that aims to strengthen the cultural institutions we work with, through activities to improve their skills in the field of free culture.
  
• Construction of the local culture : Strategic approach which aims to promote the construction of the local culture and identity in Argentina
  

Community Support program

The Community Support Program is the new program launched by Wikimedia Argentina for 2016. During 2015, we have analyzed the composition of our community and we have realized that beyond editors, Wikimedia Argentina’s community is wider and more diverse . We have also re-defined the meaning of the concept federalization and we have understood that the support to our projects can arrive from different spaces. Therefore, we will focus on working with existing communities and support initiatives that put them in value as well as encourage initiatives which will generate a more diverse and plural community and other projects and activities to empower WMAR's community aligned to our strategy .

During 2015-2016 our main objectives will be driven by the following strategic approaches :

• Build community identity:To promote meeting spaces in the community as places where to strengthen ties and organize working groups to improve the projects carried out by WMAR.
• Users and editors’ support: Support initiatives and trainings regarding users and editors’ needs, as our most important target groups.

Strategic lines

The four strategic lines within the programs are:

• Participation and content: promoting larger participation in Wikimedia projects and increasing their content.
• Promotion of Free Culture: raising awareness of the concept of free culture and the release of public domain archives.
• Scaling up-Federalization: increasing community participation in projects of Wikimedia Argentina and improve the support provided by the organization to projects and initiatives carried out by volunteers , partners and other community members within Argentina.
• Liberation and creation of content: Improving the number of material released and created to better articulate the programs and actions of Wikimedia Argentina

Long-term Education Program's target: scaling up program

Strategies for scaling up programs help us to visualize the long-term impact we want to achieve with our program and the actors needed for this purpose.
The proposed long-term WMAR's Education program can be defined as follows;

Following Jocelyn DeJong methodology, the scaling up of the Education program’s impact should be:

Needs Assessments

“	My personal wish is to be able to think about schools not just as places where contents are transferred but also as places where knowledge is produced. How can we achieve this? Wikimedia projects and their methods of production give us some clues that we, as teachers, need to interpret through our didactic lens.

Education Program's smart objectives & activities

Participation and content

Online Participation and content

Participation

Strategic objective: To encourage the participation of the education community through inclusive initiatives and proposals suited to their needs during the academic year 2015-2016.

Consolidating the role of educators as editors and creators of quality content for their region and for the global Wikimedia community.

• 600 hundred education experts trained on WMAR’s Education Program and other Wikimedia projects in three online courses during the academic year 2015-2016 (March to December).
  
• At least 500 hundred education experts becoming new users of Wikipedia and 360 finished the virtual course in time and form.
  
• To increase to 15 (now 8) the number of teachers involved in WMAR educational program after the virtual course, from June to October
  
• To ensure that after the virtual course, at least 35 editors remain active 3 months later and 20 are active after 6 months.
  

Content

Strategic objective: To increase the quantity of content added directly by education experts to Wikipedia, Wikipedia Commons and other projects, as a result of their participation in virtual initiatives.

• 320 articles improved by education leaders as a result of their participation in the virtual courses organized during the school year 2015-2016.
• At least 100 of these considered to be quality improved or created articles by WMAR standards.
• Increasing the number of projects to 10 ready to be used in the classroom, designed by the participants in the virtual initiatives.

Online project: Online course

WMAR online course: Building bridges between school, digital and free cultures

This activity responds to WMAR’s strategic approach for the Education Program: Wikilabs What is Wikimedia Argentina’s online course? What constitutes a good distance-learning experience? How can the same content be suited for different educator profiles and contexts? These are some of the questions that guided Wikimedia Argentina through the process of producing, designing and creating a training proposal for teachers all over Latin America, back in 2014. The course, initially conceived as an 8-week training event, redefined part of its objectives during 2015 to become a strategy to generate new and independent editors, where participants were introduced to Wikimedia projects and encouraged to involve in Wikipedia as active editors. The course develops within a learning frame which is oriented towards two clear objectives: For the education community to learn and take ownership of the Wikimedia Projects, generating an impact in teaching practices. To encourage education leaders to become new editors of Wikipedia, consolidating as autonomous creators of quality content. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Wikimedia Argentina’s online course was put forward after analyzing the demands received from the education community. Given the current context of technology immersion, Argentina is experiencing a change in the methodology and education paradigms, where educators are becoming the key actors in the new ways to build knowledge in the classroom. We step away from educational proposals such as MOOCs, to offer a different type of online course with experienced tutors, where participants are guided all the way through the learning process, and where the focus is placed on editing Wikipedia and generating long-term commitment to the projects. In this sense, the proposal responds to the action lines defined as solutions to the following contextual issues: Objective Issues addressed To generate a sense of ownership and personal achievement which, in turn, has an impact on educational practices Increasing and improving educator’s knowledge of Wikimedia projects and how to implement them in the classroom in practical terms To facilitate the replicability of the knowledge and skills acquired in the course Working locally to reach globally. Our proposal reached the whole territory of Argentina and extended to other Latin American countries To create community Establishing long term relationships and encouraging education leaders to take up a role as Wiki ambassadors of the Education Project To provide flexible learning Offering quality-driven evaluation, without the temporality and rigidity of common learning courses. Guaranteeing the sustainability of the proposal. The learning space understood as an incubator of ideas 2016's actions sum up What's next? • WMAR will maintain its educational proposal for teachers in the online course format. • WMAR plans to launch a second edition of the course, which will focus entirely on how to edit Wikipedia and its sister projects. • WMAR is working on the design of its first and new education platform, through which teacher proposals will be directed and courses will be designed and launched autonomously. At the same time, we aim to design and arrange new course proposals and make them available to the teaching community as required. • WMAR wants to impulse this proposal both at regional level and through the Iberocoop network. We are also working to make the project replicable globally. Logic Model Virtual course Logic Model Virtual course Logic Model

• 10 to 20 students remaining active editors in the 3 months following the workshops, and 5 still active after 6 months
  

Educational Edith-a-tons

• At least 4 educational edithathons carried from April to October, that will mean at least 20 articles improved or created and 50 new images uploaded
  
• Retaining 3 students as active editors 6 months after the education editathons
  

Onsite project 1: face-to-face trainings

Changing the approach to face-to-face training

This activity is linked to the following strategic approach planned within WMAR’s Education Program: Wikiworkshops and Education Edith-a-tons WMAR will continue to push onsite training of teachers and students as a means to articulate the implementation in classrooms of at least two projects: Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. During 2016 we will cease isolated training events, framing our training activities within specific projects instead. Such activities will be aimed at future educators, teachers and students from stable counterparts and will focus on improving participation and increasing the amount of quality content within each project. From this point of view, each project will have a duration of 3 months and will be developed in three stages, established before the start of the activities. Secondary Education strategy Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Training courses for educators from secondary schools, universities and teacher-training institutions Training of participating ICT experts Implementation of an edition project powered by teachers and carried out through a network of students (contests/specific editing challenges/photo contests/ translating challenges suited to each particular context and school levels) Identification of leading ICT students Training support for teachers and ICT experts in the classroom Final evaluation of the activity University strategy Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 To train teachers and students, all at once through one workshop Define the activity and the content that is going to be worked with WMAR support To develop an specific activity according their interests and needs that would mean an improvement of content in any Wikimedia project Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? This training project responds to the needs detected by WMAR along the course of our work in different education environments. The issues we have come across are similar and common to most educational institutions: a lack of knowledge of Wikimedia projects and of the possibilities of their implementation in the classroom. In view of these issues we have come to the following conclusions: Isolated training activities improve the knowledge of teachers, but this knowledge is not necessarily applied in the classroom There is no correlation between content and teacher training. On the contrary, there is correlation between trained teachers and intention to implement a project based on Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons in the classroom Those projects which keep students involved in activities show faster progress and generate better results in terms of numbers Considering the above, we believe that institutionalizing the Training project will promote: Objective Issues addressed Generating stable relationships with educational institutions at all levels It allows us to offer different content in the teacher training courses, separating these courses from the activities in our strategic line of free culture awareness Generating editing projects that can be applied in teaching environments It stops teacher training courses being isolated and sporadic activities Consolidating the number of counterparts in the Education Program It generates a stable work network with our counterparts Engages students as actors in the creation of content It provides a balanced response to the need and requirement of teachers and students to belong to and identify with a project 2016's actions sum up What's next? WMAR will continue to channel the actions carried out with its counterparts through this training project. WMAR will work towards specific actions and results, in agreement with those counterparts which have already received training, generating stable work relations and becoming a point of reference in the country. WMAR’s plan is to design actions and offer activities suited to the needs of educators and students, involving them actively and considering their particular contexts and realities. WMAR aims to reach partnership agreements with 2 new universities, contributing to the qualitative and quantitative improvement of the content of Wikimedia projects.

Onsite project 2: Cross cutting programs: EduGlam proposal, building a culture of memory in Argentina

Education Edit-a-thons

EduGlam project This activity responds to WMAR’s strategic approach for the Education Program: Education Edit-a-thons Cross cutting programs: EduGlam Wikimedia Argentina has been working on analyzing the interests, reality and needs of its local context during 2015. Bringing memory back to society has had as an immediate consequence in terms of revaluating Argentina’s social and cultural Patrimony. Apart from our classic Education and GLAM projects we are now promoting activities which link education and promotion of culture in order to reach new participants and introduce them to culture and to social responsibility and citizenship. We have been working on redefining the scope of editathons and reformulating them as educational and cultural activities which have been of great importance for Wikimedia Argentina. The change in the paradigm has been remarkable. Defining a new strategic line of work, such as the creation of spaces for the construction of memory, is a priority for WMAR as a means to continue our work in a more organized and consistent manner. In this sense, educational edithatons are already showing very satisfactory results as great spaces to engage new and future editors. The reasons why we are introducing a new strategic line in Education and GLAM projects are: Building the cultural and historical memory in Argentina is a strategic objective that crosscuts the cultural agenda and the educational curricula. The national and jurisdictional policies of the model 1:1 (one computer for one student) introduced by National Decree in 2010, has improved the possibility of accessing knowledge through the necessary tools in order to reduce the digital breach, and the creation of same opportunities for everyone at social level. In terms of cultural policies, the government has started to highlight and give relevance to human rights and Argentine memory construction. To improve educational and cultural results by organizing activities with both institutions at the same time, as a way to coordinate the limited resources. Education Edit-a-thon Education edit-a-thons are included in the strategic action plan of our Education Program. In 2014, Wikimedia Argentina started implementing this activity which, mainstreamed by the strategic line of GLAM projects –to support the construction of Argentina’s national identity-, meant that for the first time, the strictness of cultural institutions was broken to allow students to take active part in them. Our plan for 2016 is to continue to power actions which favor the interaction of cultural institutions with educators and students. The project calls for museums and archives to become spaces where students, guided by their teachers, can build knowledge through the historical patrimony guarded by these institutions. <br< The project, which we will continue to impulse in 2016, responds to the following objectives: To make the most of the potential of museums and archives as learning resources, bringing these spaces closer to the classroom or turning them into “classrooms”, as places where knowledge can be found, produced and built in a joint manner. To position cultural and historical heritage, by highlighting local cultural patrimony in Wikipedia and Wikimedia commons thanks to the intervention of students supported by WMAR. To generate a community of younger new editors. Indirectly, WMAR also aims to: Put cultural institutions into value as learning environments. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Education editathons are also part of WMAR’s response to the demands in matters of diversity: Education editathons have become a good strategy to attract students from every social background, sharing the same educational resources and working in similar contexts. They have also been our strategic answer to the similarities found in the demands from school and cultural contexts. Education editathons constitute the practical application of a line of action which governs both the Education and GLAM programs: they reflect the adaptability of our strategy to different contexts. Objective Issues addressed To increase to potential of use of museums and archives, bringing these resources closer to the classrooms, or turning them into “classrooms”, spaces where knowledge can be found, produced and built in a joint manner It helps highlighting and improving the existing knowledge of the local patrimony through the intervention of students, facilitating the collective construction of the Argentine identity To bring cultural and historical heritage to the front, by highlighting local cultural patrimony in Wikipedia and Wikimedia commons, thanks to the intervention of students supported by WMAR It links the Education and GLAM projects through a common strategic line, making it possible for students and teachers to work with material of cultural value with the objective of generating contents in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons Generating a community of younger new editors It introduces young users to editing Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, with the aim to increase the number of editors of the Wikimedia projects in Spanish 2016's actions sum up What's next? Wikimedia Argentina will organize 4 education edith-a-tons during 2016, with an expected participation of 500 students. The counterparts involved will be the cultural institutions with which WMAR currently works -5 in total-, and the local government counterparts supporting the GLAM program. Establishing common objectives for the GLAM and Education programs is a strategy which we will continue to use in response to the local context, pushing for the interaction between younger users, the tools provided through the national programs of technology immersion, and the local patrimony, with the aim to boost the number of new editors. Our work with schools will continue to be carried out through the national government in the frame of the Conectar Igualdad program. This program will be oriented towards strengthening social inclusion and supporting cultural diversity. The construction of the national identity is mainstreamed by this activity, through the promotion of cultural institutions powered by the GLAM program. Logic Model EDUGLAM projects EDUGLAM projects

Wikiambassadors' project

Building a network of Wikipedian ambassadors in matters of education

This activity responds to the strategic approach of WMAR’s Education Program: Collective experiences. This activity is linked to the objectives and results expected for the Onsite Training project. During 2015 Wikimedia Argentina put forward a program of Wikipedian ambassadors of the Education Program. To date, 8 experts in education from schools and universities in the country have promoted projects within the classroom with the objective to improve the content and increase student participation in Wikimedia projects. Our proposal, which is new in many of the educational institutions approached, is a break through the existing education paradigms, a trend that we have observed in Argentina since 2010. The vast geographical extension of Argentina makes it necessary for us to use this type of strategy, which despite being designed to sort out geographic limitations, serves also to provide a solid basis for the future development of the Education program creating a network of collaborators which is sustainable long-term. Students collaborating as Wikipedian ambassadors, as well as ICT leading students, are also starting to play this role. They are our actors in the local context and the channels that WMAR supports to spread the Education Program and ensure the replicability of its projects. The objectives and main characteristics of the project can be defined like this: To promote free culture awareness through the word of recognized education experts among the education community. To involve teachers in the Education Program as promoters and points of reference for its diffusion. To link teachers’ work and active participation by students as promoters of activities within the classroom, with proposals agreed upon by consensus. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? WMAR aims to generate programs which are sustainable. The sustainability of the Education Program depends largely on its replicability and the fact that it can be applied as reference in different types of education institutions throughout the country. With objectives which are similar to our proposal for Onsite Training where we aim at identifying and training potential ambassadors, this strategic line mainstreams each of the projects powered within the Education Program. Considering the above, we believe that institutionalizing the Training project will promote: Objective Issues addressed To promote free culture awareness through the word of education leaders among the education community Improving the existing knowledge about free culture and Wikimedia projects among students To involve teachers in the Education Program as promoters of its activities and points of reference for its diffusion Improving the knowledge about our Education Program. Implementing projects in the classroom through specific activities which bring an improvement to the contents of Wikimedia projects To link teachers’ work and active participation by students as promoters of activities within the classroom, with proposals agreed upon by consensus Legitimizing classroom activities which encourage student participation, as actors and producers of knowledge in Wikimedia projects, in particular in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons 2016's actions sum up What's next? WMAR will continue to work with teaching experts and students with the objective to introduce the Education Program in classrooms. WMAR will work in a suitable, contextualized manner according to the reality of each of the collaborating institutions, with the aim to improve the content of Wikimedia projects in terms of quality and quantity, through specific actions. By involving teachers and students in the coordination and implementation of the program, WMAR seeks to consolidate and grant sustainability to the Education Program. WMAR’s proposal for 2016 is to consolidate the program with an improvement focused on results rather than the total number of institutions involved.

Positioning Wikimedia Argentina

Positioning Wikimedia Argentina in the public agenda

One of the priorities of the organization is to position Wikimedia Argentina’s Education Program. Through specific on-site activities, WMAR proposes to improve the existing knowledge about free culture and impulse the Education Program, aiming at approaching potential collaborating institutions, potential ambassador teachers and future new younger editors. Likewise, we are working to be the educational referent on free culture and to establish Wikimedia as the organization that promotes free culture in the region and throughout Argentina. In this regard, our objectives can be defined as follows: To consolidate the position of WMAR’s Education Program as a referent in strategic spaces. To sustainably build and broaden the network of WMAR contacts related to the Education Program. To generate and build debate about free culture in educational environments in Argentina. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Working in the promotion and diffusion of free culture is the necessary previous step, although not sufficient, to achieve a consistent implementation of WMAR’s Education Program within institutions and in diverse educational environments. Considering the above, we believe that institutionalizing the Training project will promote: Objective Issues addressed To consolidate the position of WMAR’s Education Program as a referent in strategic spaces Strategically raising awareness of the concept of free culture and WMAR’s Education Program in diverse educational environments To sustainably build and broaden the network of WMAR contacts, related to the Education Program Building a network of contacts, experts in education, who help us promote the program and its related projects To generate and build debate on free culture in educational environments in Argentina Institutionalizing WMAR as advisor and generator of debate on free culture in Argentina 2016's actions sum up What's next? Approaching 5 education related institutions to create awareness on free culture, the Education Program and how they can be used in projects and activities in the classroom. Promoting WMAR in its functions as a reference organization for free culture within educational contexts and as a link with government institutions. Establishing WMAR as a point of reference in the generation of debate on free culture in the country. Promoting our work in the Education Program among reference educational environments. Networking and generating new alliances in educational organizations, alliances that help us guarantee the correct functioning and sustainability of the Education Program

Towards a sustainable program

Educational support for a sustainable program

WMAR’s main objective is the sustainability of the Education Program; not only measured by the quantity of content generated, but also by the quality of the promoted projects and activities. Quality can be measured by the level of appropriation of the projects among the teaching community. During 2015, WMAR has developed several educational resources aimed at improving the understanding and use of Wikimedia educational projects. Nevertheless, we believe it is necessary to put our educational resources in context, generating spaces where teachers can participate in the creation of such resources, making our work proposals accessible and adapted to the educational reality. During 2016, WMAR is going to impulse a gamified project to be implemented in the classroom. This way of bringing Wikipedia and all of WIkimedia’s projects into the classroom, requires a contextualization of our resources through a better understanding of the reality of the recipients. Our objectives then are as follows: To establish a platform of educational content, which will be accessible at any time and will be exclusive to Wikimedia Argentina. To develop “education itineraries” for the projects in the Education Program that encourage the appropriation of the activities by teachers and students and adapt to school and universities’ contexts. To generate material that can be extrapolated to the whole Spanish speaking Wikimedia community and translated to the global community. To adapt the content of our projects to the contextual reality of educational institutions in Argentina, favoring the participation of students. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Providing support material is essential for our education activities, in order to draw a line of work for students and educational referents who are internalizing Wikimedia Argentina’s activities or who are promoting actions arising from the concepts contained in our Education Program. Objective Issues addressed . To establish a platform of educational content, which will be accessible at any time and will be exclusive to Wikimedia Argentina Having an educational platform that belongs solely to Wikimedia Argentina, strengthens our work in the field of education. It breaks with our current dependence on online courses, offering the possibility for users to access educational material at any time, thus contributing to the creation of a community To develop “educational itineraries” for the projects in the Education Program that encourage the appropriation of the activities by teachers and students and adapt to school and universities’ contexts It facilitates the assimilation of the WMAR projects by educators To generate material that can be extrapolated to the whole Spanish speaking Wikimedia community and translated to the global community It positions WMAR’s projects as generators of quality educational proposals To adapt the content of our projects to the contextual reality of educational institutions in Argentina, favoring the participation of students It improves the suitability of the content of Wikimedia projects to the educational community, all through specific proposals aimed at implementing activities in accordance with WMAR’s objectives in matters of education 2016's actions sum up What's next? During 2016, WMAR plans to develop new manuals for teachers and students, to be used and that stand for the activities in the classroom. WMAR will develop a new educational proposal based on the gamification of Wikipedia, in order to adapt to the needs and contexts of schools and to improve the content of the Encyclopedia and Wikimedia Commons, as well as to encourage the participation of new editors. WMAR will develop its own educational platform, where users will find educational resources, virtual courses and learning guides, as well as becoming a space for construction of our community. WMAR will create new material that can be used by Iberocoop, the Spanish-speaking community, and that can be translated for the global community Logic Model New education materials towards a sustainable program New education materials towards a sustainable program

Project: Increase participation

Participation, retention and improvement of content.

This activity responds to WMAR’s strategic approach for the GLAM program: Construction of the local culture Wikimedia Argentina will encourage participation in the programs by launching specific projects designed for different participant profiles. We will promote online and offline activities to boost participation and bring in new users as editors of Wikipedia. Encouraging participation means establishing a pluralistic baseline of participants who can contribute to the improvement of the content of Wikimedia projects, and who can support WMAR in the activities impulsed through the GLAM program. The participation of editors in face-to-face activities helps us improve and support new editors in the process of learning how to edit, so they can become active editors in the future. In this sense, we expect the following results in terms of contents: To promote online and offline activities to favor participation, edition and retention of new editors for the Wikimedia projects. To achieve an improvement in terms of content, particularly in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, by taking into consideration the community’s interests and needs. Some online and offline activities proposed for 2016 are: Activity Purpose of the activity: context Considerations Impact Editing Challenges To support Wikipedia editors’ interests. This initiative is currently being implemented with very satisfactory results. We are approaching the community to assess their needs. Find out more here Assessment of the needs of the community of users of Wikipedia in Spanish. 1 editing challenge held every 2 months. Fulfillment of community needs and interests. Improvement of the content of Wikipedia in Spanish New editors retained Editing photo contest To improve the presence of Argentina in Wikimedia Commons as a way to preserve its heritage. To invite photographers and other users to become editors by turning the photo contest into a combined editing and photo contest The preservation and promotion of cultural heritage is a strategic objective that crosscuts the GLAM program and its activities. Improvement of the content in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons New users involved Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? WMAR’s ultimate goal is to improve the number of active editors who contribute to the projects. Favoring participation through cultural promotion activities helps us reach new users who can eventually become new editors. Objective Issues addressed To impulse online and offline activities which favor user participation, content edition and retention of new editors in Wikimedia projects It favors new individuals joining the community. It favors the construction of a pluralistic community To boost the improvement of contents, mainly in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons by taking into consideration the community’s real needs and interests Addresses the current lack of awareness of the real needs of active editors of Wikipedia 2016's actions sum up What's next? WMAR will attend in a more comprehensive way the community's interests and needs to improve in quantity and quality the Wikimedia projects. WMAR will design at least 5 editing challenges according WMAR's interests and needs to improve the content within Wikimedia projects. Photo contests or any other initiative involving the community will be supported by WMAR with trainings and resources.

• At least 200 people involved in the edit-a-thons, and at least 140 new users attending

Project: Involving GLAM partners

Institutions take GLAM!

This activity responds to WMAR’s strategic action plan for the GLAM Program: Empower cultural institutions In 2015 WMAR began a reformulation of the classic edit-a-thons which, to that moment, had been organized as sporadic events among institutions. The redefinition of edit-a-thons as activities evidenced the need for us to approach cultural institutions with a different type of initiative that could put these institutions in the spotlight, turning them into active and necessary actors for the development of the activities. Giving a leading role to the cultural institutions where we develop our activities is a necessary requirement prior to, and after the activities. This strategy has helped a great deal in the concretion of projects impulsed by WMAR with cultural institutions, in the frame of the GLAM program. The Institutions Take GLAM project, promotes the following activities: Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Analysis of the institution’s suitability to WMAR’s strategic line for the GLAM Program. Study of the content available at the institution. Editing workshop for at least 2 cultural experts within the institution. Uploading of materials to Wikimedia Commons prior to the start of the activity. Cooperation with the institution in the organization of the edit-a-thon, where the content previously uploaded to Wikipedia and its sister projects will be used and its value enhanced by the participants. Definition, on the day of the edit-a-thon, of the material that can be highlighted as interesting, and of the articles that can be improved. Sustained cooperation with the institution in the improvement of content. Redefinition of edit-a-thons: Activity Purpose of the activity: context Considerations Impact Edith-a-tons Edit-a-thons are one of our main face-to-face activities. Redefined by WMAR in terms of impact, it continues to be the best event to engage new users and introduce them to editing. Edit-a-thons have been redefined by WMAR as face-to-face events to introduce new participants (cultural experts and newcomers) to the editing of articles The purpose is to improve content in Wikimedia projects by involving new people. Number of new users Increase in the number of editors retained Content improvement Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? The training of cultural institutions is WMAR’s strategy to impulse long-term projects and achieve the sustained participation of the cultural institutions we work with. Objective Issues addressed To strengthen the active participation of institutions in the activities of our GLAM program Facilitating the comprehension and assimilation of the GLAM program by institutions. It also favors the participation of people outside WMAR in the proposed activities To favor a long-term, sustainable cooperation with cultural institutions in Argentina Avoiding isolated actions To provide complete solutions to the needs of cultural institutions in Argentina Adjusting our activities to the reality and potential of each institution. Gaining a better focus for our activities To support the improvement of content through initiatives which are based on quality, and which promote the construction of the Argentine identity by highlighting its cultural heritage Mainstreaming a line of work which is present at all levels within the activities impulse in the GLAM program.Defining a precise and quality-focused strategy for WMAR’s work in this program 2016's actions sum up What's next? WMAR is currently implementing this project, and will continue to do so, with those cultural institutions which are engaged in our activities in a stable manner. Our aim for 2016 is to continue to work with the mentioned institutions which have become stable counterparts of our projects, with the only addition to the project of those new institutions that can adjust to the requirements of our line of action. Organizing onsite training sessions has proved to be a good strategy, since during face-to-face activities the number of new participants has increased by nearly 40%. Favoring face-to-face work through pre-activity workshops guarantees the presence of new participants in later activities, where they are introduced to editing with the advantage of many of their questions having been answered beforehand. Building Argentina’s identity and memory by bringing to light its local and historical heritage, will continue to be our main strategic line. We expect to cooperate with 6 institutions in this project, assisting them in the release of quality content related to the line of work impulsed by WMAR in the frame of GLAM projects.

Scaling up - Federalization

Strategic Objective: To increase the knowledge of the program and to build GLAM work groups throughout Argentina to support WMAR’s GLAM program

To improve the knowledge and the support to WMAR’s GLAM Program by involving recognized cultural experts throughout Argentina

• In May 2016, 1 virtual course for cultural referents of 4 weeks long, with the result of at least 50 new cultural staff trained in WMAR GLAM projects and activities
• At least 40 participants become new users.
• At least 30 people finishes in time an form the online course.

Project: Online course for cultural intitutions

Online course: building a new sense of culture for cultural institutions

This activity belongs to our strategic approach: Strengthening cultural institutions In 2016 Wikimedia Argentina is going to carry out its first distance-learning initiative in the GLAM program. Although we want to promote the course in a similar way as the Education course, the activities and contents will be designed differently, given that cultural institutions in Argentina are at an earlier stage in terms of knowledge about the program and its projects, and about Wikimedia projects in general. The estimated duration of the online course will be 4 weeks. In this regard, our objectives are: To improve the awareness of cultural institutions on the concept of free culture, the Wikimedia projects and how they can relate to their own activities. To increase the knowledge of the program in Argentina, and to improve our coordination with new institutions outside Buenos Aires. To position cultural leaders as promoters of the program in different institutions throughout the country. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Argentina is a large country where the long distances make it difficult for us to reach all of the provinces and respond to their demands as adequately as we would like. In addition to this, cultural institutions in Argentina continue to be hermetic organizations where the presence of our projects is none, or very weak. Cultural authorities do not fully understand the projects and actions that WMAR impulses in matters of culture. Objective Issues addressed To raise awareness of the concept of free culture among cultural institutions, to increase their knowledge of Wikimedia projects and how they can interrelate with their own activities Dealing with the current lack of knowledge about Wikimedia and its projects, and the concept of free culture among cultural institutions To improve the knowledge of our program in Argentina and the collaboration with new institutions outside Buenos Aires Improving the knowledge of WMAR and its GLAM program. Making our activities visible within cultural institutions and making the institutions aware of the utility of implementing them To position cultural authorities as promoters of our programs inside different institutions throughout the country To generate partnerships with cultural institutions in the country. To set the grounds for a budding network of cultural ambassadors of WMAR 2016's actions sum up What's next? WMAR will run 1 virtual course for cultural institutions and cultural experts in 2016. The course will be a pilot test and will have the objective to increase the existing knowledge about Wikimedia projects among institutions, the opportunities for joint cooperation and to generate new partnerships in educational organizations throughout the country. We expect to launch the course from June 2016, given that the second semester of the year is the best time to put initiatives into practice with cultural institutions in Argentina Logic Model GLAM online course GLAM online course

Project: Reaching new public

New audiences, future participants

This activity belongs to our strategic approach: Construction of the local culture Bringing the GLAM program to new members of the public and adding new participants to our projects is one of the main objectives of WMAR in the GLAM program. Through the organization of sporadic face-to-face activities, WMAR expects to open and generate debate about free culture in sectors of the public where this concept is foreign. WMAR counts with a solid but small community, hence the need for inclusion of new participants who can become new editors. At the same time we are working to become an educational referent on free culture, and to position Wikimedia as the promoter of free culture in the region and the whole Argentina. In this regard, the objectives we have defined are: To reach, through strategic positioning, new profiles of people who can support the GLAM program. To generate debate on free culture in cultural environments, a concept which does not exist in Argentina. To establish a firm base of stable contacts on which to position our actions from a strategic point of view, to attract new participants to our activities. To reach alliances with local governments as doorways to cultural spaces and massive convocation of our activities. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Positioning Wikimedia Argentina in the cultural sphere is a necessary step to improve our levels of participation, with the addition of new people to our activities. Coordinating activities with strategic partners is vital to reach our objective of attracting more people from outside our movement. Objective Issues addressed To use strategic positioning to reach new profiles and people who can support the GLAM program Generating new strategic alliances to allow us to build a bigger community of participants in the GLAM activities To generate debate about free culture in cultural spheres, a concept which does not exist in Argentina Sparking off debate about free culture in cultural institutions to cut through the hermetism that characterizes these institutions To establish a firm base of stable contacts on which to position our actions from a strategic point of view, to attract new participants to our activities Increasing the variety of spaces where we promote our activities, making them competitive against the cultural offer in Argentina To reach alliances with local governments as doorways to access cultural spaces and massive convocation of our activities Attracting new participants to our activities through shared initiatives with local governments, favoring the inclusion of new participants 2016's actions sum up What's next? During 2016, WMAR will focus on the promotion of the GLAM program, as an opportunity to attract new participants to its activities. The strategic line of promotion of free culture will have the main objective of improving and increasing the number of participants from the general public who take part in GLAM’s face-to-face activities. In addition, we want to work on positioning the organization in the media. Each mention to our activities in the mass media translates into activities where a lot of new people attend, and who become beginner editors During 2016 we will continue to work on joint initiatives with the local government of the City of Buenos Aires, who is in charge of the preservation and has access to the majority of cultural spaces in the city. The local government is also close to the mass media. The activities organized in the city through the local government have returned an increase of nearly 45% in the number of new participants, many of whom have started editing with us. Generating new alliances and networking in relevant cultural spaces in Argentina who can support us in guaranteeing the good results and sustainability of the program in 2016.

Project: Digitizing project

Digitizing project

This activity belongs to our strategic approaches: Digitalization, liberation and creating content - Construction of the local culture During 2016, WMAR will continue to power its digitizing project. We are presently working with 4 cultural institutions. The main objective of the project is to favor the release of content by those organizations which have been consistently working with us, providing them with the training and tools necessary for the correct release and upload of content. The strategic objective on which we will continue to work in 2016 is the release of quality material focused on our goal to build Argentina’s memory through the preservation of its cultural and historical heritage. In this regard, the objectives of the program are defined below: To improve and increase the content of Wikimedia Commons concerning the history and cultural patrimony of Argentina, promoting the increase of the local patrimony available under public domain or free license. To improve the content of Wikipedia and other projects by positioning and making use of the released material. To involve cultural and educational institutions in the construction of historical memory through the materials released for free use. To favor the release of material that highlights local historical patrimony through new projects such as Wikisource. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? It is no coincidence that WMAR’s line of work in regard to digitization and release of contents is focused on the construction of Argentina’s identity. 70% of Argentina’s cultural and historical patrimony is still in process of digitization, in many cases this material is archived in institutions that count with poor resources. Argentina is going through a period where the construction of the historical memory is an important line of work within the public agenda, crosscutting the cultural and educative contexts as well. Working under this premise is not just a strategic action but it is also strongly connected to the needs of the Argentine society nowadays. Objective Issues addressed To improve and increase the content of Wikimedia Commons concerning Argentina’s history and culture, promoting the increase of local patrimony available under free license or public domain Improving the visibility of the historical archives in Argentina and the contents they keep, to favor an improvement of the contents found in Wikimedia projects concerning the country’s history. Bringing the archives closer to the general public To improve the content of Wikipedia and other projects through the positioning and use of the released materials Using the released content to improve relevant articles in Wikipedia and other projects To involve cultural and educational institutions in the construction of memory, through the diffusion and use of the released materials To give visibility to archives as spaces for construction of knowledge, and to bring them closer to educational environments To favor the release of materials concerning the historical patrimony through new projects such as Wikisource Releasing Argentina’s cultural and historical patrimony to improve the content of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects 2016's actions sum up What's next? WMAR will continue to impulse the digitizing project with its current counterparts in cultural matters. The quality of the material released will be determined by the suitability of the documents and images to the strategic objective promoted by WMAR in GLAM activities. Promoting the use of the released material among the community and at schools, mainstreaming our different programs. To increase the release of contents in 2016, in order to improve other projects such as Wikisource, with books related to our main objective of promotion and preservation of the historical patrimony.

Wikipedian in Residence

Strategic objetive: To improve the content regarding Argentina cultural and historical heritage in Wikimedia Commons and Wikimedia projects

To place the first WIR for WMAR in one of our 4 long-term partner cultural institutions

• To position the first WMAR’s WIR within one of our 4 main partner institutions. This would mean 1000 new images/pictures/documents etc. released, 200 articles improved.
• At least 100 images/pictures/documents etc. considered quality images from WMAR point of view

Project: WIR

Wikipedian in Residence

This activity belongs to our strategic action: Building local culture Placing the first Wikipedian in Residence in Argentina, as a way to ensure the sustainability of the work we have been carrying out with different cultural institutions. In line with our priorities, the WIR will be in charge of selecting, according to specific quality standards, the historical and cultural material under public domain or free license that support our line of work in the construction of the Argentine identity, and enhancing their value. The main objectives of the program are: To support our action lines in matters of release and upload of quality content to Wikimedia Commons , from inside the institution. To give visibility to the released material by positioning it in Wikipedia and its sister projects. To promote WMAR’s GLAM program and to be a point of reference, especially in the digitization project. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? The figure of the Wikipedian in Residence will help us reinforce our work in the digitization project Objective Issues addressed To support, from inside the institution, our action lines in matters of release and upload of quality content to Wikimedia Commons To be able to physically select the quality material (regarding Argentina heritage) that can be released, thanks to the presence of the WIR To highlight the released material by positioning it in Wikipedia and its sister projects Improving the content of Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and other sister projects with the uploaded material. To stop depending on the availability and decisions of our volunteers To promote WMAR’s GLAM program and to be a point of reference, especially in the digitization project To be able to spread WMAR’s GLAM program in Argentina as a part of the team 2016's actions sum up What's next? Cultural institutions in Argentina are characterized by their strong reluctance to accept interference from external organizations. All along 2015 we have worked hard to build relationships and earn the trust of the institutions, setting very clear limits to the work we want to promote with them. Our aim for 2016 is to promote for the first time the figure of the Wikipedian in Residence in any of the 4 institutions that have become our stable partners. The WIR could be an itinerant figure. We will maintain the same line of work for this new figure in 2016. For WMAR, the presence of a WIR is a sign of the sustainability of the proposals in the GLAM projects.

Strategic approaches

Community Support program is framed through the following strategic approaches:

• 
• 

• Build community identity:To promote meeting spaces in the community as places where to strengthen ties and organize working groups to improve the projects carried out by WMAR.
• Users and editors’ support: Support initiatives and trainings regarding users and editors’ needs, as our most important target groups.

Preliminary program analysis

Learning along the way: from Federalization program to Community Support program

Changing priorities: from Federalization to Community Support

Wikimedia Argentina has revised the objective of its actions during 2016 towards a new program. In 2015 WMAR implemented its Federalization program changing the bottom line of its objectives. The changes were made to adapt to the reality of the context, which led us to reformulate our concept of federalization. During 2015, WMAR’s Federalization program was powered by the community taking ownership of the activities and proposals of the GLAM and Education programs. Throughout the year, we have seen our community in Argentina grow, thanks to WMAR’s actions and to the presence of active editors and people who made their first approach to editing. The definition of federalization as “the construction of editors' communities” was changed in 2015 to give way to the promotion and acquisition of projects put forward by WMAR including communities which did not belong to the Wikimedia community, but were however points of reference within their own contexts and supported us in positioning our projects as innovative opportunities in matters of culture and education. The concept of putting one program at the service of the rest of programs came to define federalization as a strategic line for 2016, mainstreaming each of the rest of programs proposed. During 2015 WMAR has developed a better link with the Wikimedia community in the country. We have carried out two surveys this year. The first one aimed at pinpointing where our community was, what their interests were and their degree of involvement. 74% of the people surveyed did not know WMAR, but 49% considered that the most important project to push forward was one to support the community, far from the 30% who considered federalization a priority. Our second survey, conducted to validate our strategic plan, also showed that 50% of the people surveyed considered that Community Support should be a priority project. In view of these results, Wikimedia Argentina intends to implement a Community Support program during 2016, without disengaging from the initial objectives set for the Federalization program. Last but not least, it is important to say that distances in Argentina at the same time our limited human resources have ended up redefining the federalization program. The expected results for 2015 were not the best . We have learned along the way and we are refocusing our actions and activities to ensure better support to the community with our new program.

Long-term Community Support Program's target: scaling up program

Strategies for scaling up programs help us to visualize the long-term impact we want to achieve with our program and the actors needed for this purpose.
The proposed long-term WMAR's Education program can be defined as follows;

Following Jocelyn DeJong methodology, the scaling up of the GLAM program’s impact should be:

Project: meeting the community

Community meetings

This activity belongs to our strategic action: Support editors and contributors In 2016 WMAR will start to organize offline meetings with the community. These meetings will be open to anyone interested in WMAR’s activities, and they will aim to be a leisure space that welcomes active editors, former editors, Wikipedia users and volunteers who may be interested in helping with the organization’s offline activities. The idea behind these meetings with and for the community is not random. WMAR held two open encounters for the community in 2015, each organized for different reasons, receiving similar feedback in both: the community would like for the organization to hold these meetings more often and regularly. Offline events are considered by our community as the best instances to get to know each other in person, meet new people and engage those users who may be curious into editing. In addition, WMAR has increased its number of volunteers thanks to the mentioned two meetings. During 2015 WMAR’s office received an overall makeover. Offline activities with the community need to be complemented with weekly open office hours during which the WMAR community can bring in their conflicts and interests, establishing our office as a space for consultation and meetings. In this regard, the main objectives of the meetings would be: To increase the knowledge of the community and to bring in new editors and users. To learn about the interests of the WMAR community and to channel their needs as driving actors of future activities. To generate a network of volunteers who support WMAR’s activities in 2016. Establishing our WMAR office as meeting place for the community. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Offline activities are a proposal that came from the community, who considers that offline activities favor a healthy construction of the community, the generation of a better work atmosphere among editors as well as encouraging users to start editing. Objective Issues addressed Improving the community’s knowledge, and bringing in new editors and users It allows for WMAR to really get to know its community and the work possibilities it offers To use these spaces to find out what the interests of the WMAR community are, and to channel their needs as future generators of activities Getting to know our community’s interests and priorities to incorporate them into WMAR’s activities To create a network of volunteers to support WMAR’s activities during 2016 Getting in touch with new members of the community with whom we can coordinate volunteer activities Establishing our office as meeting place for the community Offering a meeting point for the community, with the aim to generate a sense of identity among its members 2016's actions sum up What's next? WMAR will impulse the Community Support project during 2016 as our response to the needs and requirements of editors in the community. WMAR will work to achieve a pluralistic community of active editors, where users and beginners to editing are welcome. Offline encounters will focus on improving the knowledge of the community and on being a participatory space which favors the inclusion of new members.

Project: support community initiatives

Support of community activities

This activity belongs to our strategic action: Support editors and contributors WMAR will coordinate its activities according to the interests and needs presented by its community. During 2016, WMAR will open spaces for participation where projects put forward by the community can be implemented, as long as these projects are in agreement with the strategic lines and objectives proposed by our organization. WMAR will articulated their activities accordingly to the interests and needs presented by its community. WMAR during 2016 will open spaces of participation to implement projects proposed by the community; always projects that foster the lines and strategic objectives proposed by the organization. The proposed support for WMAR focuses on improving both the content not in quantity but in improving the quality by those involved: The support proposed by Wikimedia Argentina can be translated into the following stages: A survey conducted among editors Call for projects 3 projects supported Training, financial support and institutional support for the development of their projects. From this point of view, we can also speak of the following objectives: To support those projects put forward by community members involve the inclusion of the community in Wikimedia projects. The projects are implemented through a comprehensive support from WMAR Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Supporting community initiatives means institutionalizing activities that the Wikimedia community is already carrying out, facilitating their development and providing the tools necessary for their implementation, with a final impact in the quality of content and results.

Project: Community construction and trainning

Community construction and training

This activity belongs to our strategic action: Support editors and contributors WMAR will continue to focus on the construction of a stable community of users and editors in Argentina. Our main objetive during 2016 will be to retain and consolidate the communities with which WMAR has already worked, and to start implementing organized activities that are matched to the objectives of our projects as well as to the community’s own initiatives. The scalability of WMAR’s projects and programs depends largely on the active participation of the community, not only to frame the projects in an adequate context and reality, but also to be able to implement new initiatives in these contexts. In sum, facilitating for the Wikimedia community to work within their own contexts and according to their needs, is a necessary requirement for us to develop projects at local and regional level in a sustainable way. In this sense, we will work towards the following objectives: To support activity initiatives presented by the communities of Wikimedia Argentina throughout the country. To coordinate activities with the community, which are in agreement with the strategic lines defined by WMAR To broaden the perspective about the possibilities of the Wikimedia community to implement projects at larger scale. To provide specific training focusing on improving the knowledge and making the most of the tools available to the community. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? WMAR will have a clear policy of offering sustained support to its community during 2016, including support for projects in their local context. WMAR does not aim to just being a source of assistance and financial support, we also aim at scaling up of the projects of the community at regional level through sustainable spaces of work.<br< Working on the organization of communities, coordinating and supporting activities and improving the community’s knowledge and skills according to their particular needs, constitutes WMAR’s approach to the sustainability of the Community Support Program Objective Issues addressed To support activity initiatives proposed by the Wikimedia communities in Argentina Stronger compromise from the community and identification with WMAR’s work To coordinate activities with the community which are in agreement with the strategic lines defined by WMAR To achieve better results in Wikimedia projects through the institutional support offered by WMAR To broaden our perspective on the possibilities of the Wikimedia community to implement projects at larger scale To give the Wikimedia community a leading role at local and regional level. To favor the projection of good practices and the sharing of learning experiences throughout the community To offer specific training to allow the community to learn and make the most of the tools offered by WMAR To offer an adequate response to the needs of the community, as an added value required to expand the reach and improve the results of our projects and activities 2016's actions sum up What's next? During 2016 Wikimedia Argentina will focus on the preservation and growth of the existing communities rather than on creation of new ones. WMAR will offer institutional support to the initiatives presented by the community, provided that the initiatives follow the strategic lines of our organization. WMAR will support active editors who want to apply for GRANTs from the Foundation to implement projects which bring learning for the movement and an example of good practices for the organization. Free of charge training will be provided for members of the communities in Argentina, making use of volunteer’s own skills, with the aim to strengthen possible weaknesses. We will emphasize the role of communities as spaces for retention of new editors, reactivation of former editors and recruitment of volunteers.

Project: International cooperation

International cooperation

The presence of the community in Argentina at international level is still a key issue. WMAR will continue to work towards having a stronger presence at international events. We have defined the following objectives for 2016: To improve the presence of the Wikimedia community at international events, supporting individual requests for grants. To participate actively as providers of experiences and results at international events. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Wikimedia Argentina is the only Spanish-speaking chapter who takes part in the annual FDC process. Our proposal is to work in increasing cooperation with the countries from the Hispanic region, becoming a reference source of results, experiences and good practices, through our activities and projects. As an organization that receives general funds, we have the responsibility to give visibility to the work we have been carrying out for Wikipedia in Spanish and its sister projects. We try to be a catalyst for the success of the community and to highlight their achievements. Positioning the Spanish-speaking community as promoter and generator of resources and knowledge is the driving force for WMAR’s actions, together with the rest of chapters and groups of users in the region. Objective Issues addressed To improve the presence of the Wikimedia community at international events, supporting them in their application for grants on an individual basis. To increase the presence of WMAR by giving editors a leading role To participate actively as providers of experiences and results at international events To give visibility to the results and good practices achieved by chapters and groups of users in the Spanish-speaking region, at international events 2016's actions sum up What's next? In 2016, WMAR will continue to take an active role at international events (In 2015 we gave 2 conferences at the WMCO, we also organized the Education pre-conference during Wikimania and gave three more conferences in Mexico). We understand international events as the ideal spaces to highlight our work, our approach and results in the region and in the whole country. We will support the organization of Iberoconf 2016, aiming to maintain its biannual format as long as there are achievements or results to highlight. We will take into consideration the FDC concerns expressed in the Staff Assessment of 2014, reducing our work visits abroad, bearing in mind the current state policies in Argentina and the 35% tax surcharge imposed on any international purchase.

Project: the community as a promoter of free culture

The community as a promoter of free culture

This activity belongs to our strategic action: Support editors and contributors The Wikimedia community in Argentina is the receptor of WMAR projects. During 2016 we also expect for our community to become the promoter of the projects and short-term activities. The lack of knowledge on the concept of free culture continues to be the main and common issue to all the environments we work in, and the difficulties to deal with and respond to every demand, a constant in these environments. In 2016, Wikimedia Argentina wants to give a leading role to the communities as channels and promoters of free culture in their local contexts, as well as giving them specialized spaces where they can assume their role as leaders. The objectives of this project are: To position the community in a leading role, highlighting their experiences and promoting good practices. The community as a transmitter of knowledge and awareness about free culture. The community as a promoter and driving force of WMAR’s programs. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? The Wikimedia community in Argentina must take up an active role, not just as participants in activities, but also as direct promoters and driving actors of these activities Objective Issues addressed To position the community in a leading role, highlighting their experiences and promoting good practices Generating a strong sense of identification and belonging within the community The community as a transmitter of knowledge and awareness about free culture Bringing the community to light as the real protagonists of the movement, as owners and transmitters of knowledge The community as a promoter and driving force of WMAR’s programs Building and supporting an autonomous community who can develop activities in places where WMAR cannot be present, and who promotes WMAR projects as their own 2016's actions sum up What's next? In 2016 Wikimedia Argentina will work to position the community as a promoter and leading actor in the implementation of projects and activities. We will emphasize the active role of the community as a creator and owner of knowledge in relation to Wikimedia projects. We will collect and give visibility to the good practices carried out by the Wikimedia community as learning experiences for the global community.

Project: Outreach and content

Outreach and content

Wikimedia Argentina’s objective for 2016 is to strengthen the Community Support Program, establishing a sustainable base for its development. The construction of a broad-based community and the appropriation by the community of the activities and projects impulsed by WMAR, requires support not only in terms of staff, but also in terms of material, which should be produced according to their needs and to the work guidelines established by the organization for its programs and projects. In line with the above, our main objectives are: To produce learning guides about Wikimedia and Wikimedia Argentina’s projects. To provide the community with relevant material, according to their specific needs for the implementation of Wikimedia’s projects. Why using this strategy? Which issues does it address? Wikimedia Argentina understands that coordinating activities through the community requires not only from community member’s knowledge and good will, but also from support material, implementation guides and learning guides, in order to achieve the results and impact expected. Objective Issues addressed To produce learning guides about Wikimedia and Wikimedia Argentina’s projects Standardizing the work that can be carried out by different communities or individuals. Defining the objectives of each activity clearly, and giving precise guidelines on how to implement actions Provide materials that meets the need of the community Communicational support the work done by communities through supporting materials appropriate to their context and needs identified. Generate user-friendly materials 2016's actions sum up What's next? Wikimedia Argentina will produce at least 4 activity guides during 2016. These guides will be used as opportunities for learning for the community and at regional level. The purpose of the guides is to standardize the work carried out by Wikimedia Argentina with the different communities, allowing for better coordination, responding to their needs, promoting participation and establishing the results and impact expected for each of the actions in a clear and structured manner. The activity and learning guides will be complemented with merchandising items according to the community’s needs

Iberocoop: learnings, results and intentions

Iberocoop: learnings, results and intentions

Wikimedia Argentina will continue to support Iberocoop initatiatives and projects. However 2015 has been a year where we could arrive at the conclusion, first, that the different size and growth of the chapters and user groups present between themselves a capacity gap that makes it very difficult to effectively comply with join activities at certain levels, or ultimately show different levels of commitment to the movement that have routinely blocked achieving planned results for joint activities. Wikimedia Argentina as an organization remains deeply committed with helping develop the Wikimedia movement in the region, but we will re-focus our programmatic efforts to maximize results with other sister organizations we have had success working with over the past years. For that reason during 2016 we will strengthen bi-national, tri-national or country-specific projects with chapters that are doing a great job in terms of results. In fact, lack of results has been one of the reasons for discussion within Iberocoop during 2015 and behind the decision to suspend or postpone Iberoconf 2015. We did not consider responsible to organize the annual meeting again given the lack of results from the last meeting we hosted in Buenos Aires. Despite the slow progress of Iberocoop, Wikimedia Argentina considers very remarkable the work that we have done with other Wikimedia affiliates in the region. In this regard we emphasize the following: In March 2015, we lauched the first editing contests for the month of the women with +400 new articles created in the Spanisg Wikipedia. Wikimedia Argentina organized simultaneous edit-a-thons with Wikimedia Chile, Wikimedia Bolivia and Wikimedia Uruguay along with the Spanish cultural centers in Latin America. Wikimedia Argentina is organizing along with Wikimedia Chile, our first trans-Andean edit-a-thon that will take place in Mendoza, Argentina, in October this year. Wikimedia Chile, Wikimedia Argentina, Wikimedia Mexico, Wikimedia España and Wikimedia Italia have shared best practices and human resources to improve their results and needs. Wikimedia Argentina has launched its monthly editing challenges involving all Iberocoop members and countries. So far, just Wikimedia Argentina and Colombia users group have proposed new challenges to be approach in the future.

Iberocoop's targets 2016

Wikimedia Argentina will intensify its work with the chapters and user groups committed to results.

• Wikimedia Argentina will continue working with Wikimedia México, Wikimedia Chile, Wikimedia Italia and Wikimedia España.
• At least one project during 2016 organized with all these four affiliates that would mean a significant increase of content in the Spanish Wikipedia (it could be a women editing contest again or a new proposal)
• Wikimedia Argentina will continue launching, every two months, our initative of editing challenges, involving all the Iberocoop communities and countries, amounting for at least five (5) challenges from March to November that would mean an increase of at least 1500 articles
• Wikimedia Argentina will launch during 2016 a regional survey in Latin America and Spain together with other Iberocoop members to have a closer look to editors’ interests and needs.

Wikimedia Argentina will better share resources, experiences, learnings and practices with the Iberocoop network.

• Wikimedia Argentina will share its learnings and practices by designing better and new material that will be able to be used by Iberocoop.
• Wikimedia Argentina will continue sharing resources with the Iberocoop movement (mostly human resources)
• After a year of steady work , Wikimedia Argentina will share their tutorials , guides, manuals of organizing events and projects and any other material designed as long as its results and learnigns with the movement.
• Wikimedia Argentina will share its learning and will help in anything that would need the next Iberoconf organizer.

Wikimedia Argentina will increase face to face meetings with Iberocoop’s chapters and users groups as part of its development and learning

• During 2016, at least 3 face to face meetings will be organized by WMAR and other Iberocoop’s chapters or user groups to approach their same needs by building a mentoring space for learning and improving skills.

Staff and contractors: upcoming year's annual plan

1. Please describe your organization's staffing plan or strategy here, or provide a link to your organization's staffing plan or organogram.

The structure of our Association is composed as following:

• The General Assembly of Members, with regular meetings every year.
• A Board of Trustees composed by 9 elected members (2 alternative Board members are available in case of vacancy). It is in charge of the strategy of the Association, its overall administration, revision of its projects and supervision of the staff's performance.
• An audit commission, composed by 3 members, and responsible for the financial accountability of the Association.
• The staff, composed by the Executive Director (ED), the Communication Officer (CO) the Education Coordination (EC) and the Administration Manager (AM). Dedicated to the implementation of programs and projects, reportability and day-to-day administration of the Association.

Programs are designed and carried out by the staff, with permanent communication with the President of the Board and periodical reports to the rest of its members, who are ultimately responsible of the implementation of the initiatives proposed for the year. Some activities are led by Association members and volunteers, but they must report to the ED.

2. List of staff by department or function.

You can use this table (or substitute your own list) to show us the number of FTEs (fulltime equivalents) for each department or function, where one person working at 100% time would be counted as 1.0. We need this information about the total number of staff (FTEs) you will have hired by the end of the current funding period, and staff you will have hired by the end of the proposed funding period.

Revenues: upcoming year's annual plan

1. Does your organization plan to draw on its operating reserves during the upcoming funding period to support its expenses? If so, please provide the amount you intend to draw from your reserves here. This should not be included as revenue in the table below.

The reserves of WMAR are in argentine pesos. As it was informed in the impact report 2014, our current reserves are the amount of AR$336.530,65 which is equivalent to three months of staffcosts. This amount of money have been generated because of the difference between the currency exchange rate at the moment of requesting for de annual grant 2014 and the real one at the moment of receive it (peso argentino has devaluated in January 2014).

Unless we have to incur in extraordinary expenses until the grant for 2016 is finally delivered, we are not expected to use this reserves during the current period, neither for the upcoming year.

2. Please use this table to list your organization's anticipated revenues (income, or the amount your organization is bringing in) by revenue source (where the revenue is coming from) in the upcoming funding period (e.g. 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016). Use the status column to show if this funding is already guaranteed, if you are in the process of requesting funding, or if you are planning to request funding at a later time. Please feel free to include in-kind donations and resources in this table, as applicable, but use the status column to show that they are in-kind resources.

Table 5

Anticipated revenues for the upcoming funding period
Revenue source	Currency requested	US dollars	Status (e.g. guaranteed, application)
FDC process	USD 241.614,00	USD 241.614,00	requested
Membership fees	USD 600,00	USD 600,00	guaranteed
Total revenues (should equal the sum of the rows):	USD 242.214,00	USD 242.214,00	-

Table 5 notes: If your organization has significant funding other than FDC funds, please note how those funds will be used.

Operating reserves: upcoming year's annual plan

Please note that there is a policy that places restrictions on how much FDC funding your organization can use to build its operating reserves. If you would like to use FDC funding to for your organization's reserves, you must note that here. You will not be able to decide to allocate FDC funding from this grant to your reserves at a later date.

1. How much does your organization plan to have in operating reserves by the end of the current funding period?

We are planning to have the amount reported above: AR$336.530,65 or USD 35.725 (Exchange Rate: AR$9,42 = USD 1. http://www.bna.com.ar/). This amount is the equivalent to three months of basic staffcosts.

2. How much does your organization plan to have in operating reserves by the end of the upcoming funding period?

It will depends on the final Grant delivered from the Foundation and FDC. If the amount requested in this Grant is finally allocated, we are expecting to hold the same level of reserves. As in Argentina exists a rate of 25%-30% of annual inflation, the amount of reserves for the upcoming period in pesos argentinos are expected to be a 25%-30% higher: AR$420.663. As also, there exists daily davaluation of the argentina peso, the amount in dollars would increase up to USD 40.063 (Estimated exchange rate for December 2016: AR$10,5=USD 1).

3. If your organization plans to use FDC funding to increase your reserves in the upcoming funding period, how much FDC funding will your organization use to build reserves?

As we reported above, we plan to hold the same level of reserves (fixing the amount on the staffcost variable: 3 months).

Expenses: upcoming year's annual plan

1. Expenses by program (excludes staff and operations).

Program expenses are the costs associated specifically with your organization's programs. These costs do not include operating expenses or staff salaries, which will be described in separate tables. For example, program expenses may be the costs of an event, the costs of outreach materials specific to a program, budgets for microgrants and reimbursements, or technical costs associated with specific programs. The programs listed in this table should correspond to the programs you have listed in the programs section of this proposal form.
