The project is intended to start from September 1 - November 15 2023.

Timeline for Movement Charter Translation and Feedback Process

Date	Activity

10 October - 10 November	We plan to gather feedback from the Kashmiri language community through online meetings, which will include two group sessions and one-on-one meetings as needed. The meeting format will be flexible to accommodate community members' availability.
10 November - 15 November	Publishing the feedback collected from the meetings on Meta-Wiki.

Where will your project activities be happening?

The activities will be mainly happening online.

Are you collaborating with other communities or affiliates on this project? Please provide details of how partners intend to work together to achieve the project goal.

As the project lead, I will take on most of the responsibilities, including translation and reporting on Meta. However, I recognize the value of collaboration and coordination with other MC Ambassadors. I will actively seek lessons and insights from other Ambassadors to enhance the project's coordination and effectiveness. By leveraging the knowledge and experiences of fellow Ambassadors, we can ensure a smoother and more successful implementation of the project.

What specific challenge will your project be aiming to solve? And what opportunities do you plan to take advantage of to solve the problem?

Since Movement Charter will be a movement wide governing document and will be applicable on all from small communities to large communities, This project aims to bridge the gap between our community and the Movement Charter by ensuring its accessibility and fostering community involvement and collection of feedback on the drafts. The primary focus will be on translating the MC content and taking the feedback about these drafts, which will be reported on Meta.

Does this project aim to apply one of the examples shared in the call for grants and if so which one?

This project is aligned with the MC Ambassador's Grant Program.

Additional information

If your activities include community discussions, what is your plan for ensuring that the conversations are productive? Provide a link to a Friendly Space Policy or UCoC that will be implemented to support these discussions.

We will be implementing the Friendly space policies for this project.

If your activities include the use of paid online tools, please describe what tools these are and how you intend to use them.

We will mostly be using Zoom or G-Meet to organize meetings with the community.

Do your activities include the translation of materials, and if so, in what languages will the translation be done? Please include details of those responsible for making the translations.

The translation will be done in Kashmiri Language by User:511KeV

Are there any other details you would like to share? Consider providing rationale, research or community discussion outputs, and any other similar information, that will give more context on your proposed project.

In the previous phase we experimented the one to one session for collecting back & also distributed the copies of translations to non wikimedians to validate Kashmiri translations for redability, it turned very effective. We hope apply the learnings from previous phase in this project as well.

Outcomes

After your activities are complete, we would like to understand the draft implementation plan for your community. You will be required to prepare a document detailing this plan around a movement strategy initiative. This report can be prepared through Meta-wiki using the Share your results button on this page. The report can be prepared in your language, and is not required to be written in English.

In this report, you will be asked to:

• Provide a link to the draft implementation plan document or Wikimedia page
• Describe what activities supported the development of the plan
• Describe how and where you have communicated your plan to relevant communities.
• Report on how your funding was spent

Your draft implementation plan document should address the following questions clearly:

• What movement strategy initiative or goal are you addressing?
• What activities will you be doing to address that initiative?
• What do you expect will happen as a result of your activities? How do those outcomes address the movement strategy initiative?
• How will you measure or evaluate your activities? What tools or methods will you use to evaluate your activities?

To create a draft implementation plan, we recommend the use of a logic model, which will help you and your team think about goals, activities, outcomes, and other factors in an organized way. Please refer the following resources to develop a logic model:

• Overview of logic models on Meta-wiki
• Example logic models for reference for other movement activities (such as partnerships and edit-a-thons)
• Blank logic model template on Google Drive

Please confirm below that you will be able to prepare a draft implementation plan document by the end of your grant:
