Detailed agenda

Here is a recommended agenda for the discussion. While you may choose to run the conversation differently, this has been designed for your use.

While this is designed to run for four weeks, groups can shorten the discussion timeline as needed, as long as a summary of statements is posted.

Schritt Activity / Prompts for online discussion
Schritt 1

(week 1)

First posting - Introduction and briefing
  • Introduce yourself and share the purpose of discussion. Encourage the group to read the strategy brief and share initial thoughts and add the text:
    • We will be working together to discuss the overall direction of the movement and generate an initial list of major themes and their meanings.
    • We will start by reading the Strategy Brief and discussing it.
    • What does everyone find most interesting or meaningful to the future of Wikimedia?
Schritt 2

(week 2)

Second posting - Main discussion on our future direction
  • Post the discussion prompt:
    • What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?
      • Some potential other ways to think about this question are:
        • What will guide our work together over the next 15 years?
        • What impact or change do we want to have on the world over the next 15 years?
        • What is the single most important thing we can do together over the next 15 years?
        • What will unite and inspire us as a movement for the next 15 years?
        • What will accelerate our progress over the next 15 years?
        • What will we be known for in the next 15 years?
Schritt 3

(week 3-4)

Summarize the themes (option for group to summarize together through online collaboration or for discussion coordinator to summarize separately)
  • Identify major ideas from the discussion
  • Write one sentence statement (theme statements) and 1-3 keywords for each major idea
    • Example:
      • Theme statement: We should spread access to knowledge through educational institutions.
      • Keywords: education, access

Post to local project and to meta

  • Meta: If possible, translate your summary into English. If not, please post in your local language to Meta and mark for translation if we do not have a language liaison to translate this for you.
