Empowering innovation and flexibility: The Future of GLAM Wiki
Gorana Gomirac (VMRS)

Let's explore the future of GLAM-Wikimedia collaborations in this engaging session. This session will explore innovative approaches to the digital world of cultural heritage, technology, and collaboration in the GLAM sector. We will go into strategies for enhancing diversity and inclusion, as well as measuring the impact of these collaborations. We will talk about how GLAM institutions and Wikimedia are working together to empower communities and break down barriers to knowledge.

Let’s Connect Open Connectathon: Relax and lets connect together!
BUKOLA JAMES, Jessica Stephenson, Chinmayee Mishra, Gorana Gomirac (VMRS)

Join us for 40 minutes of fun questions and interactions.
Why? Because, sometimes we just want to relax and get to know people, as people. Sometimes this is hard in such a a big conference. We also came for a laugh. And who knows, this brief and spontaneous interaction with others may lead to more connections in the Wikimedia Movement.

Let’s Connect Learning Clinic: Keeping volunteers onboard - how to profile, match and motivate volunteers
BUKOLA JAMES, Jessica Stephenson, Jan-Bart de Vreede, Gorana Gomirac (VMRS)

The Wikimedia movement relies on volunteers. Not only is it a hard task to increase the number of new volunteers, it is an even bigger challenge to keep those volunteers involved.
This interactive workshop is dedicated to understanding volunteer profiles based on motivations, how we match these to different types of volunteering activities, and how to make sure we support volunteers so they are not demotivated.
