Klára Joklová (WMCZ)
I live in Prague and I have been a member and Executive Director of Wikimedia Czech Republic since March 2018. I have been a member of the CEE Hub steering committee since the CEE Meeting 2022 and have long been an active member of the CEE community. I am one of the initiators of the CEE Youth group.
In Wikimedia Czech Republic, we run three main programs - EDUcational Programs, Programs for Community and Programs for Partnerships.
I studied social policy and social work and I used to work as a program manager and director at different Czech NGOs and also at the Czech Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.

We would like to showcase the National Library of the Czech Republic as a strategic partner of Wikimedia CZ and demonstrate how The collaboration of Open can function in practice and what path we have walked together so far. Year ago we signed a Memorandum of cooperation. But there have been many small single yet important steps taken in the previous six years which lead to that official act. These steps were taken by individuals, staff & volunteers on both sides and have blossomed into multifaceted collaborations and resulted into one of the strongest Wikimedians in Residence team.
Based on the example of building the CEE Hub, how can other regional and thematic networks learn from this example and how could their approaches to building their networks look like within the existing Wikimedia framework?
Join us for an afternoon of fast-paced, high-impact talks on topics that inspire. Hosted by Sherry Antoine, with guest host Andrew Lih and a welcome from Program Lead Wojciech Pędzich.

Promoting Wikimedia and Wikipedia editing among our main target groups in educational programmes has been sometimes more and sometimes less successful. Until we open up to elaborate on a specific area - media literacy.
In that moment our activities and programming became an answer for the diverse set of needs among our partners and participants. And through that channel we found a common language and became an important stakeholder in the field of media literacy education and lifelong learning within the country.
We have the perfect playground available, where we can provide real time experiences on some of the phenomena.
