Other activities

Wikimedia Ukraine promotes creation and distribution of free knowledge, primarily through Wikimedia projects. To achieve it, we:

• organize wiki-workshops and teach everyone how to edit Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects;
• organize contests for writing articles on Wikipedia;
• arrange photo contests for free images (Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves Earth and others), as well as exhibitions of these contests' winners;
• establish and support Wikipedia Educational Program in educational institutions;
• encourage work on GLAM wiki-projects (galleries, libraries, archives, museums);
• support music projects to create free records;
• arrange annual Wikiconference for Wikimedians from all over the country;
• advocate for amending Ukrainian legislation in order to assist in the distribution of free knowledge (for more information, visit freepanorama.org.ua);
• provide support to wiki-community: promote photo and regional history wiki-expeditions to collect material for the improvement and illustration of Wikipedia articles, provide scholarships for attending training sessions, support thematic weeks in Ukrainian Wikipedia etc.;
• organize events for foreign Wikimedians (e.g. CEEM-2014, CEEM-2018) & send Ukrainian participants to learn foreign colleagues’ experience.

We can propose

Wikimedia Ukraine helps implement ideas, both to its members and to other people. We can provide you with:

• Volunteers who will organize an event connected with Wikimedia projects; teach how to edit Wikipedia, the concept of free licenses & why you cannot distribute someone else’s photos without permission;
• Assistance in organization of a thematic week or article contest on Wikipedia or other wiki-projects;
• Informational support, search for like-minded people who can help you (you can also look for them at Wikipedia Village Pump and social media), distribution of information on this website and our blog, through press announces and press conferences;

• Microgrants (e.g. for taking photos of the events or purchasing books) & scholarships for attending training sessions, as well as consultations on applying for individual grants from Wikimedia Foundation;
• Photography equipment, printer, working place with Internet access (should be discussed in advance);
• Assistance with official requests to government institutions (Wikimedia Ukraine is a legal entity, it can provide an official letter with a chair’s signature and a stamp);
• Bank account (when it comes to sponsors who can support financially).

If you are interested in our ideas and projects or if Wikimedia Ukraine can help you, please reach out to us. You can contact us through Community Portal, on the Ideas page, or by email to info@wikimedia.org.ua.
