WikiCon Brasil 2022/About
Local | Organization | Visual identity | Releases and Media Impact |
WikiCon is a Wikimedia conference aimed at bringing together and strengthening Wikimedia communities. In 2022, Brazil will host the first WikiCon held by and for the Brazilian community. We hope that the event will be a platform to connect and consolidate bonds between our multifaceted community through discussion circles, workshops and learning sharing.
Our goal is to strengthen the Brazilian community spread across the country and support the dissemination of Wikimedia Foundation projects in the country. We believe that local cooperation and a national vision are necessary at this particular moment in which the community finds itself. We intend to continue to discuss strategies aligned with Movement Strategy 2030, among other relevant topics, such as community diversity and sustainability.
We hope not only to bring together the Wikimedia community in its broadest sense, especially people and organizations that are already involved in Wikimedia projects, but also to reach organizations that may be interested in knowing and contributing in various ways to the evolution of the Brazilian community.
