Proposal by Amical Wikimedia to support its annual plan with ~US$108,000.

Program focus: Community, GLAM, Education, Community-suggested (includes photo contests)

On 2015 we want to keep a plan focused on content and outcomes on the Wikimedia projects, and builds on past successes, by keeping our community-driven model marked by our 2014-2018 strategic plan. Our main focus of partnerships will be Educational Sector and GLAM (Specially Libraries), because we have remarked that it is the kind of partnership that is mid-term sustainable and give both sides best return of our efforts investment (new editors, specific quality content, territorial reach and increase of readers)

Amical wants to be the bridge between those cultural and social agents and Wikimedia projects by empowering key members of both communities with technical and programmatic skills. We believe in autosustenaible projects, so we help people to become autonomous and regular contributors, so they are able not only to collaborate with Wikimedia projects but also to start their own activities to engage new people. The projects, then, become viral, being replicated by different organizations with shared principles, so they are more efficient and require less Amical's resources.

We also try to keep very close to the active community of Wikimedia projects editors, so we regularly send projects calls and transform community's most voted proposals into our programmatic activities. This way we ensure good levels of volunteer participation, not only with Amical member but with the whole Catalan community of editors.

If you need to review the edit instructions you will find them in the editintro.

Community engagement

This section provides the FDC an overview of your organization's work with volunteers and online contributors.

1. Which Wikimedia community or communities does your organization work with most closely, and which online Wikimedia project or projects does your organization's work support?

• All existing Catalan language Wikimedia Projects and also multilingual projects like Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Also focus on Catalan culture content in non Catalan language projects (e.g. English Wikipedia)

2. How does your organization know what community members / contributors to online projects need or want? Does your organization conduct needs assessments? How else does your organization consult the contributors and volunteers most involved with its work?

We do open calls to community of editors so they can propose projects. The same community votes the most interesting projects and then we adapt their proposals into an anual program proposal, which is reviewed and approved by the community before formally applying for it. We also do quarterly open evaluations of Amical's work with all the community so anyone can check/apply/comment if the organization is doing what is expected to. We also maintain some chat meetings every year where we can ask editors to advice us. Those meetings are open to all Catalan Wikimedia Projects users, not only to Amical members.

Besides the regular quarterly evalulation, we have a key person whose specifical role is getting feedback and proposals from the community and asking the Association to start/keep/stop related projects. With this system community can formally propose ideas/projects, evaluate them regularly while ongoing or once done and also we assure that the projects that we do have support by the community.

We are planning to include in the annual meeting (open to both members and user editors) an extra space where people can evaluate our work and discuss the project scopes.

Organization planning and reports

Please provide links to your organization’s planning documents and reports. All of these documents are required unless otherwise indicated.

Your organization's strategic planning documents, past reports, and current annual planning documents, are essential to our understanding of your organization's proposal.

Programs: upcoming year's annual plan

This section is about your organization's programs. A program is a group of activities that share the same objectives. Please do not include information about your organization's operating activities in this section. You are welcome to provide information about activities like administration, staff and board training, fundraising, governance, and internal IT in another section of this proposal form or in a supplementary document. Please answer all four questions for each program.

Community

Please note that all grantees will be asked to report on the global metrics, so please review them and keep them in mind as you design your programs, and then track and measure the impact of your programs.

1. A program is a group of of activities that share the same objectives. Please share the goal of the program, and then describe the objectives that the activities in this program share.

• The goal of Community program is to ensure members engagement and committing while taking care of emotional welfare of everybody. We believe people will work better if they feel the project as part of them and they feel appreciated and valued by other members. We want to hear everyone's voice and think about ways to share ideas and best practices to improve Amical's work. This program seeks to find the places to make this exchange available. It also aims to empower users with the techniques and principles that rule Amical projects so they can become more active in external outreach and in internal project management.

2. How do your program objectives focus on the Wikimedia strategic priorities?

• Wikimedia strategic priorities are to increase community participation and motivation, and so are the Amical ones.

3. Please list the specific, measurable, timebound targets you plan to achieve through this program. Please include both qualitative targets and quantitative targets.

• We will hold our 1 annual meeting (Viquitrobada). Outputs, 50-75 people can share their experiences as users and Amical members and we improve team building and commitment within the project. Sharing knowledge, questions and experiences IRL is a great experience.
• We will start every project which had been approved by enough members, keeping appart some funds for impossible-to-program-in-advance ideas
• We will have 2 formative seminars to empower our members and listen to their needs using a questionnaire and tracking their evolution (projects done/managed/joined) within Amical's main tracks.
• We will keep acknowledging the value of 6-9 of our members by deeply interviewing them in our blog, like done in 2014.
• We will follow closely each volunteer driven activity (with specific feedback) to ensure that the project leader have the best time as possible.
• We will offer community grants to partially fund community members travel to international events like Wikimania, Hackathon, Chapters meetings et al.

4. Please describe how your program activities will lead to the results you are planning, or describe or link to a logic model for your program.

• The personal annual meeting is a key date in our calendar, because of the quantity of people gathered and the amount of new knowledge gained in the debates, round tables and presentations, and follow up tasks after the event. We define ourselves as a volunteer organization, and that means not only we have people offering free work but a way to think about every activity, in which community decides the direction, priorities and takes a leading role in execution of each project. Every member has many channels to make his or her voice heard.

Please provide any additional information about this program that is important to our understanding of this program. You may include timelines, tables, or charts associated with your program's progress, or share how this program will contribute more broadly to movement learning.

• Community engagement is one of the five pillars that lead our strategic plan. Due to the relative small size of the community (especially related to the almost infinite work to be done), we value every member as a treasure and this special care is already in our name ("Amical" derives from "friend" in Catalan)
• Check out these blog posts on deep interviews to regular members about their projects: [2], [3] [4], [5] and many more.
• 50% of Amical's members have participated or co-organized an activity during 2014. We believe this is a ratio that validates our community project, empowering users to become more active. 40% of more active users on Catalan Wikipedia are active Amical members.

GLAM

Please note that all grantees will be asked to report on the global metrics, so please review them and keep them in mind as you design your programs, and then track and measure the impact of your programs.

1. A program is a group of of activities that share the same objectives. Please share the goal of the program, and then describe the objectives that the activities in this program share.

Our GLAM program wants to keep reaching the cultural sector, specially focusing in our collaboration with the libraries networks, which we have targeted as one of most committed to public service. We will combine projects for Wikipedia and its sister projects (specially Wikisource) and we will rely on the central role of libraries in each town to reach different communities of people interested in knowledge. They will act as active agents spreading our values and projects, because they will self-organise several projects, so we can reach more people.

For museums, we propose a double approach. On the one hand we will continue and start projects which have the museum as the centre of a network of different educational and cultural agents, so they add value to the whole program. On the other hand, we believe in the WiR model because it allows us to create strong bonds with the GLAM partner, which go beyond the effects of a single act as an isolated editathon. Those residents come from community and replicate our model (already validated from experience of previous years) in different local institutions, helped by several online volunteers.

Other projects like Archives collaboration, Commons upload of content from GLAMs and Wikiars are included in this track, too.

2. How do your program objectives focus on the Wikimedia strategic priorities?

It will hopefully increase the reach of Wikimedia projects. It will also help to increase the number of active editors and available content. The library project is placed in the middle of our gender gap strategy, as the majority of librarians are women and they serve the whole population, diverse in terms of gender, race, background and age. We are fighting the inner bias of male editors by attracting new users in the several initiatives carried by libraries.

With the Wikipedian - in - residence models adopted mainly by museums we can also help to balance our presence in the whole Catalan-speaking area, so we will naturally increase the diversity of our editors and partners. The museum curators and experts can add quality content to Wikimedia projects and attract new users from their communities.

3. Please list the specific, measurable, timebound targets you plan to achieve through this program. Please include both qualitative targets and quantitative targets.

• Increase the number of Catalan speaking public libraries active on Wikipedia from 100 to 130, doing Wikipedia and GLAMwiki workshops in Regional Public Library central branches and welcoming experienced libraries in teaching new librarians (Adopt a Library model)
• Give a focus on non Barcelona-metropolitan areas GLAM to increase our presence on Catalan Speaking territories, reaching at least 10 new GLAMs.
• 10 public libraries self-organizing wiki-related activities and programs
• 5 Museums or GLAMs using the Wikipedian in Residence model.
• 10 Commited libraries will test a "small sister" libraries project, where the experienced library will be helping new glamwiki librarians getting into wiki universe.

4. Please describe how your program activities will lead to the results you are planning, or describe or link to a logic model for your program.

• Using a Kick-off and follow up system, where the employee does the real life workshop or program kick-off and a group of volunteers do the follow up to directly engage with librarians.
• Empowering volunteers to become more active with their local libraries
• Adding "wiki layers" to already existing national libraries shared programs (programes or activities shared by many libraries with a same goal during some weeks.)

Please provide any additional information about this program that is important to our understanding of this program. You may include timelines, tables, or charts associated with your program's progress, or share how this program will contribute more broadly to movement learning.

• List of Catalan Public Libraries active on Wikimedia projects, including university, private, heritage and public networks.

Education

Please note that all grantees will be asked to report on the global metrics, so please review them and keep them in mind as you design your programs, and then track and measure the impact of your programs.

1. A program is a group of of activities that share the same objectives. Please share the goal of the program, and then describe the objectives that the activities in this program share.

• Education Program wants to show the teaching potential of Wikimedia projects by introducing them to university professors. They will include Wikimedia editing as a part of their course projects and they will be encouraged to become active editors themselves. We will work closely with pedagogical departments of museums and other several cultural partners to reach teachers and educators in different sectors (informal education and secondary schools mainly). They will be trained in wikimedia editing and principles so they can teach them to younger pupils.

2. How do your program objectives focus on the Wikimedia strategic priorities?

• This program fits with different strategic priorities. First of all it will increase number of active editors and content, because students will be asked to improve or create articles and upload media to fulfill the course requirements. It will also improve the overall quality of the projects, since the university teachers are the main experts in their own field of research and knowledge, so they will guarantee the quality of the work done by students (or by themselves). Finally, it will help the gender gap strategy because we address to some subjects where are more women than men enrolled. We will reach the younger generations, too, ensuring the fresh vision of new editors.

3. Please list the specific, measurable, timebound targets you plan to achieve through this program. Please include both qualitative targets and quantitative targets.

• Having an ongoing eduwiki project in at least 75% of the Universities of the Vives Network (Network of Catalan Speaking Libraries). We will reach it scheduling and presenting eduwiki projects in all of the Universities and doing follow ups with the interested teachers or faculty members.
• 30 university classrooms collaborating with Wikipedia from different knowledge areas, so we can cover the biggest holes in information we may have
• Recollecting specific feedback about our new education portal so we can improve it as a tool to smooth the path to Wikimedia projects for teachers, professors and students.

4. Please describe how your program activities will lead to the results you are planning, or describe or link to a logic model for your program.

The amount of students enrolled will naturally help to increase articles in Wikimedia projects and, due to the fact that they are being evaluated by their contributions as a part of their courses, they will pay attention to rules and quality requirements. Those are being reinforced by their professor supervision, which adds the expertise of each branch of knowledge. We are addressing to several courses where most students are women, so the ratio male/female editors will be more balanced.

Please provide any additional information about this program that is important to our understanding of this program. You may include timelines, tables, or charts associated with your program's progress, or share how this program will contribute more broadly to movement learning.

• Educational projects with universities brings new users, commit active editors (we use personalized online mentorship models), better content to the wiki projects
• We have created a portal devoted to teachers and students: [6].

Community suggested, other partnerships and innovation projects

Please note that all grantees will be asked to report on the global metrics, so please review them and keep them in mind as you design your programs, and then track and measure the impact of your programs.

1. A program is a group of of activities that share the same objectives. Please share the goal of the program, and then describe the objectives that the activities in this program share.

There are some projects that are reunited in our Other Partnerships programs, like contests and editathons with institutions. Coordination of formative actions to those institutions are also included in this track. We want to make an specific campaign to reach some targets not wiki-orientated and try to change their mind.

We also desire to be more involved in technical community, so we would like to push up the newly created technical group promoting formative actions, following closely the France Hackathon and implementing community demands (for example functionalities for bots).

After some FDC suggestions, we will have some budget dedicated to those unexpected projects that may arise from community during the year or to help editors to add their work to international projects lead by other chapters, so we can increase the multilingual cooperation.

2. How do your program objectives focus on the Wikimedia strategic priorities?

It will help to increase the number of readers and improve the general perception of Wikimedia projects, while helping our programs to run smoothly. We will have an special look to innovative suggestions coming from Amical members so we can come up with new ideas to attract new users. We will focus on technical issues (bots, hacking) as regular activities of the newly created technical group.

3. Please list the specific, measurable, timebound targets you plan to achieve through this program. Please include both qualitative targets and quantitative targets.

• 1 new edition of Wiki Loves Earth 2015
• 1 new edition of Wiki Loves Monuments 2015 (adapted version)
• "Navega en català" project
• 1 international challenge with editors from as many wikis as possible

4. Please describe how your program activities will lead to the results you are planning, or describe or link to a logic model for your program.

If we can empower the technical group, it will lead new projects or actions which can help Wikimedia projects as a whole, not only their Catalan version. We think that creating a strong network with active editors from other wikis can teach us a lot and it also may help to multilingual advocacy voices to be heard.

Please provide any additional information about this program that is important to our understanding of this program. You may include timelines, tables, or charts associated with your program's progress, or share how this program will contribute more broadly to movement learning.

Table 8 notes:

DESCRIPTION SUBJECT TO CHANGE: During 2014-2015 Round 1 we will be launching a multi-year funding pilot program where APG applicants can request a two-year funding commitment from the FDC. Participating organizations will provide the FDC with information about milestones for two-year programs during the next year's proposal cycle (2015-2016 Round 1), as well as with their annual plans and budgets for the second year.
