Outreach. The Wikimedia way.


This wiki serves as a home for several outreach and collaboration initiatives. It's a bookshelf, a collection of best practices, and a coordination point for any activity that is directed to the public, to cultural institutions, or to universities.

Our mission is to recruit and support new Wikimedians and to build strong relationships with cultural and educational institutions. We need your help in making this collaborative platform bigger, better, and more useful. There's plenty to do.
