Switzerland report

Swiss GLAM Programme

Landesmuseum Zürich

The original stone can be seen at the Swiss National Museum in Zurich and - of course - here on Commons. The one-Day-Editathon took place next to the library of the museum where historical material could be used. In the breaks the balcony was open to have a drink and discuss the progress. The museum is located next to the central station in Zurich which makes it convenient for people to travel. There are several huge exhibitions on historical subjects, so always a lot to see and to write about as the gravestone of Lucius Aelius Urbicus in the Landesmuseum Zürich.

FemNetzCon

This year the FemNetz GetTogether for the Germanspeaking area took place at the Museum for Arts and Crafts in Hamburg, Germany. The first day the focus was on artificial intelligence on how it shapes our queer and feminist future. Find more informations also on the whole program here. Besides several workshops on language for making women more visible and on how to establish more care in the Wiki projects Wikipedians were exchanging their projects throughout the last year and inviting each other for future projects.

Wikipedia Day in Berne

The idea for the day was to get the different groups together for networking and exchanging their ideas. We had some partner organizations there as the Swiss National Library, Opendata and OpenGLAM, Open Street Map, the education game Wikeys and FATart. As more younger people are needed as well as the engagement of more women several projects were shown as encouragement. Besides the winners of the Wiki Science Competition were presented. Wikimedians were actively connecting eachother, playing games as Wikeys, printing their own money for success and exercising solidarity.
