== Description ==
En 2023/2024, la Maison MONA développe une expertise sur le rayonnement des artistes de l’art public et de leurs œuvres sur les plateformes Wikidata, Wikimédia Commons et Wikipédia grâce à une subvention du Conseil des arts du Canada. Notre mission était alors de créer des pages sur des artistes issu·es de divers groupes minoritaires, dont, entre autres, des créateur·trices visuels œuvrant en région. Dans l’objectif d’aller à la rencontre des artistes, et de susciter des discussions, l’équipe a ainsi animé à l’automne 2024 deux ateliers d’initiation et de contribution à Wikipédia à Sherbrooke et Rimouski. Cette expérience a généré des conversations fructueuses avec le milieu artistique local, nous permettant d’identifier quelques enjeux rencontrés par les artistes des régions, malheureusement victimes d’une montréalisation de l’offre culturelle : le manque de visibilité médiatique afin d’avoir de bonnes sources fiables, et l’absence d’un écosystème de contributeur·trices. 

Afin de pallier, à petite échelle, à ces différentes problématiques, la Maison MONA propose de continuer à offrir des ateliers Wikimédia à des centres d’artistes autogérés situés hors de la métropole. Nos objectifs sont d’approfondir nos connaissances sur les défis rencontrés par les artistes visuels francophones des régions, créer des points de rencontre potentiel pour les nouveaux·elles contributeur·rices, et enfin autonomiser les travailleur·euses culturel·les par le renforcement de la littératie numérique et l’acquisition de compétences spécifiques aux plateformes Wikimédia. 

Ces ateliers s’adressent tant aux employé·e·s des organismes qu’aux artistes, aux chercheur·e·s, aux professionnel·le·s de la culture et au grand public. D’une durée de 3 h, l’activité est composée en deux parties : une présentation générale sur le fonctionnement de l’univers Wikimédia, et particulièrement Wikipédia (environ 1h30) et un atelier pratique de contributions (1h à 1h30 selon le groupe). L’impact immédiat du projet est d'identifier et commencer à bonifier/créer des pages collectivement sur des artistes visuels de la région visitée. 

Pour cette prochaine saison de la Maison MONA en région, nous avons identifié l’Outaouais (Gatineau) et l’Estrie (Granby) comme deux potentiels arrêts, en raison de leurs centres d’artistes dynamiques, et des nombreux artistes qui y résident.

Nombre de participants : 16 (8 à l’Atelier Silex et 8 à Est-Nord-Est)
Le nombre de nouveuax-elles contributeur-ices : 15

Réflexion :

Vu que cet atelier était avant tout une formation d’initiation à trois plateformes (Wikidata, Wikipédia et Wikimedia Commons), le principal résultat fut d’améliorer la littératie d’acteur·rices du milieu artistique régional. Le volet pratique de l’atelier, axé principalement sur Wikidata, a résulté à une quinzaine de nouveaux éléments sur des artistes et des organismes des Chaudières-Appalaches et de la Mauricie.

Nous sommes très satisfaites de la collaboration avec les centres d’artistes et des discussions qui ont eu lieu. Notre nouvelle formation, axée sur les trois plateformes, et plus seulement sur Wikipédia, a reçu un bel accueil.

Le principal défi est le manque de temps pour couvrir tous les enjeux liés aux arts visuels sur les plateformes Wikimédia. Un programme de formation continue aux trois plateformes serait l’idéal pour le futur

The Wiki Lunch and Learn is a knowledge-sharing event designed to increase awareness and understanding of Wikimedia projects among staff and institutional stakeholders at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal. The session aims to strengthen institutional engagement with open knowledge initiatives while encouraging greater participation in Wikimedia platforms and the broader open-access movement.

Through presentations and discussions, participants will be introduced to key Wikimedia projects and explore how these platforms can support research, documentation, public engagement, and knowledge dissemination. The event will cover important topics including open licensing, copyright considerations, Freedom of Panorama, and successful content partnership models from Africa and other regions of the world.

The Wiki Lunch and Learn will also serve as a platform for initiating conversations around openness within the cultural heritage sector, highlighting the role that galleries, libraries, archives, and museums can play in making knowledge more accessible to the public. By fostering dialogue on open access and collaborative partnerships, the event seeks to encourage greater institutional participation in preserving and sharing cultural heritage through Wikimedia projects and other open knowledge platforms.
The Wiki Lunch and Learn will take place on 25 June 2026 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The two-hour session will provide an interactive learning environment where participants can engage with Wikimedia projects, discuss open knowledge practices, and explore opportunities for institutional collaboration. Through presentations, demonstrations, and open discussions, attendees will gain practical insights into how Wikimedia platforms and open-access frameworks can support cultural heritage preservation, public engagement, and knowledge sharing.

Description of the Activity

The Wiki Lunch and Learn was a two-hour capacity-building and knowledge-sharing event hosted at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA). The event introduced staff members to the Wikimedia ecosystem, with a focus on Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata. Participants learned about open knowledge, copyright, Creative Commons licensing, Freedom of Panorama, and how cultural heritage institutions can contribute to open-access initiatives.

The session combined presentations with hands-on practical activities, allowing participants to create Wikimedia accounts, edit Wikidata, upload media to Wikimedia Commons, and explore how Wikimedia projects can support archival and museum work.&lt;br&gt;

'''Date and Location'''

Date: 25th June 2026
Time: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Location: Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
&lt;br&gt;

'''Type of Activity'''

* Wiki Lunch and Learn
* Capacity-building workshop
* Wikimedia training session
* GLAM outreach and institutional engagement
* Hands-on editing workshop
&lt;br&gt;

'''Outcomes and Metrics'''

*Total Number of Participants
18 participants attended the in-person event.

*New Contributors
10 participants were new contributors to the Wikimedia community.
&lt;br&gt;
8 participants had never edited any Wikimedia project before and were completely new to Wikimedia.
&lt;br&gt;
The remaining participants had limited familiarity with one or more Wikimedia projects but had little or no editing experience.
&lt;br&gt;

'''Event Dashboard'''

https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Canadian_Centre_for_Architecture/Wiki_Lunch_and_Learn
&lt;br&gt;

'''Participant Feedback'''

Participant feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Common responses included:

* Participants enjoyed the interactive format and requested additional training sessions.
* Several commented that the two-hour session passed very quickly because it was engaging and practical.
* Participants appreciated learning how to add geographic coordinates to Wikidata items.
* One participant shared that Wikimedia Commons had become their new favourite Wikimedia project.
* Archivists found Wikidata particularly easy to understand and immediately relevant to their daily work.
* New contributors expressed excitement about joining the Wikimedia community.
* Participants had questions on the SPARQL query feature on Wikidata.
* Many expressed interest in continued collaboration between the Canadian Centre for Architecture and the Wikimedia community.
&lt;br&gt;
'''Quantitative Content Created'''

During the workshop:

* All 18 participants uploaded at least one photograph to Wikimedia Commons.
* All 18 participants created at least one Wikidata item.
* Participants also gained practical experience with Wikipedia editing and adding citations to articles.
&lt;br&gt;
'''Links to Content'''

Workshop Dashboard:

https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Canadian_Centre_for_Architecture/Wiki_Lunch_and_Learn

(Content created on Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata is available through participant contributions recorded on the Dashboard.)
&lt;br&gt;

'''Organizing Experience'''

The event was straightforward to organize, and coordination with the CCA Wiki Committee made planning efficient and enjoyable. Involving experienced Wikimedia volunteers outside the institution enriched the learning experience and provided participants with diverse perspectives on Wikimedia contributions.

One of the highlights of the event was demonstrating how Wikimedia projects support museums, archives, and cultural heritage institutions. Participants were able to immediately connect the practical training to their everyday work, particularly through Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons.
&lt;br&gt;

'''What Went Well?'''

Several aspects contributed to the success of the event:

* Strong collaboration with the CCA Wiki Committee resulted in seamless planning and delivery.
* The venue provided an excellent learning environment.
* Participants also enjoyed complimentary access to the CCA exhibitions, which enhanced the overall experience.
* The combination of presentations and hands-on practical exercises kept participants actively engaged throughout the session.
* Participants demonstrated enthusiasm and curiosity, resulting in lively discussions and questions.
&lt;br&gt;
'''What Would I Change?'''

*For future editions, I would broaden outreach beyond the institution. and expanding outreach to additional community members would increase participation and strengthen the local Wikimedia community.
*I will adopt a different approach to event registration so I can get all participants to register and also help track contributions on the dashboard

'''Did You Achieve Your Intended Goals?'''

Yes.
The activity successfully achieved its intended objectives by:

* Introducing participants to the Wikimedia ecosystem.
* Increasing awareness of open access, copyright, and Creative Commons licensing.
* Teaching practical skills for contributing to Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata.
* Building participants' confidence in making Wikimedia contributions.
* Demonstrating how Wikidata can support archival practice and cultural heritage documentation.
* Beginning conversations around institutional collaboration and future Wikimedia engagement.

Participants left with practical editing skills and a greater understanding of how Wikimedia projects can support their professional work.

'''Final Budget'''
&lt;br&gt;
Lunch for 20 people - 330
