Even in the 1990s, we published stories received via email from collaborators. Today, our website offers a platform that allows the submission of text and multimedia narratives. We have also carried out over 300 oral memory collection projects, in connection with local communities. In total we have interviewed over 18.000 people from all over the country. However, our current platform only provided us with limited intel about our own archive, due development limitations. This has significantly improved once we started using the Query Wikidata, which allows us to have a deeper understanding of our archive, as well being able to create graphs with this information, as int can be seen in [https://medium.com/creative-commons-we-like-to-share/commons-voices-contributing-life-histories-to-the-open-knowledge-ecosystem-in-brazil-66ca1fca79fd this article]. > > > Watch the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K337fNxiOvw in English], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gohj12%20Wo0 in Portuguese] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lNvUmArXgA in Spanish].

The session aims to discuss peer learning and sharing as a strategy for community-based capacity building around GLAM initiatives. Such a perspective focuses on the decentralized exchange of knowledge-skills-services, rather than centralized training and knowledge transference, as a methodology for the Global Approach for Local Skill Development.

Through the GLAM initiative, it is possible to disseminate collections and generate greater social participation in the eligibility of what may constitute documentary heritage, encouraging preservation actions and promoting the dissemination of knowledge. GLAM initiatives give communities and social movements the opportunity to document their history and disseminate their collections. It is a tool that allows different subjects to elaborate and make public their own perspectives of organizational memory. GLAM can be a great ally in raising awareness of the social importance of archives and for democratizing the participation of people that ensures diversity of race, gender and regionality in the production of knowledge, in the elaboration and selection of what constitutes heritage. > > > Watch the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R%20iBkVg53Ak in English], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5RR-wFNnu4 in Portuguese] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4sLYKhf1Lo in Spanish].

However, it's important it doesn't exist there in a vacuum, but instead gets integrated into the rest of the Wikimedia projects so that it is visible and used widely. We highlight the use of Wikidata as an excellent strategy to do this. In particular, the way that content is then automatically reused and visible across many projects, e.g., various language Wikipedia infoboxes and lists (using Listeria), as well as Commons category infoboxes. The same applies also to metadata added directly to Wikidata, which can be used e.g., in references (using Cite Q), dramatically increasing its visibility. We will cover other tools that can be used to manipulate and display media using Wikidata and its query service - both describing them and providing a how-to guide for how to implement them for your projects. > > > See the [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Using_Wikidata_integration_on_the_Wikimedia_projects_to_enhance_GLAM-WIKI_content_sharing.pdf Slides] [[File:GLAM_Wiki_Con_2023_-_João_Alexandre_Peschanski.png|right|150px]] * '''[[m:GLAM_Wiki_2023/Program/Cultural_heritage_and_the_Wikimedia_movement_in_times_of_crisis|Cultural heritage and the Wikimedia movement in times of crisis]]''' with João Peschanski (Wiki Movimento Brasil) The world loses irreplaceable pieces of knowledge all the time due to wars, fires, natural disasters, and other crises, especially in museums, libraries, and archives, but also external objects such as monuments. As the world's largest and most available source of knowledge, the Wikimedia movement and its projects have not only the ability but also the duty, to share those objects and safeguard them. In this panel, we intend to show how we can accomplish that together, why it is important, what are the accessibility challenges and how we can advocate to overcome them. in order to safeguard those objects, the country where those objects are situated should have Copyright Laws that allow not only allows proper digitization and documentation, but also policies that allow the sharing of reproductions, such as Freedom of Panorama, Open Licenses guidelines, and other Copyright considerations, which are all accomplished by Copyright Reforms. > > > Watch the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2Fx3c2g5xE in English], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0x0QiynRMo in Portuguese] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdOSk0dNQmQ in Spanish].

The audience will learn from the unique perspectives of Art+Feminism’s Regional Leaders. In detail, this session will explore how museums and cultural organizations can broaden their efforts toward tangible actions to address access and knowledge equity through media literacy and inclusive learning programs. Providing foreground to this session, a case study about how the Caribbean Cultural Institute at Pérez Art Museum Miami, and Art+Feminism — “a campaign improving coverage of cis and transgender women, non-binary folks, feminism, and the arts on Wikipedia” — were paired in the development of media literacy programs will launch the conversation into how museums can have an impact on younger generations and openly share museum scholarship online. > > > Watch the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4tgx%20jy0Nc in English], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovprr2gctD4 in Portuguese] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdU4Z--yHw8 in Spanish]. *'''[[m:GLAM_Wiki_2023/Program/Lighting_talks|Lightning talks]]''' with Lilian Viana (University of Sao Paulo) Presents the Every Book its reader campaign and its results.

It establishes a sociotechnical platform for peer-to-peer connection and knowledge sharing to sustainably enable community-based capacity-building. == A Sociotechnical Solution == The project aims to create a methodology and service: a structure for mutual skills development globally, regionally, and locally. The intended interactive, online platform will enable Wikimedians to publish information about themselves, their affiliates, and informal groups. They will also be able to conduct searches, access information, and to connect with each other in a way that reflects the Wiki's spirit and the Wikimedia [[:m:Movement Strategy]]. The CapX platform reflects the Wikimedia Movement's spirit and strategy. Interactive and online, it is a Global Approach to Local Skills Development. == Project Background == The project began in 2021. The [[:m:The Capacity Exchange initiative - cXc|first phase]] (2021-2022) was led by a voluntary working group of mostly European-based wikimedians, who designed the concept, taxonomy, and pilot platform for the initiative. In 2022, the project started to scale and trans-localize its activities, outreaching to groups from emergent communities of the Global South. The initiative’s second phase (2023-2025) is coordinated by a [[#Team|Team]] located with [[:m:Wiki Movement Brazil User Group|Wiki Movimento Brasil]], supported by an international [[#Advisory Committee|Advisory Committee]], and funded by a Movement Strategy Implementation [[:m:Grants:Project/MSIG/WMB/Capacity_Exchange_2023-2025|Grant]]. == Try It == <div style="text-align:center;

In 2022 the project ran its first upload, collecting data from all universities and several polytechnics, and creating a dataset of more than 66,000 theses and dissertations. We have just updated this dataset with a further 14,000 theses, which we will be linking to authors, advisors and main subjects over the coming months. The dataset now covers New Zealand theses from 1907 to 2025. You can read more about the project on our [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/NZThesisProject English Wikipedia project page] or on [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_NZThesisProject Wikidata]. === Heading 2 === <br /> <noinclude>{{GLAM/Newsletter/Comments|month=August 2026}}</noinclude> rwpvbybmhko41o185jy2i8o3f1i6a6g
