Episode Synopsis

Welcome to another episode of Movement Strategy conversations. In this two part episode I will be speaking with Rupika Sharma. Rupika is a seasoned Wikimedian, free knowledge advocate, and community builder in the Wikimedia movement.
In the first part of this episode, Rupika will be speaking about her journey and the interesting article that was her first contribution to Punjabi Wikipedia, her growth over the years, her extensive work with underrepresented communities and knowledge, and why emerging communities are key to the future of the Wikimedia movement.
In the second part, she speaks about the need to create small actionable steps in order to transition to implementing the movement strategy recommendations. She will also discuss the need for coordination and cooperation, especially from her perspective of South Asian communities. What inclusive participation can mean, how to make this process simpler in general, and our aim to ensure we are on trajectory towards the strategic direction while at the same time addressing different barriers that communities face.
Thank you for listening. My name is Mehrdad and alongside my colleagues in the Support Team, I am honoured to be supporting a unique transition process to implement the Movement Strategy recommendations.
