Movement Communications
Movement Communications brings people together and works to create a sense of belonging. We build connections, help people understand the Wikimedia mission and celebrate their role in its success.
The team
How we work
[edit]We recognize that our movement is always evolving, changing and in motion. So our strategy to communicate with the movement is agile. It is based on recommendations from our movement and includes:
- Global Goods – Looking after the “Global Goods” of communicating with and connecting the movement. Things that help everyone build trust, understanding and brings all of us together.
- Regional movement communications – Being intentional about inclusivity and building a sense of belonging in our movement through new global, multicultural, multilingual communications.
- Product & Technology Movement Communications Collaboration and communication about product development, user-facing product changes and roll-outs.
