The ESEAP Strategy Summit 2025 is an upcoming summit for Wikimedia affiliates and invited resource persons in the ESEAP region to talk about the Movement Strategy, including any developments around the Movement Charter, as well as topics for the ESEAP Hub itself including its own Charter. Manila, Philippines was selected as the host city for the event by participants of the ESEAP Conference 2024 in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

Background

[edit]

East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific are the most under-represented regions within the Wikimedia community. There is a significant number of Wikimedia contributors in our regions, yet we continue to struggle with establishing a well-managed community. This conference will bring participants from various ESEAP communities together in order to better understand the issues and to look for solutions. It also aims to connect people of the Wikimedia movement within ESEAP regions, to share ideas, and to build regional collaborations that are impossible to achieve through online communication.

Objective

[edit]

We are organizing the Wikimedia Strategy Summit 2025 to:

  • Provide an avenue for follow-up and status review of the current ESEAP Region’s strategic direction based on the previous Summits’ conversations.
  • Create open and engaging community discussions and nurture future cross-cultural collaborations among countries in the ESEAP Region.
  • Become a venue for community members to have a conversation with some of the members of Movement Strategy Working Groups so they could guide participants on matters or concerns that surfaced in their working group conversations in general and scoping documents in particular. This includes but is not limited to, providing clarifications, giving sample future scenarios, and sharing their work experience in their designated working groups.
  • Develop a support structure for Wikimedia communities and volunteers in terms of organizing, volunteer engagement, and technical challenges.
