WTF now?! #36 – Thursday 21–Wednesday 27 May 2026

History of Wikimedia CH - Wikimedia

Wikimedia
Wikimedia CH was at the Political Tech Summit in Berlin for two days of insightful conversations and interactive sessions.

Huge thanks to @wikimediaDE for the collaboration under the Wikimedia Europe banner. It was a valuable opportunity for us to speak with a collective voice and represent the Wikimedia movement together.

#Wikipedia #WikimediaMovement

🆕 Wikimedia CH is expanding its role in advocacy and raising awareness of the values of the #WikimediaMovement

🎯 The aim is to position Wikimedia as a representative of free knowledge in national and international networks on topics such as digitisation, artificial intelligence, data protection, etc.

🌐 Our membership in the new SDS (Sovereign Digital Switzerland) network is a good illustration of our commitment.
