Global Melt - Best Practices in Community Leadership for global peer-driven movements

About

Global Melt is a workshop for members and leaders of global peer-driven movements to explore what their movements have in common, share what they have learned, and discuss solutions and ideas for their respective communities.

The workshop aims to gather, for the first time for this purpose, community organizers from Creative Commons, Wikimedia, and Mozilla, as well as staff, contributors, and researchers from similar organizations and projects.

Our immediate goal is to troubleshoot one concrete issue that is common to all participating organizations. We're starting small and prototyping the workshop format, but hopefully this meeting will plant seeds for further collaboration.

The proposed topic is:

A deeper understanding for running local, community-organized events that contribute to organizational goals in meaningful and sustainable ways.

We will spend the time sharing experiences, both good and bad, with the aim of generating specific (and potentially shared) event strategies and collective assets such as toolkits.

Schedule

  • Sunday, March 27: welcome and dinner (evening)
  • Monday, March 28: workshop (all day)
  • Tuesday, March 29: workshop (morning)

The meeting will take place after the Wikimedia Chapters meeting and Wikimedia Foundation board meeting to ensure attendance from members of those groups. Expected attendance is 20-30 people.
