;1. In order to support community review, please provide a brief description of your organization's work in the upcoming funding period. <!--This should be about 200 words, and should be easy for anyone to understand, because we will use it to summarize your proposal form for the purposes of community review. Include aspects of your proposal that will be of greatest interest to the general reader, and please focus on your organization's programs rather than your operational goals.-->
Wikimedia Argentina will organize its annual proposal within the framework of its new Strategic Plan for 2018-2020. During 2018 we will carry out our projects through three main programs: Education, Culture & Open Knowledge, and Community Building. We will continue strenghtening our local community as a priority, and we will also work to diversify its members and build new thematic communities and mentoring programs to make both current and new members feel confortable. Regarding Education, we will continue pushing forward our current projects, those we know and have proved that work, but for the first time we will make them scale regionally and we will build a new national teacher's network to build a more sustainable program within Argentina. In 2018 we will approach GLAM differently. We will keep our digitizing project and the work done by our WIR but we will diversify the cultural topics addressed and we will open the program to new audiences as of Open Data, Fact Checking, Folk Culture, Topical Issues etc.
Our programs will be crossed by three strategic lines: Knowledge, Community and Regional Cooperation. These three axis are fundamental to accomplish our programs as our work keeps focusing on releasing, developing and ensuring the access to free and quality knowledge, built by diverse and thematic communities that help us make our projects scale nationally, regionally and within the movement. This year we aim to start working to take our regional work a step forward making some of our projects scale in different countries and along with Iberocoop, help new communities start getting involved with the Wikimedia movement.
Likewise, we build this annual plan taking into considerations the FDC's recommendations of making a more concise proposal, continuing cross-cutting gender in all our program's design and evaluation, building partnerships with middle-size organizations and diversifying our programs geographically, thematically and regarding the communities involved.

;4. How does your organization know what community members and contributors to online projects need or want? Does your organization conduct [[Grants:Evaluation/Library/Glossary#N|needs assessments]] or consult the contributors and volunteers most involved with its work? <!--Please link to relevant needs assessments or consultations if you have them. Note that needs assessments and consultations are addressed specifically in the staff proposal assessment, so it will help to provide this information here.-->
[[Wikimedia Argentina]] works closely together with Wikimedia’s Spanish-speaking community. The main projects we work on are currently Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata and Wikisource.
During the preparation of the present annual proposal Wikimedia Argentina encouraged the participation of the community to obtain feedback on the proposal as follows:
* Survey: during 2017 we conducted a survey to our community - members and editors - to know their thoughts regarding our work. In the current proposal we have tried to include their priorities, as well as addressing what they believe are our challenges.
* Monthly board meetings: [[Wikimedia Argentina]] holds monthly meetings with its Board. These meetings are open to the whole community, and travel allowances are paid for those community members who wish to attend. The same system of travel grants applies to our activities, which are open and free of charge, whenever a community member wants to participate in them. This annual proposal was approved during the Board meeting that took place on September, 16th.
* Strategy meeting: in late August and in mid September we organized a face to face meeting that involved 15 community members and 3 partners, to discuss, review and approve this anual grant proposal.
* Iberocoop feedback: in this proposal we have involved other regional wikimedia's chapters.This proposal was review and dicussed with them in advance.
* Wikimedia Argentina's members email list: Wikimedia Argentina has an email list to interact with its members where we share each new activity planned or any new regarding the Wikimedia movement. Regarding the annual proposal, a great number of our members have given us their feedback and approval through this channel.

*'''Education''': it is difficult to count the number of participants and articles of the regional virtual course. At present we are working together with Wikimedia Chile and Venezuela to scale up Wikipuentes at universities and it is hard to determine number of participants.
*'''Culture''': We can estimate the number of attendees at talks, events, conferences, etc. according to 2017’s at around 500 participants.
:We do not consider sensible to estimate the reach of the regional campaigns and include these as participants. Experience has shown us that reach does not always translate into impact.
*'''Community''': We have estimated in 400, the number of participants in our community meetings in 2018. However, we have not included the reach of our work with new emerging communities regionally and within the movement. Although we can estimate to begin work with small groups, it is difficult to be able to determine the reach in terms of numbers.
==<big>'''Strategic axis 2018'''</big>==
The programs carried out by Wikimedia Argentina to date, i.e. have reached a significant level of development and maturity in the last few years.
This growth, together with the work that we have done during 2017 at the local and regional level and within the movement has made us worked on a new strategy adapted to our local reality and aligned with the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oeTtYgxfqo7NdotX2yXyHoN8MC4UZs3XFRfVj0gyKKo/edit new ''possible'' strategic direction of the movement]
During 2018, Wikimedia Argentina will develop its programs to respond to the following strategic axes:
<div style="font-size: 95%; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 16px #808080; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 16px #808080; box-shadow: 0px 0px 16px #808080; border-radius: 0.6em; -moz-border-radius: 0.6em; -webkit-border-radius: 0.6em; margin-bottom:1.5em; margin-top:1.5em; margin-left:5%; margin-right:5%; padding:1em;">
*'''Knowledge''': To guarantee the access and creation of high-quality, reliable, diverse and relevant knowledge<br>
*'''Community''': To build inclusive communities, with a strong sense of belonging, where Wikimedia projects are seen as a place where community members can express a great diversity of themes.<br>
*'''Regional Cooperation:''' To support the creation of new inclusive regional cooperation networks and to strengthen the existing ones, respecting local contexts.<br>
</div>
<br>
Additionally, Wikimedia Argentina will keep focusing on [[metawiki:Wikimedia_Argentina/Defining_quality_in_WMAR_programs#Quality_measurement_in_terms_of_gender_approach|cross cutting gender in all its programs]]. This has been a part of the design and evaluation of our programs and projects since 2015. We will go on working to bridge the gender gap, both in relation to content as to the number of women who make up the Wikimedia movement. For this, we will also continue applying our [[metawiki:Wikimedia_Argentina/Diversity_policy_WMAR_2017|diversity policy]] and promote parity within our projects.
These strategic axes will be implemented through the following three WMAR programs:

Our role will be supporting, helping, training, mentoring and providing resources when needed. However the local contexts may influence in their development. A specially sensitive case is Venezuela but we have the technical and institutional resources to support the execution of the projects -even to help them financially- and Wikimedia Venezuela counts with a strong local community.
* Regarding Paraguay we have partnered with the Ministry of Education and we are going to start working with them this November. Even though this alliance is in an initial stage we feel confident in making it grow and start building an Education Program.

Likewise, in 2017, the program began to work with new cultural communities and organizations outside the classic definition of GLAM. Free culture and its positioning within the alternative/fringe cultural sector, as well as our work beyond Wikipedia, especially with projects like Wikidata, have opened new lines of work, which are helping us include new thematic communities and come closer to new local cultural trends, connected to Open Data
During 2018 we are planning to continue working along these lines which suit our context much better, with the aim of dealing with the following challenges:
* Traditional cultural institutions in Latin America are monopolized by elites and governments, which
* Popular & Folk culture, which has a strong presence in Argentina and the region, circulates through non-traditional channels.
* Cultural institutions, governments and societies are unaware of the meaning of free culture. This has not been institutionalized and lacks a legal framework.
For this reason we have locally redefined the name of the GLAM program to "Culture and Open Knowledge", since we need to extend the scope of the program to be functional in our context.

Currently,
# Argentine society has a strong tradition in collective participation around topics seen as socially relevant. We have proved that enabling the encounter between volunteers with interests in common and accompanying them in the building of thematic communities promotes their loyalty to Wikimedia Argentina.
# We have proved that enthusiasm raises when our calls imply ''editing with a purpose''. For that reason, our activities have to be presented and designed to cover compelling themes, relevant to the local community.
# In 2017 we have positioned our historical community members to accompany and help new participants. This "mentor-mentee" relationship has brought motivation back into part of our historical community and it is making new volunteers feel a sense of belonging and stay onboard as a part of the WMAR community.
At a regional level we will keep strengthening and fostering the impact of Iberocoop as a network. We will continue encouraging projects together, but we will work to establish the network as a mentoring space, to identify and support new and emerging communities regionally.
At an international level, we will keep working to foster the construction of new global thematic communities within the movement. In 2017 we have worked to help to start establishing gender and educational communities (Wikiwomen Camp, Diversity Conference, Education Pre-Conference in WMCON etc). We want to continue working to strengthen the movement from our expertise by sharing learnings and knowledge and supporting the definition of global support networks.
