Capacity building
editBoard Training
editTraining for board members is really important since the board needs to acquire and develop a wide range of skills. We need to develop and implement programs and projects for our members. We need to learn how to create budgets, how to efficiently organise a meeting, how to interact with institutions and government, how to take decisions, how to make financial reports. We need to learn the legal requirements, and how to collaborate in a professional way in general.
Wikimedia training
editWe should organise decent Wikimedia training for the community members. How to write decent articles, how to comply with the free licenses how to support the Friendly space policy.
