Ahoy valued readers of wiki-l This email is *not asking you to do anything*, unless you like reading and/or are interested in why Wikimedia Europe <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Europe>, a network of 30+ wiki organisations, even exists! What do we do? What is the scale of the European affiliates community gathered in our ranks?
1. WMEU Strategy 2030 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Europe/Strategy> This is your key to understanding why, how and what we aim for as Wikimedia Europe. 2. WMEU 2025 Report <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2025_Wikimedia_Europe_Annual_Narrative_Report.pdf> This one will show you what we’ve achieved with the support of our 30+ members. Presenting results in 3 key WMEU’s workstreams: public policy, collaborative community development and fundraising & resource development. 3. WMEU Network Overview 2025 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:WMEU_2025_Overview_Publication.pdf> As part of collective ecosystem sense-making and mapping <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Europe/Network_Mapping>, we want to share with you an annual overview of who we are and want to be as a network. Each year we will focus on different aspects of our WMEU community. We start modestly, with this general overview of key numbers that help understand the scale of the network that so many of you bring to live. Beyond the above "big serious stuff", you can check out these *3 things that might be helpful for you* as someone supporting wiki organisations: - Super brief list of everything you can join or use from WMEU <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Europe/Capacity_building#Everything_you_can_join_or_use_as_member> <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Europe/Capacity_building#Everything_you_can_join_or_use_as_member>(especially as a member, but many of our activities are open beyond members) - We are inviting volunteer supporters from across Europe to get to know each other: EuroMixer: Volunteer Support <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:EuroMixer_-_Volunteer_support> - November 30th 2026, 5PM CET - Our main work is focused on advocacy & public policy, you can read our *Monthly EU policy reports* here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Europe/Advocacy/Monitor> + we share a general monthly Bulletin with highlights from our region (via email only for now, you can send me an email if you want to get those). Think of Wikimedia Europe as the affiliates' joint platform in Brussels: one channel for policy advocacy, instead of 30+ separate ones. Beyond Brussels, we also help affiliates across Europe connect with each other, learn from one another and collaborate on shared challenges. See you around!
