Theme: Healthy, inclusive communities
The following discussion is closed.
Cycle 2 of the discussion is now closed for final sensemaking and drafting. Please join us soon for
the next cycle of this process
By 2030, the Wikimedia volunteer culture will be fun, rewarding, and inclusive for both existing contributors and newcomers. We will welcome new volunteers to our movement and mentor them to ensure that they have a great experience and continue to participate in the projects. People from every background will feel part of
a network
of groups and organizations with deep relationships. As a result, our movement will grow both in size and in nature, as our projects flourish under our collective care.

Questions

View discussion of these questions on the talk page
These are the main questions we want you to consider and debate during this discussion. Please support your arguments with research when possible. We recognize you may not have time to answer all the questions; to help you choose where to focus, we have listed three types of questions below. The primary questions are the ones most important to answer during this discussion cycle.
Primary questions
What impact would we have on the world if we follow this theme?
Note that if you already submitted key ideas that answer this question for this theme in the previous discussion, consider just adding a link to that source page versus rewriting the whole statement. (see
spreadsheet
). If you have something new to add to a comment you made previously, however, please do.
How important is this theme relative to the other 4 themes? Why?
Secondary question
Focus requires tradeoffs. If we increase our effort in this area in the next 15 years, is there anything we’re doing today that we would need to stop doing?
Expansion questions
What else is important to add to this theme to make it stronger?
Who else will be working in this area and how might we partner with them?
