This roundtable invites Wikimedians from across the globe to engage in an open dialogue on enhancing the impact of two international campaigns: Wiki Loves Folklore and Feminism and Folklore. #WeTogether, will exchange ideas, challenges, success stories, and innovative strategies to document cultural heritage and bridge the gender content gap on Wikimedia platforms. As we reflect on 20 years of the Wikimedia movement, this session is a collaborative space to co-create the future of inclusive, community-led campaigns.

Inclusion starts with access! Wiki for Inclusion is breaking barriers and amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities, especially persons with disabilities in Ghana and Tanzania. This lecture presentation will highlight key strategies, success stories, and innovative approaches that make Wikimedia more accessible, diverse, and community-driven.
Discover how small but intentional efforts can transform communities, ensuring that everyone has a place in Wikimedia’s knowledge ecosystem. Let’s make inclusion more than a goal but let’s make it a reality!

Wiki Loves Folklore is an international campaign dedicated to documenting and preserving the world's rich cultural traditions, festivals, and folklore through the Wikimedia movement. Since its inception, it has empowered volunteers from diverse backgrounds to contribute freely-licensed media and content on intangible cultural heritage, addressing gaps in global knowledge representation. This lecture will explore the campaign's evolution, community collaborations, impact metrics, and innovative tools developed to scale participation across continents. We’ll showcase how storytelling through local knowledge can become a universal bridge, promoting equity and representation. Aligned with Wikimania@20’s theme, this session emphasizes inclusivity, measurable impact, and sustainable content creation—making folklore not just a relic of the past, but a living, evolving asset on the world’s largest free knowledge platforms.
