Decolonising knowledge on Wikipedia requires a critical examination of our practices, structures, and sources, while actively addressing power imbalances. It is a collective and global effort that necessitates engagement from both individuals and institutions to foster a more inclusive and representative knowledge ecosystem.

This roundtable brings together ongoing Wikimedia projects and initiatives dedicated to decolonising knowledge on an international scale in Africa, South America and Europe. By facilitating discussions both onsite and online, it serves as a dynamic space for enlarging the network and exchanging ideas, methodologies, and best practices. The hybrid format facilitates participation, enabling contributors from diverse backgrounds to share their perspectives and experiences in shaping a more equitable Wikimedia landscape.

The core objective of this initiative is to enhance inclusivity across Wikimedia projects by challenging existing structures and critically evaluating the sources that shape knowledge production. Through open dialogue and collaboration, the roundtable seeks to amplify underrepresented voices, recognise marginalised histories, and promote alternative narratives that have historically been overlooked or excluded.

By engaging in this discourse, participants contribute to a growing repository of knowledge that reflects diverse cultures, identities, and experiences. The session will not only highlight existing challenges but also identify actionable strategies for fostering a more just and representative digital knowledge space.

Through collective reflection and shared learning, this initiative aspires to build sustainable frameworks for decolonising knowledge on Wikipedia. The insights gathered from this discussion will inform future approaches, offering practical recommendations and concrete steps towards a more inclusive and equitable Wikimedia movement.
