Join the new initiative: Heritage Guard Network!

Dear WLE community!

We are pleased to introduce you to a new initiative that aims to protect endangered natural and cultural heritage.

🤝🗣 Heritage Guard Network (HGN): Empowering Communities to Safeguard Cultural and Natural Treasures through Crowdsourced Digital Efforts aims to create long-term, sustainable networks that compile, build, and share best practices for successfully crowdsourcing data and information on cultural and natural heritage in danger.

HGN brings together formal project partners, all of which are independently registered national NGOs recognized as national representatives of the international Wikimedia movement. These include Wikimedia Sweden (Technology & Content), Wikimedia Poland (Engagement), Wikimedia UG Georgia (Legal), and Wikimedia Ukraine (Risk), alongside two Hub initiatives, the Content Partnerships Hub and the Central and Eastern European Hub.

These entities share a common mission through the project and will exchange knowledge and experience, primarily through online workshops and conferences.

📌Read more about this initiative here: https://diff.wikimedia.org/…/a-new-initiative-aims-to…/

We invite all interested volunteers and experts, including representatives of cultural institutions, to join our soon-to-be-launched brainstorming meetings.

📝If you are interested in joining a working group, according to your interests and expertise, you can show interest by contacting us at hgn@wikimedia.ge.
