Objective

To offer a general travel grant so that Wikimedia Serbia can offer more travel support for small chapters and "proto-chapters" in the CEE region to have representation at the Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2012. The two-day conference programme is intended to promote "cooperation among the Wiki communities, Wikimedia chapters and the other interested groups from the region of Central and Eastern Europe".

The programme includes workshops on GLAM best practices and will discuss participation in the Chapters Association. Fæ has been invited to take part in the programme.

Goals

Provide sufficient funds for several smaller chapters to take part and improve their own best practices.

Resources

I would expect this to be a free grant of 2,000 euros to Wikimedia Serbia. This should be sufficient for three or more people to take part and cover their travel and accommodation in Belgrade.

Constraints

Time is limited - realistically a decision would be needed this week for Serbia to make offers of support.

Outcomes

Wikimedia UK seen as actively working with other chapters outside of the European Union.

Risks

None.
