February in Wikimedia Serbia
Strengthening Global Content Partnerships
Wikimedia Serbia actively contributed to the global Content Partnerships Hub initiative, an important program that brings together Wikimedia organizations and volunteers worldwide who are interested in collaborating with various partners to support the free sharing of knowledge. The Hub aims to strengthen cooperation with institutions such as museums, libraries, archives, research institutions, and international organizations, enabling their content to become accessible through Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
Independent Cultural Scene Edit-a-thon Continues in Belgrade
Following a successful edit-a-thon held in Novi Sad in collaboration with the What Could Should Curating Do fellowship program, the collaboration continues with a new event in Belgrade. The event will take place on March 19 at 17:00 at the Faculty of Contemporary Arts, organized in partnership with ITHS and ITS. This event will also mark the start of a writing campaign focused on the independent cultural scene in Serbia on Wikipedia. The goal of the initiative is to further improve the visibility and quality of content related to contemporary art in the Serbian language.
Developing New Approaches to Cultural and Knowledge Partnerships
Wikimedia Serbia participated in working meetings dedicated to developing innovative approaches and new initiatives within programs that connect culture, science, and open knowledge. The meetings focused on exchanging ideas, strengthening capacities, and enhancing international cooperation, with the goal of empowering professionals in the fields of librarianship and cultural heritage to engage more actively in free knowledge projects.
Serbian Wikipedia Wins the Global 1Lib1Ref Campaign
The Serbian-language Wikipedia achieved first place in the global 1Lib1Ref 2026 campaign, with a total of 12,681 edits and added references that significantly contribute to improving the reliability of Wikipedia content. Editor Nikolina Šepić made an outstanding contribution with 5,886 added references, alongside significant efforts from other community members. This achievement once again demonstrates the strength and dedication of the Serbian editing community in building high-quality and verifiable free knowledge. More about this achievement can be found on our blog in Serbian.
New Opportunities for Wikipedian in Residence in Serbia
Representatives of Wikimedia Serbia held discussions with several cultural institutions with the aim of establishing new collaborations within the Wikipedian in Residence Program. During the meetings, potential opportunities were explored for individuals to contribute to the digitization, processing, and opening of cultural heritage content through Wikimedia projects. These initial discussions represent an important step toward further developing partnerships and strengthening the presence of open knowledge within cultural institutions.
