Wikimedia CH

Wikimedia CH, based in Zürich, is a non-profit association dedicated to spreading free knowledge and fostering a smart and open society. As a chapter recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation, we bring people together to share knowledge and connect them with the vast Wikimedia universe. Our collaborative and accountable association represents the interests of multilingual communities throughout Switzerland.

Our guiding principles include mindfulness, distributed authority and collective intelligence, embracing emerging and continuous learning, and putting business and human needs side by side. Founded in 2006, we focus on impactful strategies such as GLAM, Education, Community, Outreach, and Experimentation & Innovation. We rely on communication, fundraising, technology, diversity, inclusion & equity, and innovation to support these efforts.

What sets us apart is our remote working team based across Switzerland, with members passionately dedicated to their part-time roles. If you want to contribute to our mission, you can join us by making a donation or becoming a member of our association. Together, we can shape a future of free knowledge
