We carried out more than 314 activities in various regions of the country, from large cities such as Bogotá <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogot%C3%A1>, Medellín <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medell%C3%ADn> and Riohacha <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riohacha> to less visible territories such as Dibulla <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dibulla,_La_Guajira>, Manaure <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manaure,_La_Guajira>, Leticia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leticia,_Amazonas> and Necoclí <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necocl%C3%AD>. Thanks to the joint work with local communities, we managed to get more than 2400 people to actively participate in our activities, we added 4389 new pages on Wikimedia platforms and strengthened our network of 128 allied organizations inside and outside Colombia. 💡 These achievements are seeds for a future full of opportunities. We would like to invite you to learn more about our impact in the 2024 Management Report <https://wikimediacolombia.org/2025/02/wikimedia-colombia-2024-of-growth/>Access and download it in full here: Link <https://wikimediacolombia.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/EN-Informe-de-gestion-2024.pdf> . [image: portada EN.png] Free knowledge must be able to grow in every corner of Colombia. December 2024 marked the closing of our Wikimedia Colombia Crece <https://co.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Colombia_Crece> strategy, a plan that allowed us to expand our presence in the country, connect with diverse communities and consolidate our position in the Wikimedia ecosystem in the region. +2400 people participated in our educational, cultural and community activities.👉 +1181 new users joined the Wikimedia platforms. +10081 pages, images and items created to nurture free knowledge. +314 activities in 15 cities in the country, highlighting the work people from the community who are in Atlántico <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atl%C3%A1ntico_Department>, Bolívar <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bol%C3%ADvar_Department>, Boyacá <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyac%C3%A1_Department>, Casanare <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casanare_Department>, Córdoba <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%B3rdoba_Department>, La Guajira <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Guajira_Department>, Nariño <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nari%C3%B1o_Department>, Norte de Santander <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norte_de_Santander_Department>, Nariño <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nari%C3%B1o_Department>, Meta <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Department>, Risaralda <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risaralda_Department>, Santander <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santander_Department>, Sucre <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucre_Department> and Valle del Cauca. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valle_del_Cauca_Department> Our presence in Colombia will continue to grow under a wonderful new perspective with which we will be able to co-create and dream even more educational opportunities and memory spaces in diverse scenarios where information needs to be democratized.

[image: imagen cifras EN.png] Memory, justice and truth. Free knowledge so as not to forget. “When I heard the word virtual memorial I found it very poetic and it gave me hope again.” Colaboratorio’s participant Wikimedia Colombia's Dignification project has fostered collaborative memory work between victims of the conflict, civil society organizations, Colombian state institutions and our network of volunteer collaborators. In the last semester of 2024, our efforts focused on a pilot in Soacha <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soacha> and Bogota <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogot%C3%A1>, which consisted of structuring public information in a database for Wikidata, contributing to make visible non-hegemonic narratives about extrajudicial executions in these territories. “This space gives one back hope because one realizes that from all latitudes, from all tools, one can continue to resist” Colaboratory participant. 🌐 This project is not only about documenting, but also about putting Wikimedia platforms at the service of people, building collective memory and, contributing to truth, justice, reparation and non-repetition. Through Wikidata and in collaboration with the National Center for Historical Memory and other allies, we are committed to free and accessible knowledge that keeps the country's memory alive. We invite you to learn more about this and other projects in our Management Report 2024: link <https://wikimediacolombia.org/2025/02/wikimedia-colombia-2024-of-growth/>. Open education for all people, from La Guajira to the world > > Professor Pedro encouraged his students to edit the “Punta de los > Remedios” Wikipedia's article. [image: imagen.png] 📚 Education is the most powerful tool to transform the world, because it prepares the people who will make and sustain change. In 2024 we continue to bring this mission to the classroom with the “Let's reading and writing Wikipedia <https://co.wikimedia.org/wiki/Leamos_y_escribamos_Wikipedia>” project. Thanks to all the people who supported us in Dibulla <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dibulla,_La_Guajira> and Manaure <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manaure,_La_Guajira>, in the department of La Guajira <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Guajira_Department>, where teachers and students learned to use Wikimedia platforms not only to read, but also to write and build free knowledge. Together with the Minister of National Education <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_National_Education_(Colombia)>, the Secretary of Education of La Guajira and Bank of Republic <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_of_the_Republic_(Colombia)>, we were able to train local teachers, adapt educational guides and promote egalitarian dialogue in the classroom. This experience not only strengthened the digital skills of the educational community, but also enhanced the ability to tell their own stories, from their identity and context. 🚀 We want to continue expanding this impact in more territories in Colombia. Learn more about this and other projects in our 2024 Management Report <https://wikimediacolombia.org/2025/02/wikimedia-colombia-2024-of-growth/>and join us in our mission to democratize knowledge. The Wikimedia Movement in Colombia The community is at the center of our work. In 2024 we closed with more than +130 Wikimedians throughout the country. We celebrated in community the 5th anniversary of Wikimedia Colombia, and we did it in our Wikidía, whose version was centralized and synchronized in 4 cities of Colombia: Bogotá <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogot%C3%A1>, Riohacha <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riohacha>, Medellín <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medell%C3%ADn>, and Leticia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leticia,_Amazonas>. [image: imagen.png] “A country called Colombia that was inhabited in two different scenarios, one rural and one urban, as you can see there by invisible people, people who do not recognize each other. [...] “[people] play a role in this landscape, some producing crops, others protecting the waters, others protecting the forests, others raising animals, others transporting food, going to the different places to consume it, to market it, to buy it, etc. [...] but there are still obstacles, there is something we call different epistemologies [...], there are people who know a lot but cannot talk to each other because they have different categories to represent the world” “Build epistemological routes that allow them to speak respecting their own knowledge [...] in scenarios where no knowledge is superior to another and where they can complement each other. That is where all the different Wikimedia symbols appear, playing the role of connecting these knowledges with each other [...]. Yes, the systems are registered in a local way that would allow a fairer information to be accessible and not by centers that control this information and manipulate its representation. Dream of Wikidía’s participant In 2025 we plan to continue calling Wikimedians to inspire us and build together more projects and initiatives in Colombia. We will do it in our WikiConf Colombia 2025.
