Lucie Schubert (WMCZ)
I was born in Prague and currently I live in a little town nearby. Europe in general has been my home for the past 20 years, I have lived in Lithuania and the UK and got a job gig in most of the European countries.
I'm a member and (part-time) Education programmes manager of Wikimedia Czech Republic since May 2019. Since January 2023 I am full-timer, currently as well managing Programmes for Community (editathons, events, campaigns, photographer community).
We run three main programs - Education (4 individual programmes), Community (editors & photographers) and Partnerships (where Wikidata and advocacy fall into).
Most of my work-life I have spend in field of education; mainly the non-formal. I am familiar with and passionate about Youth Work, Learning Experience Design, LifeLong Learning, Erasmus+ programme, Facilitation & Art of Hosting, Graphic facilitation, Impact, Sustainability and Green Events production of events and activities. I do occasionally write publish articles, educational materials and do editors job - e.g. for Council of Europe.
My life got enriched by many things such as: Ultimate Frisbee, slackline, urban cycling or contact improvisation. I love skiing, cross-country skiing, ice-skating and many other sports.
Since 2020 I am a Trager Approach Student and Practitioner. I hold a Greener Event Accessor Certification from Falthmount University in the UK.

We would like to showcase the National Library of the Czech Republic as a strategic partner of Wikimedia CZ and demonstrate how The collaboration of Open can function in practice and what path we have walked together so far. Year ago we signed a Memorandum of cooperation. But there have been many small single yet important steps taken in the previous six years which lead to that official act. These steps were taken by individuals, staff & volunteers on both sides and have blossomed into multifaceted collaborations and resulted into one of the strongest Wikimedians in Residence team.
Hosted by Sherry Antoine, with guest host Ruby D-Brown and a welcome from Program Lead Wojciech Pędzich.

Promoting Wikimedia and Wikipedia editing among our main target groups in educational programmes has been sometimes more and sometimes less successful. Until we open up to elaborate on a specific area - media literacy.
In that moment our activities and programming became an answer for the diverse set of needs among our partners and participants. And through that channel we found a common language and became an important stakeholder in the field of media literacy education and lifelong learning within the country.
We have the perfect playground available, where we can provide real time experiences on some of the phenomena.
