Board Training

Training for board members is really important since the board needs to acquire and develop a wide range of skills. We need to develop and implement programs and projects for our members. We need to learn how to create budgets, how to efficiently organise a meeting, how to interact with institutions and government, how to take decisions, how to make financial reports. We need to learn the legal requirements, and how to collaborate in a professional way in general.

Wikimedia training

We should organise decent Wikimedia training for the community members. How to write decent articles, how to comply with the free licenses how to support the Friendly space policy.

Fixed costs

Those costs are mandatory, and directly related to legal and administrative obligations.
