DCW Conversation Hour is an open conversation hour by the Deoband Community Wikimedia for everyone in the world. It focuses on Wikimedia movement strategy initiatives such as increasing the sustainability of the movement, and helps invest in the skills and leadership development across Wikimedia entities. The conversation hour innovates in the free knowledge, through the prism of evaluation, iteration, and adaptation.
DCW Conversation Hour went live for the first time in September 2022. We standardized it in March 2023 when we invited Dr. Nicole Schwitter to present on the effect of offline meetups of Wikimedia communities. Since then, the conversation hour touches issues that relate to the global free knowledge movement and helps the movement's sustainability.
