As the association for the promotion of Free Knowledge, Wikimedia Deutschland works to ensure that projects such as Wikipedia can continue to exist in the future and that Free Knowledge becomes a standard in our society. We support the invaluable work of the volunteers working on Wikimedia projects and try to ensure that even more people take part. We develop and improve software so that volunteers can more easily share their knowledge through the Wikimedia projects. We work with cultural, educational and scientific institutions and promote the idea of Free Knowledge to political and societal decision makers.
