Wikimédia France is the French association created on October 23, 2004, to promote the free sharing of knowledge through Wikimedia projects (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, etc.).
Wikimédia France has set itself three missions:
To increase content (in terms of quality and quantity) by organizing contributor days and free operations, and by helping with digitization and uploading. To this end, the association signs partnerships with organizations with a wide range of social objectives (museums, universities, local authorities, etc.).
Animate communities interested in Wikimedia projects. To this end, the association supports contributors in their individual or collective projects, by offering human, financial and material resources.
Enhance the skills of our target audiences by offering training courses for educators, the general public and volunteers on topics such as using Wikipedia in the classroom and contributing to Wikimedia projects.
Rémy Gerbet has been Executive Director of Wikimedia France since 2022. He is responsible for the general running of the association, representing the association with partners and at events, and maintaining relations with the rest of the Wikimedia movement.
