Together, they help to ensure that more and more knowledge is available to us all. Precisely because volunteers work for free, one of Wikimedia Deutschland&#8217;s central concerns is to provide them with the best possible support: with funding opportunities for existing communities and with activities to attract new volunteers to Wikipedia.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"@xl:basis-1\/3 @3xl:basis-1\/3 order-1\">\n        <div class=\"aspect-w-1 aspect-h-1 bg-23-tertiary hover:bg-tertiary-200 border-4 border-black\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"824\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wikimedia.de\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2024\/05\/Frewillige-1.svg\" class=\"object-contain w-full h-full p-2 wp-post-image\" alt=\"Three people with different accessories, including binoculars, a laptop with a light bulb, and a backpack, stand behind a yellow fan with colored segments.\" \/>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class='outer-container'><div class='col-span-12'><div class=\"@container\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikimedia.de\/2023\/en\/themen\/access-to-knowledge-is-political\/\"\n    class=\"acf-teaser my-10 block p-4 transition @xl:flex gap-5 items-center hover:bg-gray\">\n    <div class=\"@xl:basis-2\/3 @3xl:basis-2\/3\n        \">\n                <h2 class=\"text-2xl @3xl:text-4xl\">Access to knowledge is political<\/h2>\n                    <p class=\"mt-6 lg:mt-10 hidden @3xl:block \">How much knowledge is freely accessible to all of us and how easily we can share it also depends on the political, legal and institutional framework conditions. Wikimedia Deutschland is therefore primarily committed to ensuring that these framework conditions are designed in such a way that more knowledge and data are freely accessible and thus benefit us all. We work with cultural and educational institutions and take our arguments for free knowledge to politicians and ministries.
