What is a WIKI?• Hawaiian for “quick”• Not a passive, “read only” website • An effective & interactive way of working through

sharing, learning, trusting people (most are trustworthy & the Wiki is monitored)

• An effective way of working: takes time and effort (all shared learning does) and needs active members

• An effective way of working: saves time and money for all (costs nothing), all pages are pre-formatted

• It’s a lot of fun if you are not shy• Can be replicated in any setting (go ahead!)

Why WIKI?

• Open inter-congregational sharing• Subsidiarity in action• Built by the community of users:

everybody contributes• Simple to use, accessible for all• Simple to edit, add to, update; text & visual• Sustainable for JPIC office because it can be run

by anyone from anywhere in the world and is easy to learn for new volunteers
