Short description	"The greatest threat towards the cultural heritage is lack of knowledge and disinterest. The best way to protect the cultural heritage is therefore knowledge and information that is easy to find and free” — Lars Amréus, Director-General of the National Heritage Board of Sweden. Connected Open Heritage will do that.
Longer description	In partnership with UNESCO, Wikimedia Italia, and other organisations, Wikimedia Sverige will work to connect the world’s immovable cultural heritage data on Wikidata, building on the extraordinary work done by volunteers globally. With your help, we will add more data from countries where cultural heritage is at risk, allowing information to be more easily integrated on Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia. This will spark awareness and interest to save the world's cultural heritage. Here’s how you can help out: Find relevant GLAM partners in one of the target countries - we will do the batch upload. Categorize media and improve the metadata. Share news about the project. Tell us about relevant events and conferences (globally). Establish the mappings between the current WLM data and Wikidata properties/entities by participating in WikiProject WLM and WikiProject Cultural heritage. Translate and localize material relevant to the project.
3 milestones	Add data from ten countries where cultural heritage is at risk. WML database available on Wikidata 100,000+ images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons
