Hi Terry,
I understand your comments, and I agree that online workshops may not work
for senior participants. In this project, the workshops, apart from
training a relatively small group, are meant to provide feedback,
consultation, and networking.
However, the final product - the "text book" may suit a range of Wiki
education scenarios, and hopefully help people leading / teaching wiki
skills to diverse groups.
I also suppose that this particular project is directed mainly at young
people. I underlined the fact that in my country, no level of school or
university education includes media education, internet literacy, open vs
closed data and so on.
Most young people can use social media - but using reliable sources,
contributing to open access knowledge and visual documenation, knowing how
to use materials submitted by other people - is a different matter. The
goal of this particular project is to hopefully raise the awareness and
skill level there, and to prepare teaching and encouragement material that
can help.
Best regards,
Marta M Moraczewska

Hi Jane
Anything to help publicise Wikipedia training and we'd like to use it
ourselves to tackle digital exclusion. The aim is to create incentives for
55+ year-olds to attend local community-group digital training sessions
across the Good Things Foundation Online Centres.Network
<https://www.goodthingsfoundation.org/our-network/>.
Having recently become a network member, I'm looking at new and
innovative means of attracting new Wikipedia editors. For example, there
are 279 Civil Parishes in Cambridgeshire.all of which have
Wikipediia articles e.g. Cottenham
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottenham>.
Encouraging senior citizens with in-depth local knowledge to expand these
articles through local Wikipedia "clubs" is something I'd like to
pursue and I'm keen to know of any other enterprise like it in the UK.
How might the CIG-E-Forum <https://jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/CIG-E-FORUM.html> be
used to float this idea? Meanwhile, I'm working my way through
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Marta_Malina_Moraczews…
and
have Cc'd my colleague Andrew Zolnai for his thoughts.
"The [Grants} project links a series of targeted workshops, prepared from
the point of view of creative professionals, training them in a range of
Wiki skills - combined with a plan to prepare an "all-in-one"
textbook/manual, explaining licenses, OTRS (this may be especially useful),
reuse and many other basics.".
Essentially, our thoughts are with those who are digitally
excluded through no fault of their own but still have much to contribute.
@ online workshops at this stage would be counter-productive at this
stage.
Kind regards, Terry

Hi,
I would like to ask if you could post your messages to:
https://jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/CIG-E-FORUM.html
Here in the UK we are trying to raise awareness of all things
Wikipedia/Media/Data amongst our cataloguing & metadata workforce as this
gives us the perfect opportunity to create, share, enrich and maintain
metadata outside of the restricted access MARC environment.
It would be really great if these messages from your group could raise
awareness of the possibilities.
It might also engender a bit more support for structured training and
workforce development.
Many thanks,
Jane

Hi Everyone,
I would like to interest those of you working with GLAM institutions,
but also with individuals who are artists, photographers, filmmakers and
other creators, in a project "Creators in Wikipedia".
The project links a series of targeted workshops, prepared from the
point of view of creative professionals, training them in a range of Wiki
skills - combined with a plan to prepare an "all-in-one" textbook/manual,
explaining licenses, OTRS (this may be especially useful), reuse and many
other basics. This would have an English version and files letting people
easily prepare translations into other languages/localise examples used.
The idea is also to introduce and connect this group of users to
existing Wikipedia initiatives - such as Art+Feminism, Women in Red, Wiki
loves SDGs, Wiki For Human Rights and Documenting Ukraine's Cultural
Heritage.
Here is the project proposal:

<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeta.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FGrants%3AProject%2FRapid%2FMarta_Malina_Moraczewska%2FCreators_and_Wikipedia&data=04%7C01%7Cjdaniels%40cardiffmet.ac.uk%7C2fde96e652454e5ae42e08da073c418a%7C189dc61c769b40488b0f6de074bba26c%7C0%7C0%7C637830252741368836%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=QjH1gyGQ5UrnkP8ujwCg86S8Izvg93I3Pv5PiJ%2FfMIs%3D&reserved=0>
Please let me know if you have comments, ideas, or suggestions. If you
consider the project worthwhile, please endorse here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Marta_Malina_Moraczews…
<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeta.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FGrants%3AProject%2FRapid%2FMarta_Malina_Moraczewska%2FCreators_and_Wikipedia%23Endorsements&data=04%7C01%7Cjdaniels%40cardiffmet.ac.uk%7C2fde96e652454e5ae42e08da073c418a%7C189dc61c769b40488b0f6de074bba26c%7C0%7C0%7C637830252741368836%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=keOip9VLstJRXDxUctL%2FV51PV6AFmGrS82HEc11kVp0%3D&reserved=0>
Also do let me know if you would like to take part in the project - as a
workshop guest (they will be partially run in English), to contribute to
the "textbook"/manual material, or to participate in its review. The
program is mainly addressed at audiences from CEE countries but hopefully
is adaptable to other uses.
Thanks for reading! Hope to hear your thoughts.
Best wishes!
Marta Malina Moraczewska
