Hello all, and apologies for crossposting!
I hope you are doing well!
As you may have noticed when we announced the partnership in August [1]:
the Wikimedia Foundation is working with the UN Human Rights to help expand
the availability of knowledge about human rights online.
As one of our first collaborations, we are going to be running a
campaign from November 15 - January 30 to add and improve knowledge about
human rights on Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. The initial focus of
the campaign will be on improving articles about topics related to the UN
Declaration of Human Rights and youth standing up for human rights. More
information about the campaign is also available here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights
We would like to invite you to get involved in the campaign in one of
several ways:
Help us build the list!
- We need your help identifying more topics related to youth
involved in human rights that don’t have articles on Wikipedia or could use
further improvement. We would like to represent many different languages
and geographies in the campaign. To propose topics for the list, see
instructions at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/List#Adding_a_topic_to_t…
Organize an online or offline event!
We need your help finding community leaders from throughout the
Wikimedia to:
- Host an online campaign on your language Wikipedia! To learn more
about hosting a local topical campaign see the kit here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/Organize#Campaign
- Hold an in person editathon with local human rights organizations
or partners! To learn more, check out the kit here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/Organize#Editathon
Promote the campaign starting Dec. 10 for International Human Rights Day
!
Help us amplify your efforts around the campaign and publicize it to
wide audiences. We’ll be sharing a communications toolkit (including
graphics) soon with suggestions on reaching out to folks about the campaign.
- Reach out to local media and supporters: Journalists and the
public can help add momentum to the campaign through storytelling and
spreading the word.
- Promote the campaign on social media: We’ll be using
#WikiForHumanRights to promote the campaign on social media, when we
increase the communication to the public on 10 December
If you want to help in other ways, let us know on the discuss space
#human-rights tag
<https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/do-you-have-questions-about-organizing-for-wikiforhumanrights-let-us-know/1948>
or by emailing Alex Stinson <astinson(a)wikimedia.org and Luisina
Ferrante <educacion(a)wikimedia.org.ar>
If you are interested, let us know by indicating your interest to
organize in the Organize sections linked above!
Note: We are still updating the communications assets for the campaign!
To watch for those materials, add
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/Share to your meta
watchlist.
Have questions?
If you have questions, we are going to be hosting an office hour next
Tuesday
<https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/community-office-hour-wikiforhumanrights/1949>,
or you can ask questions on the discuss space #human-rights tag
