An equivalent of Wikipedia for children and the information and participation rights
by Mathias Damour 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

Hi, I sometimes gave update on this list about the Vikidia/Wikikids projects, yet last time was three years ago. I couldn't post on this list for a while, so here is a quite old message I wanted to share about "Vikidia, an equivalent of Wikipedia for children and the information and participation rights" Here is the text of my contribution to a Janusz Korczak Seminar in Geneva on May 2015 on the topic Childhood Protection and Participation: https://en.vikidia.org/wiki/User:Astirmays/Vikidia,_an_equivalent_of_Wikipe… It was about Childhood Participation, which is stated in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in words to which the Wikimedia Foundation's vision and mission statements are surprisingly close. Don't you miss a "Wikipedia for children" in your language? Where children can not only find a suitable corpus of knowledge for them, but be able to freely share their knowledge. ;-) I hope it can draw the attention especially to Vikidia in Spanish and Vikidia in English which, although behind fr.vikidia and wikikids.nl, already have some valuable content and a significant audience! You may have also heard about Klexikon as well, in German. However WikiKids.nl in Dutch and Vikidia in French are for now the far most successful wikis for children, and seem to be better known in their language area as every Wikimedia sister project but Wikipedia. They should be a lecture about Vikidia in Wikimania 2017 by Gabriel Thullen, see: https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Working_with_kids_:_Wi… * https://www.vikidia.org/ * Presentation of the project https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids Best regards, -- Mathias Damour [[User:Astirmays]]

**I am testing the filters for the Education mailing list. Please ignore this message if it passes through to the list. Thanks for your patience.** Dear Colleagues: My most recent blog posts comprise a two-part article entitled “Wikipedia’s Ways of Knowing.” I outline two contrasting ways of organizing and accessing knowledge—“rhizomatic” and “arborescent”—and explain how they relate to Wikipedia. In the process, I also deal with Portals and Categories, two powerful Wikipedia concepts. Part 1: http://bit.ly/2p20MkJ Part 2: http://bit.ly/2qxO9eG
