Hello!
Wikimania is around the corner and many people looking forward to the wide
range of topics. Following the general idea of sharing knowledge about best
practices, the Volunteer Support Department of Wikimedia Deutschland warmly
invites you to the workshop “Engaging local Wikipedians”.
The Chapter supports several groups in Germany with the installation,
funding, and support of local spaces where community members can sozialize,
write articles, plan projects, share knowledge, start cooperations, teach
new editors, and so one. These are places where Wikipedians have a face.
Several local groups will hold lightning talks about their activities.
Further, a study by Wikimedia Deutschland on the local spaces will be
presented.
Nevertheless, getting local Wikipedians together does not only work in
actual rooms but in several other ways, fitting to the respective needs of
the communities and general conditions. One solution for example is the
Kumusha Bus that educates several communities in Africa about the Open
Movement. Of course, organizing student groups for Wikipedia in several
cities is another one.
What is your story?
We warmly invite you to share your experiences in this workshop with a
lightning talk of max. five minutes or participation in the discussion.
Learning from each other is the main goal of this workshop.
Basic information:
- Date: Thursday, 23 June
- Time: 9.30–13.00
- Place: Villa Rogo (20 min away from the center, followed by a German
Wikipedia workshop, running parallel to a Communications Hackathon)
