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://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Marta_Malina_Moraczewsk...
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_Moraczewsk...
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
