Hello social media team,
We just published a blog post about a promising training program for senior citizens in Prague:
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/01/12/czech-senior-citizens-learn-to-edit/
As the author points out, this program helped recruit new editors in an under-represented, but productive age group.
Here are some ideas for social media messages to promote this new blog post:

• A new training program in the Czech Republic shows senior citizens how to edit Wikipedia. Here are some of the lessons learned from classes held in Prague last year. Participants edited a wide range of articles -- and about half of them continued to edit after the program ended. (link)
