Hello social media team,

We just published a blog post about a promising training program for senior citizens in Prague:

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)
