Hello Hasive vai, There's a video about Wikipedia, where Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales depicts the birth of Wikipedia narrates how the free encyclopedia has become the world's 5th most popular website. I think this video would be really great to show in such a program where participants/people would get to know the facts about Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement from its founder. The link of the video: http://www.ted.com/talks/jimmy_wales_on_the_birth_of_wikipedia.html There's a download link on the website from where you can download it. Anyway, I would love to help in conducting the workshops or other necessary matters. See you tomorrow at the program.
