Dear All,

Grameen Phone is the largest telecommunication company based in Bangladesh. Besides, in Bangladesh Grameen Phone & Banglalink (A Orascom Telecom and VimpelCom Ltd concern) now provide zero.wikipedia.org & m.wikipedia.org, which is completely free of cost.
In this two-day program we will arrange different types of Workshops. WMBD president Munir Hasan will conduct two seminars on wikipedia. Me & our another Sysop of Bengali Wikipedia Nasir Khan will jointly run 2/3 workshops. Our target audience 70+ I-Genious student. This all I-Genious students selected by a year-long program arranged by Grameen Phone & The Daily Prothom Alo all over the country [1]. On the first day 35 & on the second day 35 students will join this program. During the program we will deliver hands on presentations, How to edit, how to contribute, How to donate photo to commons. Moreover, we will enrich some articles those seem incomplete..

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.
