PWMGH proposed a "Wikimedia Outreach in Ghana" (WMOGH).All has been approved and we carrying out the outreach. Our main goal, in line with that of the foundation's is to train Ghanaians to collect, refine and contribute Ghana- related content for free use on some selected wiki projects -- Wikipedia, Wikinews, Wikimedia Commons and Wikibooks (Cookbook). To achieve these goals by, we will: Train students, educators and other individuals on how to use, edit and contribute to the wiki projects generallyFocus on the editing and generation of Ghana-related articles towards the making of Wikipedia the prime online source for reliable and rich information about GhanaFocus on contributing Ghana's national and ethic cuisine to CookbookRecruit contributors who will cover Ghana's December 2012 presidential and parliamentary elections and submit articles to Wikinews and images to Wikimedia CommonsFocus on gathering images of Ghanaian cuisine to Wikimedia Commons to support recipes submitted to CookbookPublicize Portal: Ghana as an online hub for educational content covering our country The outreach will cover institutions in the following 3 cities in southern Ghana over a 3-month period (not consecutive) :Koforidua, Accra and Tema In each outreach activity, we will have these: Talk Wikimedia (a 1-hour event for both Tertiary and High Schools) -- This will be a 30-minute introduction to wiki projects, followed by a 10-minute introduction to some events by local chapters worldwide and then a 20-minute question and answer segment. Our aim is to give a spoken and with visual overview of Wikimedia Foundation to students, educators and other attendees. Talk Wikimedia will take place in each institution selected. Participants of Talk Wikimedia who come to understand our vision of free knowledge for all and are interested in becoming Wikimedians, proceed to join the subsequent events Wiki Edit-a-Thon— This will be a 2-hour event in the ICT centres of the various institutions, to:Teach and recommend user account creation and sync on project sites and the use of talk/ discussion pagesIntroduce students to article creation and editingIntroduce students to media uploading on Wikimedia CommonsIntroduce students to writing Wikinews articlesGet each participant to start or edit an article on a Ghana related topicDistribute Wikimedia branded souvenirs as incentives and promotionTo call for volunteering representatives who will start school clubs and foster ambassadorship Wikinews and Ghana Election 2012 coverageThis will be an event in Accra only to recruit students and other individuals to help gather articles concerning the December 2012 presidential and parliamentary elections in Ghana to be submitted to Wikinews. THIS ONE IS PAST Wikibooks Asanka ProjectAsanka in Akan means food bowl. Wikibooks Asanka Project will be an event in Accra only to recruit students and other individuals to help gather Ghanaian recipes and images of food for Wikibooks' Cookbook. Wikimania 2013 Those interested in Wikimania I believe have seen the requirements, Seth I think you are doing well and should keep going if you want the Foundation to recognize your efforts and fly you there. The rest of you who haven't had a single edit, be motivated by the offer and start something now. For helping out in any way let me know. Those of you who live in Accra and attended tertiary institutions and high schools in Accra especially.
