Hello guys,<div><br></div><div>I was at the Barcamp Koforidua this year. I was part of a breakout session where Wikimedia world was discussed.</div><div><br></div><div>How many people joined the session? About 8. </div><div><br></div><div>How many people were recruited? None. Did I take anyone&#39;s contact? No. Did anyone show enthusiasm to join? Not that I noticed.</div><div><br></div><div>Did Wikimedia/Wikipedia make sense to them? I think so. When one lecturer at ANUniversity came to appreciate the structure of Wikimedia and Wikipedia and why everything happens the way it does, everything I guess made more sense to him.</div><div><br></div><div>At the educational level, how people see Wikipedia and it&#39;s related project sites is very different and negative. If and should that be fixed, I&#39;m sure the effects will bubble down to many in schools.</div><div><br></div><div>Will those who joined the breakout session become editors? I don&#39;t know. Will they get in touch to learn more? I don&#39;t know. Did they take something useful about Wikimedia home? Yes, absolutely. I gave Wiki-related handouts I received from Wikimedia UK to some in attendance.</div><div><br></div><div>A lecturer at Koforidua Poly plans to get in touch later in the course this week to further discuss if they could do something Wikipedia Education Program related. Will update this thread with more.</div><div><br></div><div>Pictures of the event: <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/bckdua?f=images&amp;vertical=default&amp;src=hash">https://twitter.com/hashtag/bckdua?f=images&amp;vertical=default&amp;src=hash</a></div><div><br></div><div>Are the pictures on Wikimedia Commons at the moment? Mine aren&#39;t, will upload in the course of this week.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope to be at the Accra Barcamp as well, then with a combined power from all the Wikimedia guys in Accra, we could push the Wikimedia word more.</div><div><br></div><div>Did I do a good job at Barcamp Koforidua 2016? I don&#39;t know.</div><div><br></div><div>rexford</div>
