Hello everyone, here are some 

activities this year

​ ​

by the Wikimedia Ghana User Group.

(Please whichever you are interested in joining, or if you want to suggest something, send an email to team@wmgh.org)

Wikipedia Education Program

​ (WEP)​  – All Year

Justice Allotey will be leading

​the ​

program at the Gimpa 

L

aw 

​School. 

​Sandister Tei will ​

also be running

​the 

 program at the French School.

​A student of GIJ wrote to us last year in June​. We are still following up on that to see if this year he can do so.

Wikipedia Library​ 

​ – All Year​

The WEP at Gimpa is for law students. We know writing about law is going to go way beyond the light news articles we use commonly as reference.

We plan on incorporating the Library hence we are making arrangements on how best the two can work together.

Whoever wants to join our library intervention can also get in touch.
