Hola, Wikimedians all around the world!
Wikimedistas de Bolivia’s activity report is now available on Meta:
Our work in the past year centered around:
Learning and education
Community and Communication Diversity
Free Knowledge and Culture.
Next, a brief summary of these activities:
The Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom program continued in the Santa Cruz and Sapahaqui Municipalities, with 6 skill-building Wikijornadas (“Wiki-days”), in which teachers from different regions also participated online.
This resulted invmore than 100 teachers who graduated from the program nationwide.
Due to the alliance with Internet.org, we reached the towns of Coroico, Aiquile, and El Sena, where around 90 high school students took a day to approach and explore critical reading.
Our work with university teachers and students continued as well, at Communications and Digital Media, Film, History, and Architecture departments from universities in La Paz, El Alto, Sucre, Cochabamba, Potosí, and Santa Cruz. Some of the participants later joined the Wikimedia community.
We took some important steps In the Community & Diversity area, in a Free Knowledge and Culture Management Workshop we organized in collaboration with the Flavio Machicado Foundation, in which we explored and talked about nature with a group of over a hundred young scouts.
In the Culture & Free Knowledge area some Discussion events were organized, which focused on feminine perspectives and experiences. Additionally, we participated in regional events with a similar focus. With great enthusiasm, we created 5 photo and editioncontests, along with others that returned. We participated in Wiki Loves Earth and Wiki Loves Monuments with activities like explorations, heritage parcours, as well as photo workshops.
On the global stage, we were present at IBEROCONF, Wikimania, and the WECUDI. We actively took part in workshops and roundtables, an opportunity that allowed us to share the perspectives and learnings we made last year. All these activities and the alliances we reached are well documented on our blog and our social network profiles.
