Odia Wikipedia Outreach Programs in Odisha
This was a very interesting and comprehensive report -- thank you, Mrutyunjaya Kar!
I noticed this:
Once we had shown everyone this, we invited those who were interested to stay for a more detailed and hands-on editing to stay, and told everyone else they were free to leave. A few of the audience left the lab, and the remaining 9 created their user accounts.
I see that a few other outreach sessions have also done this. I am curious -- when you do this, what specific phrasing do you use? I want to know how to say "if you're not interested, you can leave if you want" in a friendly, hospitable way, so your examples might help.
Thanks!
