Wikimedia UK is committed to supporting our volunteers and to encourage
them to teach others how to edit Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, we
are running a weekend training workshop. This will take place on the
weekend of 1—2 February 2014 in Cardiff. This session is targeted at
volunteers in Wales and the immediate surrounding areas. We are especially
interested in editors of Wicipedia Cymraeg who work through the Welsh
language. However, both English and Welsh language editors on all Wikimedia
projects will be welcomed. The workshop itself will be delivered in English.
The workshop will be delivered by a professional training company and aims
to improve delegates’ abilities to deliver any training workshop. It’s
especially relevant to anybody who already runs Wikimedia-related training,
or is very interested in doing so in near future.
The workshop is a chance to:
- Get accredited and receive detailed feedback about your presenting and
training skills
- Get general trainer skills which you can then apply when delivering
specific Wikipedia workshops
- Share your skills with others
- Help design a training programme that serves Wikimedia UK in the long
term.
The course will run from 9:30 am—6:30pm on Saturday and 9am—5pm on Sunday.
A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. We should also be able to
cover travel and accommodation if you let us know in advance.
If you are interested in attending, please indicate your commitment by
signing up on <

Spaces are limited to 12 places.
If you are not able to attend this time but would like to take part in the
future, please add it to the event page or let me know by email to <
katie.chan(a)wikimedia.org.uk> — we will be offering more sessions in the
future.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I can also put you
in touch with past participants who will be able to share their experiences
with you.
Regards,
Katie
