Add your knowledge to help Primary School education by editing Wikipedia
Do you want to make a difference to the foundation phase of Education in
South Africa? Then join us at two Wikipedia Primary School edit-a-thons.
Wikipedia is meant to be an education tool but experiences have shown us
that once accessible, Wikipedia does not provide information that responds
directly to curriculum-based questions.
Wikipedia Primary relies on Wikipedia as an existing and growing resource.
It solves the need for an encyclopedia capable of responding to
curriculum-based questions, and it fosters Wikipedia content, quality and
outreach. The edit-a-thons are a collaboration between Wikimedia ZA, UCT IP
Unit and WikiAfrica’s Wiki Loves Women project.
At each edit-a-thon (a fun way of contributing information to Wikipedia), we
will work together to add and improve articles on Wikipedia that are
important to primary school children in South Africa. The themes for these
edit-a-thons are :
1. South African women leaders and issues around women
2. South Africa¹s indigenous people
3. Good news stories affecting the youth (e.g., discoveries, inventions and
policies)
The details of the edit-a-thons are:
* Dates: 19 and 26 February 2016
* Where: American Corner, Central Library, Old Drill Hall, cnr Parade and
Darling Streets
* Time: 15:00 - 18:00
* Cost: Absolutely free
Refreshments and light snacks will be provided.To read more about this
project, please visit the Wikipedia Primary School Programme
