[Flow Funding] Potential project

[Kiril Simeonovski]

Dear flow funders,

A professor at the Faculty of Economics at Skopje University is interested
to implement modern techniques in his curriculum by introducing the
Wikimedia projects, lectures related to some aspects of the Wikis, and
invite speakers from other universities in the region. I still don't have
much information about the budget for this project, but I was told that it
won't be costly and therefore decided to mediate in the process about the
project. The basic idea is to invite a special guest from abroad who will
have to give several lectures in specific subjects of statistics to the
auditorium at the faculty. Meanwhile, the students will be assigned to
create content to the Wikimedia projects (specifically Wikipedia, Wikibooks
and possibly Wikiversity) and post it until a previously defined deadline.
One of the main roles of the guest is to be his commitment to link to other
universities abroad and propose the implementation of a project in a
similar way. The latter can be easily processed through the existing
Wikimedia chapter or community in the home country of the guest-speaker.

When I heard for the idea about this project, it sounded pretty good and
interesting to me. Can you please share some of your thoughts whether it's
viable to support a such project through the flow funding process?

Best regards,

Kiril Simeonovski
