Hello everyone!
I’m writing you in behalf of Wikimedia Serbia, regarding to organizing the second World Mime Day edit-a-thon.
Last year Wikimedia Serbia collaborated with World Mime Organization http://www.worldmime.org/, whose president is Marko Stojanovic https://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%BE_%D0%A1%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%98%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%9B_(%D0%B3%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%86), famous actor in Serbia, mime artist and acting professor. Along with this organization and Singidunum University https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singidunum_University we successfully realized this event https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/World_Mime_Day_Wiki_edit-a-thon#Local_organizers.
The edit-a-thon aims to have international character. In 2016 Wikimedians and Wikipedians from Macedonia and Armenia joined us in celebrating this day by writing about notable mime artist, theaters and mime plays.
The support for this event came from the United nations as well: Ms. Irena Vojackova-Sollorano, UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative for the Republic of Serbia, visited the edit-a-thon http://blog.wikimedia.rs/?p=2231 and praised the volunteers mission.
This year we are planing to do the same and we are inviting everyone who is interested in this topic and who thinks that GLAM cooperation could be achieved. World Mime Organization has a network of mime artists and theaters worldwide, so you can use Marko as a contact to reach local theaters and artist.
The Meta page is created, and you can sign and join the project https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/World_Mime_Day_Wiki_edit-a-thon_2017#Local_organizers. There is also an event page on Serbian Wikipedia https://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0:%D0%A3%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%92%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BD_-_%D0%A1%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B5_2017.
