Citizenship and free knowledge on Wikipedia in Albanian language
Summary: As part of the project "Strengthening Education for Democratic Citizenship in Albania," students and teachers gathered for a two-day workshop in Durrës to discuss the topics of citizenship and Wikipedia within the school setting in Albania.
Organized by the Council of Europe Office in Tirana, this event aimed to empower participants with skills and knowledge on how contributing to free knowledge platforms like Wikipedia can enrich civic engagement and build a more informed society.
In this workshop, WoALUG connected teachers and students to the values of citizenship and leadership by emphasizing that Wikipedia is another way to contribute to society and the community and introducing Wikipedia as a tool for learning, teaching, engaging them in free knowledge, and community-driven volunteer work.
Such activities do not end here. Upcoming sessions will bring more interactive activities, with participants taking part in translating and editing articles on Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata. This event highlighted the 21st Wikipedia SQ birthday and an important milestone of +100.000 articles in Albanian.
