Edit-a-thon New narratives about the world - November 2022

Summary: November is long gone, but we want to share our experience of improving Wikipedia with very important topics such as anti-discrimination and global education. See what was happening in Warsaw and not only at the end of the year!

Edit-a-thon New narratives about the world was an edit-a-thon around anti-discrimination entries, organized by the Education Team of the Polish Humanitarian Action (pl: Polska Akcja Humanitarna= PAH) in cooperation with Wikimedia Polska. The action has been planned in the project entitled "We turn on new narratives about the world". The project was implemented with a grant from the Active Citizens - National Fund program financed by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway under the EEA Funds.

Over 30 articles on Polish Wikipedia were created and expanded (with the support of wiki trainers) by new Wikipedians, i.e. previously trained PAH trainers and PAH volunteers. We spent 3 intensive days, learning from each other for a good cause!
