Introduction
The Wikipedia on Aruba project will host its first Wikimedia Commons training workshop on March 27, 2025, at Biblioteca San Nicolas.
The workshop will introduce you to the Wikipedia on Aruba project and show you how to add your own photographs to Wikimedia Commons, the media repository of the Wikimedia projects.
Please bring some digital photos you made yourself for uploading and a laptop or your phone .
By participating, you will contribute freely licensed images to support open knowledge, help document Aruba’s cultural heritage through openly accessible media and expand the visual representation of Aruba on Wikimedia platforms, making cultural content available to a global audience.
And there will be food & beverages :)!
