Project Plan

Activities

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:

1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?

We are planning to organize 1 photoathon and 1 training/editathons about Gambian women artists during the month of march 2020

2. How will you let your community know about the event? Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.

We are planning to share in different communities such as AWMD and African Wikimedians additionally to the Art+Feminism community.

3. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event?

Yes. So far the team is having one experienced editors to help lead editathons and to support participants but we still looking for online support from other well experienced editors from other communities. And we wish to improve skills of new editors as a training for trainers to support more the community.

4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

The main idea being to bring on board more editors and mainly to improve collectively our skills, the quality of content will be more based on the photoathon while using the editathon as a way to train and learn more about the content editing (using the pictures taken as basis for content creation or editing).

5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

Actually the planning group is getting a little bit bigger with the opening of a new lab and library in the region. Holding event there and engaging people through membership and group chats + social network gathering will be the main way to have more contributors.
