Project Goal
editBriefly explain what are you trying to accomplish with this project, or what do you expect will change as a result of this grant. Example goals include, "recruit new editors", "add high quality content", or "train existing editors on a specific skill".
- We will do a first Wiki Loves Monuments actions with promotion, presentation and competition of Wiki Loves Monuments in Dalmatia, a region of Croatia that has the highest concentration of UNESCO monuments per capita in the world. It will be the first GLAM activity in Croatia and also done by a very small municipal library that is founded 100 years ago.
- We will try to inform general public and inspire new contributors. We will try to have more people from this region enter the WIKI world and contribute on the topic of culture that closely relates to their region as well as to re-evaluate importance of working with monuments and heritage, rather then just having and seeing them.
