Project Plan
editActivities
editTell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What content will the contest focus on, and why is it important to your community?
- We will use our social media channels Wikimedia Tanzania and Wiki Loves Africa in Tanzania and our metapage to let the members know.
3. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event?
- Yes, we have at least 5 active Wikimedians who will help organize the event.
4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?
- Some of them have the equipment such as laptops and cameras, some of them use mobile phones to capture photos. We are planning to rent at least 4 laptops and 4 cameras, 3 (wide) lenses that will be used by volunteers to capture the images.
5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?
- We will keep the contacts database of the participants, and assign one of our team members to do a post event follow up, to create more awareness of our social media channels and meta page so that the participants can keep following us on further projects we implement. We will as well invite them to join us.
6. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
- Yes, we will have at least 2 in person events and here is the WLA 2022 in Tanzania Risk assessment results based on the current COVID-19 situation in our country.
7. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?
- We are super excited about the year 2022 theme Home and Habitat as we hope the participation will increase due to the clarity of the theme and somehow inclusive for many people to participate in capturing photos that fall under that theme. We are also happy that through this project day after day we are making great steps towards closing the content and narrative gap about Africa through photo.
