How will you let others in your community know about your project (please provide links to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions)? Why are you targeting a specific audience?

We will send an invitation to Wikimedistas de Bolivia mailing list. Also, we will set up the site notice to get wikipedians from all over Bolivia to participate.

We will have gathered around 40 people to talk about Wikipedia. We will likely edit 10 new articles. Also, we will follow their development and invite them to other events.

The other one will be an online workshop for a reduced number of women. Childcare will be offered. Finally, we will hold an online event to celebrate Wikipedia's 20 anniversary.
