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 doing a series of deep trainings in WP (French and Lingala) and Wikimedia Commons with the adapted version of OCLC curriculumand WikiMooc learning materials. Our target group is young leaders of youth Associations.

2. How have you let relevant Wikimedia communities know about this proposal? You are required to provide links to on-wiki pages to inform these communities about your proposed work. Examples of places where this can be done include community discussion pages, affiliate discussion pages, or relevant project talk pages.
You may also provide information about external social media channels you may be using.

We have contacted one of the representatives of these associations, with whom we are working on planning this series of trainings. He's in charge of contact associations and participants.

3. How will you let participants know about the edit-a-thon? In what ways will you be communicating with them?
For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.

I'm surrounded by an awesome team of experienced Wikimedians who'll be supporting participants as I'll be teaching.

4. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event? Please provide links to the usernames of these individuals.
For example: User:I JethroBT
