Grants talk:TPS/Jwale2/How To Edit

Questions about your request

Dear Jwale2,

Thank you for submitting this request! This sounds like an interesting event and a good place to introduce people to Wikimedia projects.

I have question about your request:

• In general, few people become Wikimedia volunteers after only one time being exposed to our projects. We find that people are much more likely to get involved with repeated opportunities to engage. So, we prefer to see TPS requests that have a plan for following up with people that meet after the event is over to help them find either/both online and online opportunities to get involved. Have you thought about how you might follow up with people after the event? Do you have a way to collect contact information, and a way to communicate with people afterward? For example, some people set up groups on sites like Facebook or WhatsApp to reach out to people later. Some people collect email addresses.

Thank you for your interest in promoting the Wikimedia projects!

Warm regards,
