Wikicamp Nepal 2018 (WCN) is a three day event for experienced and new Wikipedians of Nepal. The main objective of the event is to increase the Wikimedia offline activities in Nepal, develop skills of the new Wikipedians and bring together experienced and newbie Wikipedians. This brought together Wikipedians from Nepali, Maithili, Doteli, Newari (Nepal Bhasha), Bhojpuri, Sanskrit and Santali Community as well as 2 emerging Incubator communities - Awadhi and Marwari.
This is first event of its kind being held in Nepal and is intended to become an annual national flagship event for Wikipedia/Wikimedia in the country.

In partnership with communities from Iraq, Nigeria, India, and Mexico, the Wikimedia Foundation has been working to increase awareness of Wikipedia through online marketing campaigns.
To support other community efforts, in January 2018, the Foundation launched an Inspire campaign which ended with 424 ideas for community projects to increase awareness of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. We funded 8 such projects in March 2018 across Africa and Asia.
The session will include some members of Maithili community to share the outcome of these efforts.
