About the project

Description: The aim of the project is to edit Wikipedia write journalism articles about global and climate issues in various parts of the world to feed the civil society knowledge hubs with the aforementioned topics. During the project the participants will also make a research on topics related to climate justice activists and awardees of the Goldman Environmental Prize. It will give visibility to the issues the activists advocate for.  The participants will search for solutions and good practices through Wikipedia and other reliable and notable sources to include them in their articles. The Journalism of Climate Change Solution will be introduced to the participants through a non-formal education approach.  The workcamp provides a space for discussion, debate about climate change, and environmental problems in local areas.  It will involve building group dynamics and introducing the study part of SCI as the oldest peace building movement.

Type of Work: Editing Wikipedia articles in English and the native languages of the participants. For beginners, there will be a short training provided about technical and content part of editing Wikipedia.

Study Theme: Bringing peace through raising knowledge and awareness about climate justice issues, environmental activitis.

Ten days of editing Wikipedia together and connecting!

This project is organised by Service Civil International Switzerland https://scich.org/en/home_en/ in cooperation with Wikimedia Switzerland.

What is Service Civil International?

⦁ Service Civil International, or SCI, is an international peace movement.

⦁ We are independent: we are not a religious organisation and we are not affiliated with any political party.

⦁ We are activists: we want to promote a culture of peace by organising international volunteering projects and peace education.

⦁ We are different: in our usually very hands-on projects (most of them are 2-week volunteering camps aka “workcamps”), we bring people from different backgrounds together to promote peace, solidarity and understanding.

⦁ We are pretty old: Service Civil International was founded in 1920 after the First World War

⦁ We are a lot: every year, thousands of volunteers participate in our projects. We are happy to have you as well in this camp!
