- Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)
- In this interactive workshop, we give an introduction to the project management skills that are needed to set up Wikipedia for Peace camp.
- The two workshop leaders are experienced project coordinators. We have organized camps and edit-a-thons around peace in Germany and Austria as part of Wikipedia for Peace (which we introduce in our Submissions/Wikipedia for Peace).
- We will discuss issues such as financing, logistics, group dynamics and keeping up the motivation, best practice for content and the roles we see in project management of Wikiepdia for Peace projects. We will also discuss challenges around the organization of camps and try to find solutions together.
- At the end of the session, we want to come up with new project ideas by using brainstorming methods.
- What will attendees take away from this session?
- The main aim of this session is to give people who have an interest in setting up their own Wikipedia for Peace camps the skills they need. We will talk in detail about individual project ideas and will strongly adapt the workshop to the attendees.
