- Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)
The poster explains the history and present of the Klexikon, a wiki website for children in German. The Klexikon was created with support of Wikimedia Deutschland and is hosted by ZUM, an organisation for open educational resources and wikis. Just like Wikipedia, the Klexikon is an encylcopedia but with content suitable for children from six to twelve.
The poster is based on the 2015 report for WMDE and further experiences since then. One motive for this poster is to encourage similar projects in other languages.

- Much of my great love for Wikipedia came from my love for encyclopedias, which I developed when I was five years old and read an encyclopedia made especially for children. Although it had its flaws, it was good enough to bring me to where I am today, dedicating much of my waking time to Wikipedia in one way or another. This is a very interesting topic.
