Highlights

[edit]
One of the 2014 top world winner pics was shot in Catalonia

2nd edition of Wiki Loves Earth
Wiki Loves Earth is an annual international photo contest of the natural monuments, where participants picture protected areas and upload their photos to Wikimedia Commons. The goal of the project is, on one hand, to picture under a free license as many natural monuments and protected areas as possible, on the other hand, to contribute to nature protection by raising public awareness. These pictures are to be used to illustrate articles on Wikipedia and other Wikiprojects (Wikivoyage, Wikinews, Wikiquote etc.). Amical collaborates organizing the contest in Catalan speaking areas. This edition we raised >2.000 pics covering a lot of previously uncovered Natural spaces. We are happy to announce that our community has been one of the top 10 contributors globally, even if this is our 2n edition. During June the jury will decide which are the best pics and will announce the winners in a cerermony that will take place in July the 8th.


Edit-a-thon was organized to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Catalan School of Librarians

Library science edita-thon self organized by teachers & sector professionals
To commemorate the centenary of the creation of the Catalan School of Librarian, the University of Barcelona self-organized this editathon, among other activities. Its goal was to grow the number of Wikipedia articles related to information and library science on Catalan Wikipedia and also to outreach the wikipedia culture among University Students and teachers.

Sharing our GLAMwiki experience at Major Spanish Librarians & Documentalists Conference
Fesabid 2015 took place in Gijon between 28 and 30 May, 2015. Fesabid is the XIV Spanish Conference on Documentation. It is a biannual event that has established itself as the most important forum in Spanish information & documentation professional sector. Both due to the high level of its audience and because the programme collects the most interesting developments of the profession. This edition of the conference has been organized based on the principle that our world is constantly changing, a world of information more democratic, more open. The Information Society has become the Open Information Society, and here, information professionals are challenged to move forward, to open and share our knowledge. For that reason the conference was based on the topic of Opening Culture and sharing knowledge... and this is Wikipedia and our GLAMwiki project with Catalan libraries gets in. Here you can read the Full programme in English. We where very happy to 2 two outreach events. One explaining our project with Catalan public libraries and second one doing the "closing keynote", advicing the attendees how a librarian should be from the point of a library user & free knowledge activits. You can watch the video -in Spanish- here. We where happy to share our experience with Spanish sector professionals and we hope this helps our friends of Wikimedia Spain to boost their GLAMwiki partnerships.
