March and April were busy months for the Wiki community in Macedonia especially for the younger population engaged on Wikipedia. GLAM Macedonia, in collaboration with the Italian Embassy in Skopje organized two editing challenges: ‘Meet Italy’ and ‘ In the focus: Italy’. Meet Italy was an editing month challenge for Wiki Club's members in N. Macedonia, taking place from 01 March to 31 March 2023. In focus: Italy was an editorial one-month challenge for students from the Italian Department of the Faculty of Philology "Blaze Koneski" - Skopje, which took place from April 1, 2023 to April 30, 2023. During the month-long editing challenge „Meet Italy“ the participants created a total of 836 articles and during the challenge 50 people took part in. The awarding ceremony took place on May 15 (Monday) 2023 at 8:00 pm at the Cinematheque of N. Macedonia, where, as part of the Italian Film Days, the Ambassador of Italy in Skopje personally and ceremoniously awarded the awards to the winners.
In the focus: Italy was implemented in order to reduce the lack of articles with Italian music and film topics on Wikipedia in the Macedonian language. All students from the Italian department were welcome to contribute. In the editing marathon, 39 new articles were created by 6 students who created articles on the topics of music and film through time in Italy. The awards ceremony took place on May 21 2023 at 8 p.m. at the Cinematheque of N. Macedonia, where as part of the Italian film days, the ambassador of Italy in Skopje personally and ceremoniously awarded the prizes to the winners.
