Ikusgela: adding pedagogical free videos to Wikipedia articles

With:

Day: May 26, 2023
Time: 11:40 - 12:00
Room: Atrium Room

Abstract:
Ikusgela is a project specialized in pedagogical videos. Its aim is to increase the presence of the Basque language on the web and to complete the scope of Basque Wikipedia. With a fresh tone that appeals to both students and those interested in the topics being worked on, it will use a language and resources adapted to the new narratives. All the videos, moreover, have been completed with free content, mostly from Wikimedia Commons, and the material created will also be free, as a sign of a way of acting in the network.

It has a website, but the essence of the project is not the container, but the content itself. Therefore, more important than the web is the Wikipedia and the Youtube channel, as well as finding innovative ways to disseminate and promote this content on social networks (via Twitter, Mastodon, Telegram, Instagram…). Ikusgela also wants to act as a bridge: it wants to bring those who only use Basque in the formal sphere to see Basque content in the informal sphere as well.
