Arbërora Leti, an English teacher from the Pashko Vasa 9-year elementary school in Rrëshen, gathered students and teachers to learn how to edit and improve articles on Wikipedia in Albanian.

All the participants edited 16 articles enriching the content, contributing to the growth of free knowledge, and promoting gender equality by editing content that reflects diversity and inclusion across all social groups.

This 2-day activity helped students develop new skills, and build more transferable skills to use in class and community.

By providing mini-grants to small local communities, WoALUG encourages collaboration to contribute to the growth of open knowledge.

Below are some pictures from the events.
