Wiki Club in Primary school Nevena Georgieva Dunja

[edit]

A Wiki club was established in the Nevena Georgieva Dunja Primary School in Skopje. "The Wiki Club at the beginning of the work has about 15 members, with the intention of increasing their number, all in order to create larger articles.

The responsible mentor is Maja Trajkovic, who is a French language teacher and librarian and who will manage this Wiki Club with students from the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades.


And this Wiki Club is part of the educational program of GLAM Macedonia and represents a step in the expansion of Wikipedia in the Macedonian language.

We expect the first concrete activities from this Club by the end of school year.
