Project Plan
[edit]Activities
[edit]Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?
- We are going to do at least 2 main in person events (1 for launching and 1 for closing ), at least 1 group photo hunt and in between we will do at least 2 online workshops aiming at raising more awareness on how volunteers can participate in this project.
2. How will you let your community know about the event? Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.
- We will use our social media channels Wikimedia Tanzania and Wiki Loves Africa in Tanzania and our metapage to let the members know.
3. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event?
- Yes, we have at least 4 active Wikimedians who will help organize the event.
4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?
- Some of them have the equipment such as laptops and cameras, some of them use mobile phones to capture photos. We are planning to rent at least 2 laptops and 2 cameras that will be used by volunteers who will have no either of the devices.
5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?
- We will keep the contacts database of the participants, and assign one of our team members to do a post event follow up, to create more awareness of our social media channels and meta page so that the participants can keep following us on further projects we implement. We will as well invite them to join us.
6. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
- Yes, we will have at least 2 in person events and here is the WLA 2020 in Tanzania Risk assessment results based on the current COVID-19 situation in our country.
7. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?
- We are excited to participate in this amazing project, particularly we are happy to add more healthy and wellness related contents as these are one of the topics whose articles are mostly viewed in Swahili Wikipedia.
