Project Goal

Choose one or more of the following goals. You can add or delete goals as needed.

1. Engage new editors and collaboration/Support from different educational institutions of Nashik to engage more school students.
2. Increase skills for existing editors
3. Add or improve content of the articles (Both English and Marathi).
4. Get a boost for Outreach activities in Nashik.

There is very less awareness about Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons among the people of Nashik, India. To improve this lack of awareness, we are planning a Wikipedia Summit followed by weekly Wikipedia workshops which will take place over a period of 2 months. The workshops will aim to generate interest among students about wikipedia editing and photo uploading.

The weekly workshops will include the following topics:

1. Introduction to Wikipedia
2. Wikipedia Editing
3. Uploading photos on Wikimedia Commons
4. Explanation of Wikimedia Sister Projects
5. Awareness about Wikipedia mobile app
