Grants talk:Project/Rapid/UG GLAM Macedonia/Lectures, Edith-a-thons and awards for students/Report

Hi Violetova. Thank you for this grant report and for the team's efforts to organize successful events to support the Wikiclubs. It sounds like the Museum of Macedonian struggle in Skopje has been a great partner and that the Wikiclubs are doing really well. It's interesting to hear that your first attempt to partner with the Ministry of Information Society did not yield the same results. Why do you think the museum was much more open to the partnership? How often does the Wikiclub get together and why do you think the students are motivated to participate? Thanks so much, Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 03:01, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Alex, and thank you for review the report. In the Museum of Macedonian struggle in Skopje, there is a “children's corner” (as the employees called it) and the educators needed more activities for students, because the students age 14 and up needed more challenge than just writing poetry about history or drawing pictures. That is how Wiki Club was welcomed in the Museum. Wiki Club meetings are at least once a week. In order to have a larger number of students, we needed someone who can encourage them to get involved. We appointed a secondary school teacher as the coordinator for education in the User Group, and she was delighted to join the group. Besides having an enthusiastic coordinator doing outreach, we printed 2000 flyers, and our members gave several interviews in media. At the very first meeting in Wiki Club there were 20 students willing to become Wiki Club members. Regards, - Violetova (talk) 10:11, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
