Wiki Data Training

1. Briefly describe how your strategies and activities proposed were implemented and if any changes to what was proposed are worth highlighting?

The event was planned to have a physical Training in regards to making wiki data descriptions in Luganda and this was implemented at Hive Colab - Kanjokya on Saturday 13th, May, 2023.
15 Volunteers attended the event and they signed on the Dashboard.

2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you feel are being effective in achieving your goals?

Yes: The approach of having a physical training is very important and works because volunteers learn as they practice and they can ably work from their homes after the training.

3. What challenges or obstacles have you encountered so far?

There is still a challenge of inadequate computers. They are very many people who would be willing to join the group, but they do not have computers.

4. Please describe how different communities are participating and being informed about your work.

Different communities including Teachers especially those of Luganda Language are participating. Among others are journalists who are now greatly contributing to the cause.

5. Please share reflections on how your efforts are helping to engage participants and/or build content, particularly for underrepresented groups.

7. What are the next steps and opportunities you’ll be focusing on for the second half of your work?

In future we shall do a month-long competition that will help us to have thousands of Wiki data Items having descriptions in Luganda.
