CIS-A2K/Events/Intensive Personalised Wiki Training Session at Pune

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

To nurture the active editors, constant capacity building sessions are needed. The tam building is also achieved for long term contributions and retention. The intensive inputs are not possible in big workshop. Hence CIS-A2K has initiated personalised Wiki Sessions. This was the first in the series for Marathi Wikimedians in Pune. The event was conducted on 6 August 2018, in which seven editors participated.
