Abstract:
The talk presents the Colombian version of Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom (RWC). Our Adaptation of the program keeps three modules from its initial version: access to information, evaluation of information, and creation of information. However, the deployment in Colombia, called “Leamos y Escribamos Wikipedia” (Reading and Writing Wikipedia), has led to conceptual, methodological, and implementation innovations based on asking what the real needs of people, teachers, and schools are. We call this new component “engagement with the World”.

Consequently, we proposed a training that not only included moments to teach and co-construct knowledge and tools, but also included interludes between training meetings; during such interludes, our team would visit the schools and accompany teachers in the classroom. To do this, it was necessary to include a person from the Wikimedistas Wayuú into the RWC implementation team in La Guajira.
