Practical Wikipedia Training for Teachers Held in Tetovo, Macedonia

Summary: As a continuation of the Teachers' Conference held in May, a practical training session for teachers was conducted on 7 July 2026 at Goce Delchev Primary School in Tetovo. The purpose of this activity was to enable participants to put the theoretical knowledge they had gained during the conference into practice by editing Wikipedia with the support of Wikimedia MKD trainers.

During the training, the teachers became familiar with the process of creating new Wikipedia articles, editing and expanding existing content, adding internal links, categorizing articles, and applying the fundamental principles that make Wikipedia a reliable and verifiable source of information. Through practical exercises and individual work, each participant had the opportunity to apply their newly acquired knowledge and actively contribute to enriching the Macedonian-language Wikipedia.

A total of 12 teachers took part in the training, creating 19 new articles during the session. These articles represent a valuable contribution to expanding the free knowledge available to all Wikipedia readers. The participants also demonstrated a strong interest in becoming further involved in Wikimedia MKD's activities and in applying their newly acquired skills in their work with students. The training was conducted in a productive and interactive atmosphere, with participants asking questions, sharing experiences, and discussing the potential of Wikipedia as a complementary educational tool in the classroom.
