 As a Wikimedian, I recognize the significance of volunteering. I am aware of the extraordinary results volunteerism achieves and how they show up in various aspects of life. They show up in various facets of society, such as Outreach, Advocacy, community service to address social concerns, and the needs of the underprivileged. Like the WMF, voluntarism has the power to make a worldwide impact and offers a wealth of chances for personal development.  At the end of May, the Department of Tourism of the Lviv Polytechnic National University together with Wikimedia Ukraine held a spring school “Introduction to Wikipedia: how to start writing about your native land” in Lviv, Ukraine. This five-day training was aimed at developing an interest in their native land and Wikipedia among high school students, as well as teaching them the basics of working with this platform and other Wikimedia projects such as Wikivoyage, Wikiquotes and Wikimedia Commons.
