Welcome to the EduWiki Workshop “Making the Most of Wikimedia Commons in Education”!
This 2-hour online workshop is part of the EduWiki Workshop series and focuses on building practical skills for using Wikimedia Commons to support education related Wikimedia activities. The session will be led by Hilary Onuh Ogali, guiding participants through key tools, practices, and approaches.
