Event:Wikipedia 25: Setswana Knowledge activation Campaign

Overview

The Setswana Knowledge Activation Campaign is a community‑driven initiative under the umbrella of Wikipedia 25 celebrations. Anchored by WikiVerse Botswana, the campaign functions as a localized outreach program designed to bridge knowledge gaps on Wikimedia projects by prioritizing Setswana‑language content.

This event page serves as the central coordination hub for contributors, documenting activities, outcomes, and lessons learned. The campaign is structured as a multi‑track intervention:

Content creation track → Edit‑a‑thons focused on new Setswana articles and translations.

Commons documentation track → Photo walks and uploads of Botswana’s cultural heritage.

Capacity‑building track → Training sessions for new editors, with emphasis on retention and mentorship.

By aligning with the Wikipedia 25 Fund, the campaign not only commemorates the encyclopedia’s milestone but also strengthens the Botswana Wikimedia community’s footprint within the global movement. Deliverables will be tracked via the Outreach Dashboard and Commons categories, ensuring transparency and replicability for future campaigns.
