Wiki Clubs[edit]
Activities of Wiki Clubs members:
- Wiki Club Ohrid - 4 December - workshop about rare diseases.
members of Wiki Club Ohrid had a meeting with Gordana Loleska, a civic activist in the Movement for Rare Diseases in Macedonia and a member of the Life with Challenges association in Macedonia. At the meeting, the members of the Wiki Club Ohrid were introduced to what it means to be a rare disease, what challenges they face and how much they are represented in Macedonia. After a brief research we came to the conclusion that on Macedonian Wikipedia those diseases are present in a small number. The decission was made: Wiki Club Ohrid to supplement Wikipedia in Macedonian with articles on those diseases.
There was several activities in this project. On 15 December 2019, with the support of the Red Cross of Ohrid, in the village of Ramne, near Ohrid, in the premises of the Church of St. Ilija, with the members of the Wiki Club Ohrid Natasa Nedanoska run an editorial marathon dedicated to rare diseases. The group researched, edited articles, wrote completely new ones, and uploaded them to Macedonian Wikipedia.
This process is expected to take a long time, and a roundup would be expected on the occasion of the World Day of Rare Diseases in February 2020.
