Project idea

[edit]

What is the problem you're trying to solve?

[edit]

There is a great lack of articles on social sciences from a female POV on Wikipedia.

What is your solution?

[edit]

The Evangelische Hochschule Ludwigsburg (Protestant University of Ludwigsburg) offers a great array of social science courses and therefore has many female social sciences students. We'd like to offer a two-day workshop for those female students to learn how to participate in Wikipedia and become advisors and multiplicators within the university, students and alumni.

Goals

[edit]

30 female students are supposed to become advisors and multiplicators on Wikipedia-related topics.
