Part 1 Understanding your work
[edit]1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented
Activities were developed to celebrate young wikimedians, their work and the communities shaping them in Moore Wikimedia Community/Ghana. Activities were developed to bridge the knowledge gap on the theme "Intergenerational Solidarity: Creating a World for All Ages" in relation to the Moore Wikimedia Community/Ghana. Activity(s) were developed that highlights youth diversity and participation in the movement.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals? Please describe these strategies and approaches.
We launched a simple community survey to identify two (2) young Wikimedians (preferably male and female) with the highest number of edits or other forms of leadership recognized by the community. We also identified one Wikimedian who is not a young person but helping to shape the journey of Moore Wikimedia Community/Ghana. We organized a celebratory community event for the identified people to recognize and award them with prizes. We also shared with the WikiVibrance global coordination team to spotlight them through their social media and media partners. We organized an Edit-a-thon or writing contest in Moore Wikimedia Community/Ghana with a focus on Wikipedia, wikimedia commons and wikidata with a focus on topics relating to the theme "Intergenerational Solidarity: Creating a World for All Ages" in the Moore Wikimedia Community/Ghana. We engaged in activity(s) that highlighted youth diversity and participation in the movement: We also joined the participants from different countries in the Wikimedia movement to tell stories of our work and communities during the Wikimania conference which doubled as a global launch event for the International Youth Day 2022. We shared our results and stories with the global coordination team to be included in the diff publication

7. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?This can include both positive and negative situations. What did you learn from those experiences?
The out reach dashboard: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Moore_Wikimedia_Community/Moore_International_Youth_Day_2022
was not responding/updating promptly to our edits so we find it difficult in monitoring the edits count of our contestants
The secondly, we had challenges of internet connectivity so most of our online training sessions were with difficulties.
Another is that we had less female participants than the male participants which really did not bridge the gender gap in the participation
8. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?
1. I will share this knowledge with my community members so we could embark on recruitment drive to increase the number of female contributors in the community.
- 2. I will harness on this learning to train new commers to improve thier quality edits in wikimedia incubator.
- 3. I will also leverage on this progress to entend a hand of good will to all researchers to patronise the use of wikipedia and its sister projects in the search of information.
