3. How will you let participants know about the edit-a-thon? In what ways will you be communicating with them?
For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.

I will inform the Principal and teachers directly. I will also let them know through whatsApp status since I have contacts of most of the teachers. The students will be informed by their teachers and I will request time to address them on the assembly. This will also be pasted on the wall of the facebook pages of these schools. I will also inform them through the existing WhatsApp group created during the previous event.

4. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event? Please provide links to the usernames of these individuals.
For example: User:I JethroBT

5. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

Yes, participants have tablets provided to them by the state government and they are already computer literate. Others will be encouraged to come with their laptops.

6. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

The teachers will be encouraged to give the students task to edit pages on wikidata and wikipedia which I will send a list on a weekly basis. I will continue to show them tips on a weekly basis on the whatsapp group created in the previuos event. Progress will be shared on this group as well.

7. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
