Activities[edit]
Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What is your promotion plan?
You can do a campaign involving billboards or rickshaw announcements to promote a Wikimedia projects, such as Santali Wikipedia, at different places in a city. You can promote an online campaign such as Wiki Loves Monuments on Facebook, Twitter, etc using ads. You can also create gifs/slideshows or other easy to make multimedia files and use them to promote your project on social media.
I plan to carry out 5days campaign awareness to promote fulfulde and English Wikipedia in Yola the capital city of Adamawa state, 3days should be walking days and 2days should be training days, we will be walks over the Yola city for 3days and the major schools which includes tertiary institutions, colleges and secondary schools we will also share the fliers and pamphlets to the students within the schools and common people of yola and we will select 3 students from each school we have visited to create an account for them and train them in our 2days training. Furthermore we will post 10 billboards to the main roads and junctions within the Yola city. I have informed Miyatti Allah leaders in Yola they are very excited about the project, I have also notified other schools authorities and they welcome the event and so glad about it. And I will invite media agents to cover the event by posting the program on their social media platforms.
