[edit]Activities

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.
- There will be a workshop that will teach the students on how to make research in wikipedia for Assignment, Project or Course work purpose. It will teach them how to Create article and Edit articles in wikipedia.

- I would create a discussion group in whatsapp and facebook that would keep the participants being more effective in wikipedia edits. Questions and answers would be discussing in the platforms.
5. 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:

[assessment tool (here)]
6. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?
- Yes, I want to carry out this project and to be done in Kadpoly because students find it very difficult in research especially when it comes to assignment, C.A test and Course work, the students are mostly copying from one another because they lack research resources. I attach two books (Hausa to English to Arabic and Hausa Pocket Dictionary (Qamus)) that would be used during the campaign to both Hausa and Mass Communication Students especially for those that don't understand Hausa Language in creating article. Because there is relationship between the 2 departments because Mass communication students especially in Northern Nigeria. That is why i included the Mass Communication Department.
