We are going to conduct a series of at least four online webinars to participants, one of them will focus on general instructions on Wikicommons and infoboxes and how to participate in WPWP, the second and third will focus on answering any concerns about any challenges which might face the participants along the way, and the fourth one will be the finale to conclude the contest.

We will use our social media platforms and the meta page to let people know about the project.

Yes, we have at least 4 experienced editors to handle the project facilitation activities.

Many of them have the required tools for the project. We will rent a few devices (laptops) for active Wikimedians who will need support.

We will encourage participants to follow our social media platforms to keep track of all ongoing projects and any post project activities.
