Track Preference
[edit]Your preferred track during the workshop
[edit]Challenge – From Learning to Action
- Track 2: Project Design Challenge – From Learning to Action
Which track are you most interested in and why?
[edit]- I am most interested in the Micro-Project Design Challenge because my current work focuses on initiating and managing small-scale yet impactful community projects, such as “Wiki Loves Assamese Culture” where I am involved as a team member. Participating in this challenge will strengthen my confidence and prepare me to lead similar projects independently in the future.
Tell us about one Wikimedia program, campaign, or initiative you’ve contributed to in a leadership role
[edit]- https://w.wiki/Dgsd This was a workshop given by experienced members to some newcomers about Wikisource. Also an awareness public relations event about Wikisource
What skills or knowledge do you hope to gain from this training?
[edit]- With this training, I hope to acquire skills in program evaluation, impact measurement, and micro-project design. Strengthening these areas will help me evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives like the Indic Oral Culture Project, communicate results through data storytelling, and design smaller, sustainable projects that encourage long-term community engagement
Based on your selected track, what is one challenge you have encountered in either evaluating Wikimedia programs or designing impactful projects? Please share your experience relevant to your chosen track.
[edit]- One of the primary challenges I face is initial project design and documentation for a new wiki project.
How do you plan to apply what you learn after the event?
[edit]- I plan to apply to learn some techniques and ideas in the training so that I can work more strongly in Assamese Wikipedia in the future
(Optional) Are you open to mentorship (either receiving or offering it)?
[edit]- Yes
