Outreach Wikipedia Edit-a-thon 4 World Hearing Day 2023

In contribution to Wiki4WorldHearingDay2023 campaign

Join us in making information about hearing and other health communication initiatives freely available to everyone. This event will be the launch of a global initiative to celebrate World Hearing Day 2023. Help us improve Wikipedia content related to health topics. Participants are also encouraged to translate pages from the English Wikipedia into other languages. As the Wikipedia skills can help with other health campaigns, participants are free to work on other topic areas. Contributions focused on hearing will be highlighted in the World Hearing Day 2023 report of activities. You are required to create your Wikimedia account, pre-register free-of-charge (see links below) and bring your personal computer. Even small contributions help and you can start today!
