We need your help organizing Wikimedia Activities in your context! We have two kinds of activities: running on-wiki campaigns in your language, or running editathons!
wikimedia.org and Luisina Ferrante educacionwikimedia.org.ar.
International campaigns work best when local communities organize contribution in their local wiki in the way they know how! We need your help building a #WikiForHumanRights event in your local wiki.

Create a Homepage for the event on your Wiki (consider formatting it with your localized WAM template)
Create a page on your local wiki for letting people sign up and report their contributions. We recommend including:
The campaign is focused on the Core Topic list and Youth Topic Lists. However, if your community wants to create Human Rights topics in general please do! If you let people add their own topics, collect that list of topics on the event page. We invite you to think about ways of overlapping with other campaigns (Wikipedia Asian Month 2019 or 1Lib1Ref), WikiProjects or programs. Please report the event pages in the table as well! |
