Highlights[edit]
- First WikiUNAM Editathon
The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM, in Spanish) is Latin America's largest public university. It has a centuries-old history and great worldwide prestige.
Wikimedia Mexico since 2011 has searched and developed Wikimedia projects with several faculties of the university. Having great success with Faculty of Philosophy and Literature[1] on the implementation of the Wikipedia Education Program.
Finally in 2015 the chapter took the leap from individual work to a full and more ambitious relationship with the university faculties. The First WikiUNAM Editathon was the first activity that officially opened this new relationship.
The event was lead by Coordinación de Educación Abierta y a Distancia (CUAED, in Spanish) and was held at UNAM Convention Center with the attendance of 219 persons at the venue and 199 online, including students and teachers but many researchers which produced 75 new articles in Spanish Wikipedia and made a total of 1154 editions to 6 different Wikimedia projects.
