World Mime Day Wiki edit-a-thon
World Mime Day Wiki edit-a-thon is an international event that should be organised by a local person or institution involved in mime and by a local Wikimedia chapter. The goal is to enrich the content regarding mime on Wikipedia in different languages symbolically on 22nd of March - World Mime Day. The idea came up cooperation between Wikimedia Serbia and Serbian actor Marko Stojanović (President of World Mime Organisation).
What does a local organiser need to do?
[edit]- Agree to organise the event and coordinate all parties during preparation period and realization
- Make contact with relevant institution
- Find few volunteers - they could be students of mime, theatre, film, languages, journalism, history of art, computer sciences or any others who know how to write and have an interest in mime
- Find a space with internet where you and your volunteers can come on the World Mime Day, March 22nd. That can be in your theatre, (mime) studio/school, university, (public) library, co-working space, cafe, park…
- Organizer and volunteers should find relevant sources of information on mime (books, web sites, theatre programs, post-doctoral/PhD/Master research documents, all kind of official documents)
