Overview - Within its mission and activities, Wikimedia Serbia realizes three programs, through which it intensively works to promote volunteering and integrate the Wiki Platform into the work of educational and cultural institutions. They have a great influence on the youth and the general public, and therefore they can raise awareness about the spread of free knowledge and the possibility that we can all contribute to the increase of free content and equal access to knowledge. Through its Education program, Wikimedia Serbia cooperates with schools, faculties and organizations dealing with non-formal education in order to introduce Wikipedia to ever-increasing number of pupils, volunteers and students. In addition to the students, active participation is also taken by teachers and professors in order to modernize their teaching, work on their professional development and enable students to improve their skills. The greatest share in raising awareness on free knowledge is held by cultural institutions (museums, libraries, archives, and other institutions of public importance), which started the cooperation throughout our GLAM program. The mentioned institutions have very important cultural heritage in their archives, which they are sharing through Wikimedia projects and thus increasing their visibility. Since Wikimedia Serbia is a volunteer organization and part of an international volunteer movement, the organization strives to grow volunteering, which is implemented through all three programs, and especially within the Community Support program.

EDUCATION PROGRAM

The Education Program is intended for scientific and educational institutions, primarily targeting teachers and students of secondary and higher education institutions. The goals of the program are directed towards the growth and development of Wikimedia projects by enriching the content from an academic perspective and adding new users from academia. Projects within the Education Program are adjusted to the level of education and specific target group and they are being implemented through training and workshops on Wikipedia editing, seminars, edit-a-thons and other events. Each of the projects is aimed at one of the three main target groups:

Pupils and students represent the greatest target group we are currently working with. In most cases they are being introduced to editing Wikipedia for the first time, and our goal is to use the project Wikipedia in Schools as a way to encourage them to continue editing even after the project has ended, but also to interest them in volunteering on various wiki projects.
Teachers, professors and assistants are a very important target group, because they represent the best way to approach students. Although they rarely continue to actively edit Wikipedia after an accredited seminar, we often collaborate with them on the Wikipedia in Schools project, which they see as a chance to modernize their teaching resources and make teaching innovative.
Volunteers are a target group that mostly helps with the realization of activities in the education program. They are mostly students of the final years at the university and most often their activities are related to the Wiki-ambassador position, the promotion of the project Wikipedia in schools, and assistance in the implementation of training and seminars.

Wikipedia in schools Goal: Introducing Wiki-projects to academic circles Description: Students write their papers on Wikipedia or other Wiki projects, and in return receive points within their subject exams in school or university. Accredited seminars Goal: educating teachers to work independently in order to implement Wiki-projects in their institution Description: project involves organization of accredited seminars Application of online wiki tools as a didactic means in teaching throughout Serbia. The seminars are accredited by the Institute for Advancement of Education (State Institute for professional development of the teachers) and teachers gain 8 points for professional development by attending it. These seminars are all-day workshop on how to edit Wikipedia and implement it in class. The seminars are designed exclusively for teachers. Edu Wiki camp Goal: recruit new Wiki ambassadors and education volunteers and strengthen connections between them Description: The purposes of this camp are attracting new Wiki ambassadors, additional training of current ones, as well as strengthening the network of education volunteers. Camp program has many different topics, which involves editing Wikipedia training, manners of cooperation with educational institutions, technical skills regarding realization of Education program etc…

Outcomes of realized projects

Wikipedia in school

Due to the nature of the project, the activities included the first semester (January) and the second semester (February - June). In January, all activities within Wikipedia in school were focused on monitoring edits from that semester and planning workshops for the second semester. In the period from January to June 2019, a total of 51 workshops were held in secondary schools, high schools and faculties. Additional activities have also been implemented:

Publishing video tutorials on editing Wikipedia has been done in cooperation with the High School of Electrical Engineering and Computing. In agreement with the school, we have gathered a team of six students and four teachers who worked on tutorials, and they had all the facilities of the school at their disposal, in terms of narration-recording studios, all programs for screen capture, assembly, production and post-production. The production of the tutorials was successfully completed, after which they were published on our official YouTube channel and Wikimedia Commons. We are currently in the final stage of creating another batch of tutorials that will include other topics related to editing Wikipedia.
At the initiative of students who participated in the Wiki Student project at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, cooperation was established with the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad. We haven't previously cooperated with this University, and it is the second largest university after Belgrade.
After an accredited teacher training seminar, two teachers of the Seventh Belgrade Gymnasium were interested in applying what they learned in practice, thus cooperation with the Seventh Gymnasium in Belgrade was realized.
Thanks to the engagement of Wiki ambassadors, students of the Mathematical Grammar School had the opportunity to work on the Wikidata project for the first time.
Long-standing cooperation with the High School of Electrical Engineering and Computing has been expanded with editing Wikidata, which is important for the popularization of this project among students.
Presentations at the International Scientific Wiki Conference in Porto and the Conference on Digital Humanities at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade were held. On both of them, representatives of Wikimedia Serbia presented the project of professional development of teachers through an example of the accredited seminar. Participation in conferences is important for increasing the visibility of Wikimedia Serbia, because we usually have the opportunity to publish a paper in the textbooks on the topic of using Wikipedia in the classroom. That enriches our list of scientific papers in Serbian about Wikipedia and gives us a good base for further scientific work. Also, organizers of the second conference will make courses for each topic presented (including ours about Wikipedia) and those courses will be publicly available on the Internet. This will allow anyone to learn more about Wikipedia.
Cooperation with the Faculty of Sports of the University Union-Nikola Tesla was made within the project Olympic Sports through History. The project is independently run by the representatives of this faculty, which is the ultimate goal of granting funds to the educational institutions.
Partnership with the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications was made and we organized a workshop in the EU Info Center in Belgrade. Partners on this activity were Red Cross of Serbia and Unitas fund. Realizing the cooperation with state institutions is of the great benefit for Wikimedia Serbia, since it is possible to apply for grants and additional funds at the same institutions.
Partnership with the Belgrade Center for Security Policy was made and we organized a workshop on editing Wikipedia about the security sector reform. The workshop was one of the activities on a project supported and financed by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

Accredited seminars

In the first half of 2019, the following activities were carried out:

Three accredited seminars were held in the elementary school "Sava Šumanović", secondary school "Rade Končar" and the Institute for Modern Education in Belgrade. The first two seminars were held thanks to the recommendation given by the participants of the previous accredited seminars. Namely, some of the teachers of the mentioned schools participated in seminars held in other institutions in 2018, after which the school management contacted us in order to organize seminars in their own school. In the elementary school "Sava Šumanović", partnership was already made on the project Wikipedia in schools before the seminar was held. The seminar in the Institute was held in partnership with this institution we already established cooperation in 2018. The Institute has so far proved itself to be an extremely reliable partner of Wikimedia Serbia in terms of providing adequate space for seminars as well as participants who attend it.
Monitoring the implementation, supporting teachers in order to continue using the Wikipedia in teaching helped us to establish clearer criteria for the target group we want to attend our seminars, most of all in terms of computer literacy.

Edu Wiki camp

Activities on this project were undertaken in the period from March to June 2019. The location of the campsite was chosen (Kladovo) and it was decided that the duration of the camp will be shorten in order to achieve higher number of participants than in the previous years. We realized that this project is the one that brings most active volunteers and Wiki ambassadors and we also believe it is important for strengthening the volunteer capacities of Wikimedia Serbia. Edu Wiki camp, which is planned from 15th to 18th July will be diverse in terms of activities, workshops and lectures. The focus will be on introducing participants to each other through various activities (quizzes, mini-competitions, team building activities, editing marathons). We will also focus on the possibility of their engagement within various projects in Education program. Thus, the representatives of Wikimedia Serbia will talk about Wiki ambassadors, accredited seminars, Dashboard and other important things. At this year's Edu Wiki Camp, we strengthened the trainers' capacities with new Wiki ambassadors and Edu Wiki volunteers. This is why we want to encourage and motivate active volunteers to take an active part in the work of Wikimedia Serbia in the future. One of the factors of motivation is that some of last year's camp participants at their faculties received additional ECTS credits for volunteer activities on Wiki projects. These points are included in the diploma supplement after completing the studies.

Contributing to Wikidata is recognized as a good way to improve students' skills by using new and open learning platforms

"In addition to writing Wikipedia articles, students also worked on editing pages on Wikidata by adding references, statements, and descriptions. Contribution to Wikidata is recognized as a good way to improve students' skills by using new and open learning platforms, which can help students in their future work and understanding of problems in a particular field. The basic idea was that students understand what is Wikidata and how it is created. One of the biggest challenges during the workshops was the fact that we have not worked with students on this project so far. However, this example shows that students understood the future of Wikidata in the right way."

Ana Miletic, teaching assistant at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Applied Studies

I consider that workshops of this type are a good indicator that Wikipedia can be useful in different fields

"I think that workshops of this type are a good indicator that Wikipedia can be useful in different fields. This is just one example of how the Internet has become an indispensable part of informing ourselves about different topics. I would particularly like to point out the excellent communication with the representatives of Wikimedia Serbia and the participants during the workshops that showed a high level of motivation and made the workshop interactive."

Emili Fink, UNITAS fund

I liked that this kind of training opens the door to further cooperation

"I liked that this kind of training opens the door to further cooperation and helps us to acquire knowledge applicable in other spheres of study and life in general. This gave us the opportunity to participate in an excellent project whose goal is actually to create something that might be useful to someone else."

Jelena Živić, Wiki intern at the Faculty of Philosophy

Successful stories

Story: The end of the project at the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš did not mean the end of work on Wikipedia

Last year, professors Jelena Petrović and Marina Ćirić from the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš received a grant from Wikimedia Serbia for the implementation of the project at this faculty. The cooperation was excellent, and the professors decided to continue with the activities at the faculty. In this regard, they organized a workshop on editing Wikipedia during the anniversary of the Department of Pedagogy. The workshop was organized for students and future students in order to raise awareness about teaching with Wikipedia and the popularization of Wikipedia among this target group. The workshop was organized and implemented by our volunteers from Niš and the region, together with professors. This example also shows how we have worked on strengthening volunteer activities in this part of Serbia.

Story: An accredited seminar inspired the professor to launch a Wiki project

After an accredited seminar held at the Institute for Modern Education in Belgrade, Katarina Džajić, a professor of the School for Tourism and Hospitality in Belgrade, decided to implement Wikipedia in school project in the school. Immediately after the seminar, the project got support from the school administration. The workshop was attended by 40 students of the final years of studies who wrote articles on Wikipedia in the field of the management and hospitality.

Challenges and lessons learned

Challenge: Cooperation with other non-governmental organizations

One of the main goals for the previous and this school year was to increase the visibility of the Education Program of Wikimedia Serbia. Through the presence at various events and conferences we wanted to make more partnerships that can bring us new forms of cooperation. We tried to attract even more faculties and secondary schools from smaller towns and to expand the target group and to present our projects in environments where people do not have the opportunity to participate often in projects like ours. In addition, we have established cooperation with a number of non-governmental organizations and institutions dealing with specific topics. Through these activities, we have realized that there is very strong motivation among the non-governmental sector to popularize Wikipedia in the right way and to enrich certain topics on Wikipedia. We realized that there is an interest in involving NGOs and institutions in the Education Program, but also that Wikimedia Serbia needs to provide more technical and organizational support in the realization of these activities in order to maximize this interest. This also means we learned that we have to look for the innovative and new models of partnerships within the Education Program.

Challenge: Greater assistance of Wikimedia Serbia in creating Wikipedia tutorials

After the successful first phase of creating tutorials on editing Wikipedia, Wikimedia Serbia started with the second phase of creating tutorials. Project will be done in partnership with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Applied Studies. During this phase new topics about editing Wikipedia will be covered. In the first phase, four university professors formed a group of 6 students engaged in this project. Although the production of the tutorials was demanding in terms of organization and production, the school offered all its resources. The tutorials are uploaded on the Wikimedia Commons and YouTube and will be used to enrich the activities in the Education Program, but also for educating the wider community. During this experience, we learned how to organize a group of students volunteering in such a demanding project. After that, we started to make different tutorials in the second phase, with different approach, in order to be more efficient, quicker and to finish the project with the same success. First of all, this meant greater assistance and the presence of representatives of Wikimedia Serbia when students were making content in order to minimize the percentage of errors in the design phase.

What's next?

We plan to complete the tutorials for editing Wikipedia using wiki code which we do in partnership with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Applied Studies. We are planning to use these tutorials for educational purposes, but we are also planning to create more tutorials for editing Wikipedia with visual editor, tutorials for Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons and other Wiki projects. During the summer, we will work on the realization of the Edu Wiki Camp, which will have a diversified program. One of the goals is to get new Wiki ambassadors who will spread the Wiki idea and who will help us with establishing new partnerships and with the expansion of the entire program. Our plan is to explore the possibility of rewarding Wiki ambassadors with additional ECTS points for their volunteer work.

During the summer we will work on translating the Wiki ambassadors' manual in English in order to enable the global community to localize it in their own languages. In addition, we will work on better monitoring of student Wikipedia articles and their quality. In addition, our goal is to introduce more Wiki projects in the Education Program in the next school year, as we did this year with Wikidata.

GLAM PROGRAM

GLAM is a standard program implemented by Wikimedia Serbia, based on the reputation of successful projects in other Wikimedia chapters. The diversity of this program enables a wide range of cooperation with cultural institutions and other similar organizations, as well as individuals. The aim of the program is to develop two-way cooperation in creating and improving the availability of cultural and historical heritage of Serbia on the Internet. The focus of Wikimedia Serbia will be to achieve stable and long-term cooperation with the institutions of culture, primarily those based on the GLAM acronym, as well as all other cultural institutions that want to participate in the creation of open and free content.

Wiki Loves GLAMers Goal: Achieving cooperation with cultural institutions in order to increase the corpus of free knowledge, to create and improve the access to the cultural and historical heritage on the Internet, i.e. on Wiki projects. Description: Release of materials by the institutions and individuals, digitization of content, organization of edit-a-thons and other similar activities. Edit-a-thons Goal: Increasing the content on Wikipedia on certain topic, in collaboration with culture institutions, which provide quality literature, or sources for creating articles. Description: Joint work of volunteers and GLAM employees who edit articles on Wikipedia on a particular topic within one or more days. Cultural institutions give literature and release materials for the illustration of written and improved articles. Wikipedian in residence Goal: Establishing various forms of cooperation with cultural institutions, digitization and release of different types of files, education of employees on free knowledge and free culture.
