What language Wikipedia projects will you promote to new readers? edit
All languages but mostly english
How will you communicate with new readers? Will you be communicating with them online, in-person, or both? edit
As a lot of students are online these days many of them happen to come across ads. I prefer doing it online but you can send people to tell people about Wikipedia in-person.
