More to learn edit
Further details about what I would like to learn.
I'd like to understand how I can become a better organiser, how to organise better campaigns and projects being more effective especially in recruiting new participants and encouraging/training perspective volunteers.
I'd also like to learn how to approach new GLAM institutions in my area and what projects propose to them in order to have a better impact.
I’d also like to learn management skills, which could be useful in organising projects as regional coordinator for Apulia of Wikimedia Italy.
