Activities edit
- What kind of event(s) or activities are you planning to hold for your Wikipedia 20 event? Please let us know if these events include a meetup, edit-a-thons, workshops, photowalks, contests, or any kind of campaign.
For the 20th anniversary of Wikipedia we are planning to organize a multi-city online edit-a-thon focused on the people related to the LGBTQIA+ art – artists, curators, researchers etc. The event, hosted by the Caryatid Collective, will take place on the January 16th, 2021 and it will be a conglomerate of events co-organized with local working groups established for the purpose of this event. We are expecting to have the maximum of 10 groups in cities like: Wrocław, Warsaw, Kraków, Szczecin, Lublin, Opole, Łódź, Katowice, Poznań, Gdańsk. Each group is expected to count from 5 to 10 participants, so there will be the maximum of 100 participants in total. In each city there will be a person or a group of individuals invited to coordinate the event. Also a partner institution/organization will be invited to support it, like ZŁOTY KIOSK (Wrocław), local_30 (Warsaw), Muzeum Sztuki (Łódź), Galeria Sztuki Współczesnej (Opole) or Instytut Korfantego (Katowice). Together, we will create a list of suggested articles and prepare the necessary source materials to be shared with the participants. The Caryatid Collective will provide all the local groups with the organizational and promotional framework, graphic design, prints and food, as well as the necessary training during an online editing workshop in a week of advance. We will also provide all the edit-a-thon's participants with the necessary technical support on the event's day and consult articles until the end of February. The due date for the finished articles will be February 14th, 2021. In the week before the event there will be an online public lecture on the LGBTQIA+ art by an invited guest lecturer, translated into Polish Sign Language (PJM) and published in Commons.
- If participants will be contributing to Wikimedia projects (such as in an edit-a-thon), do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event? (If you are not doing this kind of event, please write N/A or leave the section below blank)
We are experienced both in organizing edith-a-tons (the list can be seen at https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiprojekt:GLAM/Kolektyw_Kariatyda/Wydarzenia) and training in editing Wikipedia and Commons.
- If participants will be contributing to Wikimedia projects (such as in an edit-a-thon), do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them? (If you are not doing this kind of event, please write N/A or leave the section below blank)
All the participants will work with their private equipment (computers, internet). The participants that have already collaborated with the Caryatid Collective are trained in editing and can provide high quality content. Newbies will be provided with a dedicated online workshop as well as prerecorded training materials. Also, we will provide all the edit-a-thon's participants with the necessary technical support on the event's day and consult articles until the end of the following month. A list of suggested articles together with a selection of source materials will be provided.
- How will you promote and let participants know about your Wikipedia 20 event? Please describe or link to the spaces you will be using to inform your community about your activities. Please note there are resources available to support your communications for Wikipedia 20 events.
Participants will be able to find out information about the events thanks to the Caryatid Collective's social media: facebook and instagram and our page in Wikipedia. There will also be a promotional support via the channels of the Polish Wikimedia Association (bulletin, mailing list, social media). We are going to distribute electronic posters via emails with invitations. We will publish information in media like: Wroclawianin.info, Wroclaw.pl, Co jest grane, Gazeta Wrocławska, Radio Wrocław, Magazyn Miasto Kobiet, Arteon, Artpunkt, Dwutygodnik, Obieg, Magazyn Sztuki, ArsForum, Codzienniki Feministyczne, Fundacja Feminoteka, Fundacja Kobieca eFKa. Local grups will be asked to promote their events accordingly, using local media.
