Activities edit
Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?
- Expedition Voyage is a project that seeks to provide travel guide information in Ghana and beyond. The project is aimed at improving contributions on Wikivoyage. The reason why we are undertaking this project is because there is less contribution on various key places in Ghana on wikivoyage and we believe we can make a difference by providing more useful travel guide articles to travelers within the space.
- To close the gap we are working on two towns which are Teshie and Nungua. We would practically have an online session where volunteers would be supported with internet bundles and also data (information to edit) in other to ensure that we have a successful project. We are looking at having a series of edit-a-thon.
