Learn about Wikipedia (WTISD) 2019
We have been invited to attend the annual World telecommunications and informations society day 2019 as representatives of Wikimedia CUG Botswana. We plan to print promotional materials related to Tswana Wikipedia explaining what the project is and how we are building it as volunteers because we want to improve the number of articles it has and bring more people to improve the domain. There will also be a call to action to join the Wikimedia community User group Botswana to help improve the Tswana Wikipedia. We also plan to give instant training to people on how to use Wikipedia from mobile.

We plan to analyze the effectiveness of the project to bring in new people and contributors.
