Project Plan

edit

Activities

edit

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. How many walks/tours will you organize and how many people on each walk?

Three (3) photo walks will be embarked on with a maximum of fifteen(15) people participating in each walk due to Covid-19 restrictions.

2. What kind of content will the walks focus on? Why is this topic a priority?

Photo Walk

edit
The walks will focus on taking photos of various natural heritage, landscape, plants and animals from the northern part of Ghana where Wikimedia activities are less covered.

Moore Wikipedia(Incubator)

edit
  1. Moore articles must be of readable prose of about 100 words or roughly 3 sentences.
  2. Each article must have at least 3 references.

3. How have you let relevant Wikimedia communities know about this proposal? You are required to provide links to on-wiki pages to inform these communities about your proposed work. Examples of places where this can be done include community discussion pages, affiliate discussion pages, or relevant project talk pages.
You may also provide information about external social media channels you may be using.

Communities will get to know about this proposal through Dagbani Wikimedia User Group social media handles below:


4. How will you let participants know about the photowalk? In what ways will you be communicating with them?
For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.

Participants will be communicated to via WhatsApp, Telegram and calls to participants from areas with poor internet access.

5. What is the plan to ensure images will be used on Wikimedia projects?

All images will be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
Uploaded photos will be linked to articles that relate to those photos on the Moore Wikipedia incubator

6. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

As a young community, most members use their smart phones to take pictures. They also do not have enough requisite skills in photography. We will therefore have two professional photographers who will join us on each photowalk to provide technical support and ensure that images are of high quality for wikimedia commons.

7. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

As newbies in wikimedia and its projects, this photowalk will provide participants with an exciting experience to ginger them up for future projects.

8. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
