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

Editors down here are using their mobile phones for editing and it's one of the reasons we decide to hold this trainings because most of the editors are not aware of how to upload photos and videos in wiki Commons.

And we can support them by Data for the trainings and uploads. 6. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

Through our social media groups.

7. 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:

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

This project will help immensely in seeing that our editors know how to upload photos and videos not only that they will also know what to upload and what not to. What is in public domain and what is free to be used in wiki commons.
