Project Plan

Activities

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. What will you and other organizers spend your time doing?

Three-day conference at the African College of Commerce and Technology.

First day: introduction to Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and first steps for all the participants.
Second day: Photowalk around the college and the town of Kabale. Uploading the pictures to Wikimedia Commons.
Third day: Putting everything together in the creation of an article about the ACCT.

The organizers will spend their time before the event on preparing the place and the equipment. During the event they will be available for doing presentations, answering questions and introducing people into the projects.

How will you let others in your community know about your project (please provide links to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions)? Why are you targeting a specific audience?

There has been a survey of interest at ACCT about this conference. 52 people signed, altough we expect it to be many more. People from around the college and even Kabale have been notified and big interest has been shown.

What will you have done at the end of your project? How will you follow-up with people that are involved with your project?

We intend to create group at the school that continues Wikipedia related activities with attendees of the conference acting as new instructors.
