Activities

edit

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:

1. What is your promotion plan?
You can do a campaign involving billboards or rickshaw announcements to promote a Wikimedia projects, such as Santali Wikipedia, at different places in a city. You can promote an online campaign such as Wiki Loves Monuments on Facebook, Twitter, etc using ads. You can also create gifs/slideshows or other easy to make multimedia files and use them to promote your project on social media.

I plan to organize offline and online promotion and a one-day physical training for students and staffs of the university on what the Wikimedia projects are all about and sensitizing them on how they can contribute to it. The promotion and training will expose and equip them to skills needed for contributing their quotas to Wikipedia and its sisters project.


2. How will you let your community know about the promotion campaign?
Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.

I will make announcement on the Wikimedia User Group Nigeria


3.Do you have any experience in promoting Wikimedia projects either online or offline?
Were you involved in a similar project in the past? Do you have any other experience related to online/offline promotion?

Yes, I do.

I have not involved in an awareness campaign before, however, I believe with my vast knowledge about other Wikimedia projects I can do this. I have other experience related to online and offline promotions but not on Wikipedia projects.
4. What is your post-promotion plan?
What do you plan to do after your campaign ends?

After the promotion and training, the participants will be integrated to form a Wikipedia Fan Club like other institutions of higher learning in Nigeria. During the promotion, Meta page and WhatsApp group will be created for follow-up and information dissemination.


5. 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:
