Project summary

edit

Briefly summarize your project proposal.

  • Azare is the second largest city in Bauchi State after Bauchi, the capital of the state. There's no Wikimedia project that has ever taken place in Azare town and surrounding areas. I intend to carry out a one-day awareness project about Wikipedia in the city of Azare, where we will visit some places in the city and share flyers with the people. We will also conduct a two-day training session where we will train the participants in all aspects of Wikipedia.
