Me & Wikipedia
edit
I used to be a University Professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador in Quito. During that time, together with Wikimedistas in Ecuador in 2015 we launched the first pilot project using Wikipedia in the classroom at university level. From that more than 300 college students have been involved in using Wikipedia in the classroom editing and creating content both in English and Spanish.
In November 2017 we organized the first edit-a-thon in an Academic setting in Ecuador to create content related to Gender Equality and the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
We will be creating new and exciting projects, feel free to contact me to know more about it.
