Edit-a-thon in the University of Playa Ancha (June 2017)

Within the objectives defined for the year 2017 is to further deepen the activities developed by the chapter in the Education Program, especially in regard to activities previously tested as "Wikipedia in the University" and "Wikipuentes". This will address three lines of work:

  • Wikipedia in the University: After the successful experiences carried out by Wikimedia Chile between 2014 and 2017 along with different institutions of higher education, it is hoped to be able to advance in new activities, both with institutions which we have already worked and incorporating new projects. Within the objectives 2017-02 the following objectives are expected:
    Goals
    1. Implementation of three Wikipedia in the University programs.
    2. At least two of these programs are new courses.
    3. 70 students involved in the activities.
    4. 40 new/improved articles at the end of the evaluation period.
  • Wikipuentes: To address primary and secondary education, Wikimedia Chile will apply a local version of the successful Wikipuentes program, created by Wikimedia Argentina. This MOOC is intended for primary and secondary education teachers, with a spread over 5 weeks. Since educational activities end in November-December each year, the idea is to use 2017-02 as a time to prepare the platform for its launching in April 2018, when the activity can have a mayor impact.
    Goals
    1. Installing the site www.wikimedia.cl/wikipuentes and adaptating its contents to the local context.
    2. Conduct a trial period with at least 5 teachers and/or people linked to education.
  • 2018 Outreach materials: As in the case of Wikipuentes, it is expected to use 2017-02 to prepare the materials to be used in educational activities during 2018. Among these it is expected to produce audiovisual capsules that allow to indicate the main characteristics of Wikipedia for both online and in-person activities, as well as brochure and other physical material. This will allow us both to support activities such as Wikipedia in the university and to generate a greater impact in the long term.
    Goals
    1. Production of four audiovisual capsules.
    2. Brochures design & printing of for educational purposes.

International Women's Day edit-a-thon (March 2017).

Wikimedia Chile will continue its outreach activities, mainly edit-a-thons and workshops in conjunction with local GLAM institutions.

  • Edit-a-thons and workshops: Two activities during the year are expected, for which we already have conversations with the National Museum of Fine Arts and the University of Chile.
    Goals
    1. Organize 3 outreach mass activities.
    2. At least 100 people participating.
    3. 35 new/improved articles.
  • 2018 Outreach materials: Like the Education case, it is expected to prepare physical and audiovisual material to spread the Wikimedia projects and the chapter in different activities during 2018. It is expected that this merchandising items - such as brochures, pencils, etc. - can foster our projects awareness and thus encourage participation. In addition, it is expected to develop some viral videos that can be used through the chapter's social media.
    Goals
    1. Production of four audiovisual capsules.
    2. Brochures and merchandising design & printing.
