2022-06-10: EDIT-A-THONS DURING HUMAN RIGHTS MONTH ON WIKIPEDIA

The aim of the newly emergingWikiproject Human Rights is to ensure that everyone has access to neutral and up-to-date information on human rights. During the month-long challenge (1st - 30th of June), we want to teach people who care about human rights to edit, and to get new editors for Wikipedia with insight into human rights topics.

If you are interested in this topic and want to learn how to edit Wikipedia, register for an edit-a-thon (editing workshop for the public), where experienced Wikipedians will help you with editing:

Editaton Human Rights on Wikipedia, Monday 20.6.16:00 – 20:00 in Prague and online. We will edit in the pleasant premises ofthe Worklounge on Wenceslas Square in Prague. Please registerhere.

At the same time, we are inviting experienced Wikipedians to the Human Rights Month contest on Wikipedia?

2022-06-16: Wikipedia and its role in the current information jungle in Zlín

On Wednesday, 15 June, a seminar for staff of professional libraries of the Zlín Region took place at the František Bartos Regional Library in Zlín.

The busy programme also included Wikipedia, or rather Lucie Schubert and Pavel Bednařík with their presentation "Wikipedia and its role in the information jungle of today". This contribution was supported by the OSF Foundation.

A big plus of the event was the large participation of librarians. To quote the speakers: "We have never seen so many librarians together before." The contribution of Wikimedia ČR thus reached a large part of the target group of librarians.

During the day, librarians witnessed presentations of a number of progressive library projects aimed at a range of target groups.

At the same time, the Zlín side expressed interest in building on previous cooperation. However, this is not all, because other libraries also expressed interest in cooperation.

Last but not least, our long-term view of Zlín and its library facilities was confirmed - namely that there is great infrastructure and great potential!
