About the project

Description: The aim of the project is to edit Wikipedia and provide more information and facts about various conflicts across the world and focus on the role and the responsibility of media in conflict resolution. Further we will analyze media propaganda in escalating the conflicts in different parts of the world. We are looking for motivated participants to edit together Wikipedia, it is for beginners as well as experienced Wikipedians. We will focus on the topic of peace brought through media as well as conflicts generated by mass media. It will be an intensive and interesting workcamp.
