Growing Wikimedia's Readership/Analysing the Wikipedia Street Take Over
Szymborska · Sunday 12:30 - 13:00
session recording

Description

edit

The Wikipedia Street Take Over; Learning, Unlearning and Relearning. The Wikipedia Street Take Over Project [1] was a 60-seconds (for each individual) video story-telling that saw me as the presenter go into the streets of Abuja, Nigeria and find out the Wikipedia awareness of Nigerians and publish on social media in Igbo language [2]. The session will be a splendid opportunity to analyse the project, find out what worked, what could have worked and what didn't work.
