Wikimedia UK is committed to supporting our volunteers. To encourage them to teach others how to edit Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, we are running a weekend training workshop. This will take place on the weekend of 23-24 February in Newcastle, and we would particularly encourage anyone from the North East and Scotland to attend.
The workshop will be delivered by a professional training company and aims to improve delegates’ abilities to deliver any training workshop. It’s especially relevant to anybody who already runs Wikimedia-related training, or is very interested in doing so in near future.
The workshop is a chance to:
The course will run from 9:30 am-6:30pm on Saturday and 9am-5pm on Sunday. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. We should also be able to cover travel and accommodation if you let us know in advance.
If you are interested in attending, please indicate your commitment by signing up on this UK wiki page but please note that places are limited.
If you are not able to attend this time but would like to take part in the future, please let me know by email to daria.cybulska@wikimedia.org.uk – we will be offering more sessions in the future.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I can also put you in touch with past participants who will be able to share their experiences with you.
