Could you explain how this activity would further Wikimedia UK's goals regarding free content? --Tango 17:47, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Note, in 2010 the British Museum did welcome a coach of French schoolchildren to help with the creation of articles for the French Wikipedia. This had firm outcomes for the improvement and creation of non-English articles. Please consider what the outcomes you would want to plan for in this trip. --Fæ 08:35, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. Although we would in principle be willing to fund the travel expenses for this visit, as Tango and Fæ say we would need to understand what the outcomes would be in terms of Wikimedia UK's object of sharing free knowledge. If this could be linked with e.g. creating and/or expanding relevant Wikipedia articles, or expansion of other free knowledge repositories (e.g. the other Wikimedia projects), then that would be great.
