Multi-day symposiaEdit

Wikipedia Academy (DE, SE, IL, AR)Edit

General event dimensions
Description Wikipedia Academies are public outreach events, usually lasting one or two days, designed to coach academics and other subject ­matter experts in how to contribute to Wikipedia, as well as to encourage them to view Wikipedia as friendly. Often Wikipedia Academies are focused on encouraging contributions from a particular language or on a specific subject matter. Their purpose is to increase the quality and – to a lesser extent – quantity of articles in Wikipedia. Wikipedia Academies are normally staged as conferences, in a single location, for 80–200 people at a time. Typically, a Wikipedia Academy is organized by the local Wikimedia chapter together with a notably credible external partner organization which can provide subject ­matter expertise and authority. The reputation of the partner organization can help to ensure that the target group becomes interested in the event, and contact lists can be shared to maximize the impact on the target audience.
Intended Audience Outside parties (academics and students)
Speakers Combination of community members and outside parties
