Wikimedia/Wikipedia is more than just an encyclopedia. It’s a global platform where knowledge is created and shared. But whose stories get told? In Germany, migrant voices are often absent from its pages, leaving gaps in how history, culture, and society are represented. This edit-a-thon is your opportunity to change that.
Whether you're completely new to Wikimedia or have some editing experience, this workshop will guide you through the process of contributing to the world’s largest free knowledge resource. Together, we’ll explore:
- Introduction to Wikipedia & Wikimedia
- How to contribute to Wikimedia
- Finding Reliable Sources
- Wikipedia Etiquette & Community Norms
- How to Edit Wikipedia
This event is open to anyone living in Germany with a migrant background or a passion for inclusive storytelling. By participating, you’ll not only gain valuable digital skills but also help ensure that Wikipedia represents the full richness of our diverse society.
⚠️ What to Bring: A laptop (required for editing), your ideas, and enthusiasm! No technical expertise is necessary—just a willingness to learn and share. Alcoholic drinks are not allowed in WikiBär.
Let’s make knowledge more equitable, one edit at a time. Join us and be part of the movement to diversify Wikipedia!
