Are you curious about how you can contribute to reliable information on gender equality, gender equality and women's history on Wikipedia? Would you like to contribute to an inclusive online encyclopaedia? Then these writing afternoons are for you!
Each writing afternoon focuses on a topic, about which you can follow a short introduction. Then we will get to work ourselves: under the guidance of experienced Wikipedia editors, you will learn how to write and edit articles. You will be given useful tips, a clear manual and suggestions on what to write about. Whether you are a beginner or already experienced - everyone is welcome!
