Report from Celestinesucess at Wikimania 2019 in Stockholm
What bring I back from Wikimania for me and my work in Wikipedia?
Bearbeiten...
- I learnt a lot about partnerships and story telling which I intend to apply in helping me establish more sustainable partnerships with organizations and individuals.
- I also learnt that the focus of education projects should not be getting the students to write a lot of articles but to ensure that they are able to acquire useful skills such as writing, online communication, research skills and digital skills. I intend to apply this when implementing Wiki Tours the North Project.
What have I learned in the chosen topic area (international exchange or movement strategy)?

What have I contributed to the conference? What worked out well and what not?
Bearbeiten- As a session presenter
Together with my tandem partner User:Gereon K. I made a presentation on How to teach Wikipedia in languages that are not taught in school in the language space. The attendance was great and unexpected. The presentation was interactive as attendant kept asking questions and making inputs. Upon seeing pictures of our presentation on facebook, Asaf showed interest, who works on increasing contribution to small language Wikipedias as well.
- As a volunteer
- In other areas
- I did a video speaking in Twi for Wiki Tongues team
