Wikimedians of Romania and Moldova User Group (WMROMD) has in its plan for 2019 a series of educational projects, that will be developed in partnership with the most important universities and other cultural and scientific institutions.
The program supports achievement of some of the main strategic objectives of theWMROMD-UG, namely to develop writing of good quality content on Romanian Wikipedia as well as to alleviate structural geographical and gender gaps, by attracting contributors from those region of our countries (Romania and Republic of Moldova) that are underrepresented in Romanian Wikipedia today.
