Program Description
[edit]
Thai Wikimedians have been doing outreach to schools and universities since 2011. Many of Wikipedia editors are students and teacher volunteering in their private capacity. We wish to bring more people and raise the quality of our contribution to the Wikimedia movement by various training/contest projects. We are in a transition from isolated edits made by a handful of enthusiastic students and teacher to more formal/official engagements with schools and universities.
