1-5 This morning I'm going to tell you a little bit more about the #WikiWomen project we've just started. It is an @EUErasmusPlus project aimed at secundary school students and teachers. @euwikipedia @WikimediaIE @MercatorCentre @FryskeAkademy @Afuk_
2-5 Schools, education organisations and Wikimedia foundations from Fryslân, Basque Country and Ireland are committed to using Wikipedia in minority language areas in Europe as a tool for teaching digital literacy, social engagement and language skills.

3-5 There are too few Wikipedia articles on women, and too few in minority languages. Pupils will be guided through the process of researching women who are not yet featured on Wikipedia and writing articles on them in their minority languages to redress this balance. Image
4-5 In the process they’ll gain vital digital and research skills plus added confidence in using their minority language, as well as contributing to the online presence of their language.
5-5 They also learn about each others languages and cultures. There will be several exchange events for the students and the teachers in the form of Wikithons. where they can work on their articles together under the guidance of experts and Wikipedia organisations. Image
