Hi folks,
We just published "WikiCamps introduce young Armenians to Wikipedia” on the blog:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/27/wikicamps-young-armenians-wikipedia/
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/27/wikicamps-young-armenians-wikipedia/>
Thanks to Samir Elsharbaty for writing this inspiring story - and to Andrew for his help
in publishing it.
The well-designed structure of these WikiCamps seems to have made them particularly
successful — and I like that students were encouraged to divide their time between editing
Wikipedia and physical activities. It’s that type of thoughtful planning that can make a
world of difference in all our programs. :)
Here are our ideas for social media messages for this story:
Twitter (@wikimedia/@wikipedia):
* WikiCamps introduce young Armenians to Wikipedia, in a cool new program from
@wikimedia_am. (link)
* Introducing WikiCamps: @wikimedia_am engages young editors to contribute to Wikimedia
projects. (link)
Facebook/Google+
• WikiCamps introduce young Armenians to Wikipedia, in a cool new program from
@wikimedia_am. Last summer, 135 students ages 14-20 learned to edit Wikipedia, as well as
practice sports, music and dance. (link)
• How old do you need to be to start contributing to Wikipedia? Last summer, 135 young
adults ages 14-20 created 5,425 new articles while attending Wiki Camps, a promising new
program from Wikimedia Armenia. (link)
• Wikimedia Armenia’s WikiCamp program exceeds expectation by instilling a passion for
Wikipedia in young adults ages 14-20. Last summer, 135 students created 5,425 new articles
as a result. (link)
Feel free to tweak as needed.
Thanks for helping share this story with our community!
Fabrice
