Ferdinando Traversa — media-activist @ Wikimedia Italia
At least once, we’ve all tried Wikipeia, one of the most colossal projects ever carried by mankind, bright example of a collaborative, open and interactive space. How many of us, though, have actually directly contributed to a Wikipedia page or to one of the other Wikimedia projects?
In this light, highly interactive and informational afternoon, supported by Wikimedia Foundation and featuring an exceptional speaker, we will find out how the community behind Wikipedia works, its rules and processes, and we will concretely try to contribute to its development.
The event is open to everyone, children and families included.
