Wikipedia:Academy/Mumbai2

The second Wikipedia Academy in Mumbai scheduled to take place on October 15, 2011 at ThatzIt Pvt Ltd, 208, Mastermind 1, Royal Palms, Aarey Colony, Goregaon West from 11am to 6pm.

Wikipedia Academies are public outreach events aimed at engaging academics and other subject-matter experts who are not familiar with wiki culture or online communities. In presentations and workshops, experienced Wikipedia authors teach the participants how to contribute to Wikipedia and orient the audience to Wikipedia’s structures and community policies.

This particular WikiAcademy is aimed at familiarising people with the grassroots of Wikipedia, in collaboration with Digital For Everyone (D4E1) - a digital social initiative by Thatzit.
