🏢 About the local organisation
Service Civil International and the international voluntary service movement in general turned 100 years last year. In this camp, we want to give visibility to the last century of volunteering by writing Wikipedia articles about SCI, the peace and volutneering movement. This online camp is part of the bigger Wikipedia for Peace project, a cooperation between SCI and Wikimedia. We will get to know Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects and through working together with the SCI archives we will get to know the history of the peace movement better.
💼 What the programme involves
Doing research for Wikipedia articles online, writing new articles and improving existing ones. The project organizers will prepare a list of articles around people and topics that are related to SCI and that are relevant enough to have articles on Wikipedia. Every day we have ca. 3 hours in the afternoon (Central European Time) where we gather in Zoom. And in the mornings you can work individually or in small groups. You dont have to have knowledge on Wikipedia already. It is crucial for us that you are motivated to participate throughout the whole project, that you are not missing on any day of the project, that you enjoy writing and that you are interested in the history of SCI and the peace movement
