I’m reaching out on behalf of Wikimedia NYC, WikiLatinos, and the Miami-Dade Public Library to invite Iberocoop to partner with us for an exciting event on Friday, August 30th from 12–5:30pm at the Miami-Dade Main Library: [🎶] Wikicurious: Editing to the Beat [🎶]
This community building opportunity will celebrate Latin music— and is an invitation for both new and experienced Wikipedians to learn how to edit Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. The day will include: Wikipedia 101 training and Edit-a-thon, where guests will edit live on-site Community networking and culture-sharing A vinyl “open spin” room (think: vinyl karaoke!) and other creative activations We’re looking to partner with mission-aligned organizations who are excited to help bring people into the room. As a partner, you would: Be listed on promotional materials for the event Bring at least 10 people to the event Be welcomed to say a few words during the program Suggest Wikipedia topics/articles that reflect your organization’s mission Optionally host a dance instructor, DJ, or other performer/artist/activation that can energize the space Wikicurious: Editing to the Beat is a joyful and educational program that will strengthen community memory, address content gaps online, and celebrate culture through music and shared knowledge. We’d love to explore how we can collaborate with Iberocoop. Would you be open to chatting more this week or next about a potential partnership?
