Hi Juan, Now we have started the preparations for WikiGap 2020<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap>! This is the third year in a row that this campaign is organized. You receive this email because you have taken part previous years, and we would be very happy to have you on board again! WikiGap is, as you probably know, an initiative aiming to close the gender gap of Wikipedia. It is a cooperation between Wikimedia Sverige, the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Swedish embassies and Wikimedia affiliates and volunteers around the world. It was first organized in March 2018 and now we would like to do it for the third time! We are planning to organize several Wikipedia edit-a-thons around 8 March 2020. The purpose of the edit-a-thons is to create more articles about women, as a way of building a more gender-equal Internet and a more gender-equal world (a manual can be found here<http://www.swemfa.se/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/manual-2019.pdf>). If you have already decided upon a date and started the preparations, please fill in the Events<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap/2020/Events> list at Meta. In that way, we know if you are planning an event and can reach out to you with more information. If you still have contact with the Swedish embassy, feel free to reach out to them as well! If you don’t, we can make sure to get the right contact details for you. In that case, reach out to us and we will help you. If you don’t think that you will be the main organizer of WikiGap in your country or if you are a part of a larger team, I, as part of coordinating the WikiGap, would like you to please help share this information with the right individuals. Join WikiGap on Programs & Events Dashboard to show impact During 2018 and 2019 we had a WikiGap campaign up on Programs & Events Dashboard to facilitate running and keeping track of all the events on various language versions. Of course we are going to create a new one this year and we will return with more information about this soon. Choice of date(s) The 8 March is just the starting point of the campaign. If the embassy and you identifies a better date to cooperate and implement a WikiGap event during 2020 then that also works. In Sweden, we will most likely organize the event on 6 March, as 8 March is a Sunday this year. Remember also that it doesn’t need to be a one off event: if you are interested, explore with the Swedish embassy the possibilities of organizing a series of events around gender and diversity gaps! The gender gap does unfortunately not end just because the International Women’s day does so. WikiGap Challenge and Photo Exhibition As last year, we will also initiate a WikiGap Challenge, encouraging article creation on women throughout the Spring. Last year, the winner Andriy Hrytsenko<https://si.se/en/wikigap-has-brought-us-27-000-articles-closer-to-a-gender-equal-internet/> got a Wikimania scholarship as reward. The challenge will be online and coordinated on Meta, as last year<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge>. For the first time this year, we will also produce a photo exhibition, in digital and physical form, to highlight several of the great articles that have been written. Reach out to us if you have interest in hosting it! Our preliminary idea is to produce it with A4 photos to print and text in two languages, the original and English, besides.
