Hi Vishnu

We have done outreach sessions at Ahmedabad, Rajkot etc. Also done one
essay writing competition for student and in that there were 300
participation. and the most important thing is that the growth rate of
Gujarati WIkipedia is 150% that is due to dedicated efforts of whole
community.

As Dhavalbhai said we, as a community, have discussed this path a few times
in our monthly web meetings so now we are growing with the sincere
dedication of all community members.

Thanks
Harsh

[Dhaval S. Vyas]

Thank you very much for your kind reply Vishnu,

Yes, outreach programs at schools has always been on our agenda. I know
Shushant has passion for it. We are celebrating Gujarati Wikisource's first
anniversary very soon (official announcement will be sent out), which has
been planned at an  educational institute.

We, as a community, have discussed this path a few times in our monthly web
meetings that I hold every first Sunday of month. We'll discuss it within
community once again and get back to you off the list, keeping interested
parties in loop.

Thanks once again for your kind words and appreciation for Satishchamdra
and his team.

Best Regards,
Dhaval

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Gujarati wikimedians at Science fair, Bharuch

[Vishnu t]

Dear Dhaval,

Thank you for sharing this. Excellent work Satishchandra, Devendrasinh
Gohil and Jayam Patel. Mainly because the way in which you have dovetailed
the Gujarati Wiki outreach event at the primary education level. I feel
this is a useful and more organic model of doing Education programmes. I
think there is a larger shared interest among the Gujarati Wikipedian
friends about Wiki-Education programme, as I heard Sushant Salva also
extensively talking about this.

Dhaval, would you and other Gujarati Wikipedian friends want to consider
developing a model of doing Wiki-Education programme. By this I mean going
deeper and critically reflecting, documenting on the challenges and
learnings, etc. If yes, we can bring in some critical inputs by experts in
the Elementary education sector and facilitate the process. And also in
making all your efforts result in larger and sustained results. Please do
discuss with friends and get back either on or off the list - Warmly, Vishnu

If I may, it is important that there is more cross reporting of the work
being done by various Wikipedians across Indian languages. There is not
much news about the passionate work being done by many of our friends.
While we will work in bringing back Wiki Patrika, I feel it is very useful
to have posts on this list which can act as a source of cross-pollination
of ideas, collaborations and projects. Any ideas and suggestions on this
would be Welcome.

Best,
Vishnu

[Wikimediaindia-l] Gujarati wikimedians at Science fair, Bharuch

[Dhaval S. Vyas]

Hi All,

I would like to share a news with you. Recently Narmadanagar Community
Science Centre, Bharuch, Gujarat organised a science fair for the schools
of Bharuch District. Three of our active Gujarati Wiki community members
participated in the science fair and demonstrate to the teachers and school
children how Gujarati Wikipedia and Wikisource could be utilised by them.
These three users are Satishchandra, Devendrasinh Gohil and Jayam Patel.
Satishchandra is one of the wikimedians recognised for his noteworthy
contributions last year by WMIN.

They participated in the science fair without any external help, and
without any publicity. They talked to shool teachers and students about
what is Wikipedia and wikisource, how can they contribute, how to type in
Gujarati, how wikipedia and wikisource could be useful to them, etc. Also,
they brifed them lightly about the principles of wikis and showed them few
pages as well to provide hands-on experience.

Regards,
Dhaval
