I MediaWiki Workshop

Cia. das Índias (UFF), 2/29/2024

Held in February 2024, the event consisted of a collaborative workshop dedicated to analyzing and improving the Indigenous Women on Wikipedia Lab Main Page on Portuguese-language Wikiversity. Participants came together to identify and discuss possible improvements to the page, aiming to enrich the content and representation of indigenous women on-wiki. The aim was to foster a collective discussion, taking into account the diversity and accuracy of the information presented, and to promote a more comprehensive and accurate representation of Indigenous women's contributions to society and culture.

Edit-a-thon: Teaching Indigenous History

History Institute (UFF), 4/10/2024

This event was co-hosted by Wiki Movimento Brasil and aimed at encouraging undergraduate students in History at the Fluminense Federal University (UFF) to improve entries about Indigenous people and topics. The students were enrolled in the course Teaching Indigenous History, taught by Professor Dr. Elisa Frühauf Garcia, in 2024. The goal was to expand knowledge about underrepresented cultures on Wikimedia platforms. The edit-a-thon consisted of two workshops led by the wikimedian Juliana Cunha.
