Wikimedia Serbia and the Center for Career Development of the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade have been implementing an internship program for two years. The program includes training on Wikipedia editing and an intensive program of activities that includes weekly meetings and writing articles on Wikipedia in a period of five weeks. After completing the goals, students receive a certificate, and the activity is evaluated as an extracurricular activity within the contribution to the wider community. This type of cooperation is specific because it does not take place within a specific faculty subject, but students of all fields and years can participate in it. The activity has so far proved to be motivating for the participants, and this year 10 students are participating in it. Because it takes into account the health of the participants in its projects, Wikimedia Serbia has decided that the internship will take place online this time.
