This year, Wikimedia Serbia is organizing the first online Edu Wiki camp, a three-day event that will be held on October 24, 25, and 31, through the ZOOM platform. The camp gathers students who are interested in actively contributing to the development of the Education Program of Wikimedia Serbia.

During the program of the camp, participants will have the opportunity to learn how Wikipedia can be used as a teaching tool. Working together, in a team spirit, they will upgrade their knowledge that will help them improve their communication, writing, negotiation skills, etc., which they can use to achieve cooperation with professors at the Faculties or other educational institutions.

The Online Edu Wiki Camp is the first event of its kind, considering that Wikimedia Serbia has organized offline camps for the past four years. Encouraged by the new health situation and taking care of the health of the participants in our projects, we decided to use new technologies this year and to hold the camp in an online environment. We hope that we will, more than ever, bring together participants who are motivated to learn and improve their skills despite the obstacles and challenges that are currently imposed on us, just as we are motivated not to miss the opportunity to organize Edu Wiki Camp again this year.
