Abstract[edit | edit source]
Education and GLAM projects are a major direction for Wikimedia Armenia, we currently have several projects on both education and GLAM. We see the future of WMAM educational projects in further collaboration with different universities and schools, and the expansion of the idea of WikiClubs and WikiClassrooms in all settlements of Armenia. The future of GLAM projects is more collaboration and integration of different GLAM institutions through Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects. In order to picture the context, several projects will be discussed:
- WikiCamps
- WikiClubs
- Teachers’ Wikipedia courses
- Thematic content development initiatives
- GLAM projects
