Public outreach and education



New England Wikimedians hold a variety of public events, including training sessions, editing workshops, and photo contribution events with the goal of increasing awareness of both our mission and contributing to free knowledge projects in the region.

In addition to our bi-monthly meetings where anyone is invited to come and pitch ideas for events, as well as discuss what they have worked on before. We also host periodic events which are advertised on our Meetup.com page and our Wikipedia event page. One reason that we hold frequent events is so that we can help to build a community around our user group, as well as let people know that editing Wikipedia can be a fun and engaging experience.
