Many women carry with them rich knowledge and experience in diverse fields — Wikipedia is exactly the place to share that knowledge with the world!
This course is designed for women of all ages who wish to learn how to contribute to Wikipedia and strengthen female representation on the world’s largest free encyclopedia. The course aims not only to enrich Wikipedia with high-quality content, but also to promote gender equality and bring more women’s voices into the digital space.
Currently, only about 16% of active editors on Hebrew Wikipedia are women — compared to 51% of women in the general Israeli population. We invite you to join us and help change the statistics!
