Training the Trainer / October 2024 event

This training took place in October 2024 for accredited trainers as a way of upskilling current trainers. Based on feedback we received from trainers, we decided to focus on upskilling existing WMUK trainers rather than recruiting and training a new cohort of trainers.

16 trainers attended some or all of the training over the course of three weeks.

Topics that were covered included;

• Making an impact with minimal time commitments
• How to carry out research to improve the representation of underrepresented groups
• Marketing your events
• Open Space for questions, reflections and learning
• Introduction to Wikidata and batch editing Wikidata using Open Refine
