Training
Want Wikipedia or Wikimedia training?
If you are interested in a training session for your community or workplace, please contact the office.
Keep an eye on the events calendar and Wikimedia UK's Twitter feed; there may already be a training event in your area that you can ask to join.
We are especially keen to work:
- with scholarly societies and charities
- with universities, schools and education-sector bodies
- across the whole of the UK
- with learners of every age
- with community groups including local history groups, conservation groups or "silver surfers"
Specialised audiences
We have customised training events for:
- Staff in museums, libraries or other cultural institutions
- Lecturers, teachers and other educators
- Researchers and public engagement staff
- Software developers
Keep an eye on the events calendar or contact the office with a specific request.
Want to train others?
Our materials for trainers include session plans, materials, advice on training methods and details of past events.
If you see an event in the calendar that you'd like to help with, get in touch with Wikimedia UK's contact person for the event.
We have an ongoing Training the Trainers programme for our volunteers. Any upcoming events will be listed on the events calendar. To register an interest, email daria.cybulskawikimedia.org.uk
