Offering advice on how to engage underrepresented groups to participate in wiki projects with ease and increase the scope of those projects exponentially according to the available resources.

In this session we’re going to create a parallel between community health and the need for diversity projects. By sharing how communities can improve community health and provide better experience for the newcomers with various approaches, we can help with overall gaps in knowledge and therefore impact the knowledge equity as one of the strategic recommendations. Presentation will be structured in that way, so that we can see challenges, examples and lessons learned, with emphasis on the region with cultural and historical conflicts. The aim is to share concrete examples, but also to make some space for the participants to share their own experiences. The conclusions will be done based on experience within WMRS’ projects, cross-regional collaboration and a planned research project we’re hoping to implement in the near future.
