On Wednesday, 25th of February, STUK, in collaboration with meemoo and Wikimedia Belgium, brought together lovers of dance and heritage for an inspiring writing session. The goal? To give dance a more prominent place on Wikipedia, the world’s most consulted encyclopedia.
The day began with an engaging introduction by Bart Magnus (meemoo), who introduced participants to the world of Wikipedia and taught them the ropes of article writing.
Relevant topics and sources were then discussed, followed by the first writing exercises. Participants added new information to existing pages or worked on translations.
After a well-deserved lunch break, the afternoon was spent on editing work, in which there was plenty of writing, improving and refining.
During the afternoon, no fewer than ten pages were edited and one completely new page was created. And the work doesn’t stop here: several participants spent the next few days putting the finishing touches on their articles.
It was a productive and inspiring day that literally and figuratively gave dance heritage more space!
