On 9 March 2026, meemoo, FARO, the Public Library of Bruges and Wikimedia Belgium are teaming up once again for the third edition of We Can Edit: a series of writing sessions dedicated to International Women’s Day.
The goal remains the same: increasing the visibility of women on Wikipedia. But this year brings something new. Heritage institutions are showing more interest than ever in hosting their own session. Fantastic news — but it also brings a challenge: to support all those sessions with high-quality guidance, we need more experienced volunteers.
Why your help matters
During these edit-a-thons we welcome both new and experienced contributors. Your presence as a facilitator makes a huge difference:
- you help newcomers take their first steps on Wikipedia,
- you create a warm, safe and motivating learning environment,
- you directly contribute to reducing the gender gap on Wikipedia.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for volunteers who:
- have experience editing Wikipedia;
- are dutch speaking
- enjoy sharing knowledge and inspiring others;
- can set aside a half a day or a day on 9 March 2026;
