Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand (WANZ) have opened funding applications for the Wikipedian at Large, a role that takes Wikipedia to the people.

The Wikipedian at Large is a variant of the Wikipedian in Residence role, and spends between six and twelve months doing short projects with different groups and organisations, sometimes all around New Zealand, sometimes in a particular region.

They might spend one week helping a gallery load images of artworks into Wikimedia Commons, the next running training workshops for school librarians, and the one after that in the bush getting students to take openly-licensed bird photos.

If this sounds good to you, check out how to apply on the WANZ website. Proposals are due by 30 September 2024 and we will announce the successful applicant by 15 October 2024.
