The Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation announces a Panhellenic school Wikipedia article contest for fifth and sixth grade students of Primary School and all grades of Gymnasium, of all public and private schools in Greece.
Inspired by poetry – Sharing knowledge!
How well do we know how to use Wikipedia? How can we create articles or enrich existing ones with new information? How can we all become co-creators of knowledge in the modern, global encyclopedia?
Wikipedia is the modern form of encyclopedia and gives access to knowledge to a large number of people worldwide to create or complement knowledge. Wikipedia aims to provide freely reusable content, with objective and verifiable data, that anyone can modify and improve. (source: Wikipedia).
The aim of the competition is for students to find information and complete or create articles on Wikipedia for poets, through suggested bibliography and their own sources. The ultimate goal is to enrich knowledge on Greek letters and culture.
*Important note: Before selecting articles, please see the article writing instructions (create an account) and then register on Wikipedia with the usernames you will use. You then apply using the same usernames you registered on Wikipedia.
Students of the fifth or sixth grade of Primary School or the A’, B’, C’ grade of Gymnasium, throughout the country, have the right to participate.
