Strengthening Civil Society: Wikimedia and Democracy!
Join this online event on 14 June to explore Wikimedia UK's research around democracy, information literacy, and Wikimedia.
Understand how improving information literacy skills contributes to Wikimedia UK’s vision of a more tolerant, informed and democratic society. Does the work increase participants’ information literacy, and does this, in turn, lead to a more engaged civil society? Wikimedia UK has reviewed the current understanding and frameworks in the intersection of literacies, civic engagement and democratic participation to see how information literacy has been found to support civic engagement.
