Viquiprojecte escolar: Bretxa de gènere a la Viquipèdia

During the third semester (April-June 2023) we introduce a pilot wikiproject into the courses of “Problemàtiques Socials” and “Matemàtica aplicada” to the students of 1st of baccalaureate (17 years old) of the high school Institut Vall d’Arús de Vallirana (Barcelona). 80 students will create articles on books and authors banned by gender reasons (in the campaign “ACadaLlibreElSeuPúblic) and produce an infographic about the data of the W&W project on the gender gap in Wikipedia.
