Hou je van Brussel? Doe dan mee aan de Wikipedia Schrijfweek Brussel. Van 4 tot 17 april 2016.
De Wikipedia Schrijfweek is een week waarin gebruikers van Wikipedia zich richten op een bepaald land. Ze schrijven gezamenlijk over onderwerpen die hen interesseren en die te maken hebben met dat land. Maar er zijn themagerichte en lokale versies van de Schrijfweek. En van 4 tot en met 17 april 2016 is er een Schrijfweek over Brussel.
De Brusselse bibliotheken en UiTinBrussel organiseren een reeks schrijfsessies om de achterstand van Nederlandstalige informatie over aan Brussel gerelateerde onderwerpen op Wikipedia weg te werken. Thema’s genoeg: literatuur, architectuur, kunst, muziek, wetenschap, erfgoed...

Again good financial news for our organisation!
The Wikimedia Foundation, our "mother" organisation, has approved our programme for the coming six months, and has also approved the associated budget.
This financial support, together with your donations, has three goals:
- We want Belgian Wikipedians, people interested in free knowledge, and the whole public to know that we exist, and to share
with them what we do.
- We want people that know our organisation to become member.
- We want our members to become active in our organisation and in the Wikimedia environment.
Do you want to know how the money will be spent? Come to our General Assembly, or join a monthly board meeting.
