Marco Chemello
I'm involved since 2016 in tutoring/teaching Wikipedia courses for multiple universities and GLAMs, and recently in the Wikimedia Italia Certified trainers program. Active on it_wiki since 2004, as a Wikimedian in residence I collaborated on many OpenGLAM projects in Italy (more recently with the Museo Egizio of Turin) and in the Empowering Italian GLAMs project (Tutti i musei su Wikipedia). I'm a member of the Wikimedia Italia staff.
Session
How can the competencies of Wikimedia trainers supporting open knowledge be recognised? How can their skills be enhanced? How can the training offered be guaranteed to be of a high standard? How can new volunteers become trainers? How can a list of trainers be defined to recommend to institutions and schools? In 2024, Wikimedia Italia certified its first 12 trainers for the Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap projects. This is a presentation of the method and how it can be replicated.
