Description
This proposal details the development of the Wikiproject, an initiative within the Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom program, implemented during the second semester of the 2022–2023 academic year. The project engaged three translation groups – English-Spanish/Catalan and French-Spanish/Catalan – in the General Translation 2 course at the Faculty of Philology, Translation, and Communication at the Universitat de València.
Following training by a Wikimedia Meta-organizer from the Valencian Community on Wikipedia editing and translation, students undertook real translation tasks in groups, contributing to their course assessment. This experiential learning approach enabled students to publish their translations on Wikipedia, thereby enhancing their translation competencies and fostering skills in teamwork and real-world project management.
The Wikiproject exemplifies the conference's theme by bridging academic learning with societal engagement through open-access knowledge dissemination. It underscores the role of educational initiatives in connecting scientific endeavors with community needs, aligning with the conference's focus on integrating science and society.
