The next <A HREF="https://wcc-uk.blogs.sas.ac.uk/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Women’s Classical Committee</A> Wikipedia Project (<A HREF="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Women%27s_Classical_Committee" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">#WCCWiki</A>) workshop and editathon will be held at the Department of Greek and Latin, UCL, on September 20th 2018. The workshop will be led by Kelly Foster (an experienced Wikipedia trainer), Claire Millington (KCL) and Emma Bridges (ICS).
This workshop will take place from 12-5pm. Exact schedule TBC.
Wikipedia holds around 200 biographies of classicists, of which, at the start of this initiative, only approximately 10% were dedicated to women. This is the WCC UK’s third event of its kind, taking steps towards redressing the gender imbalance by training and encouraging classicists to edit Wikipedia with this focus.
Places are limited, so registration through Eventbrite is essential.  This event is free to attend thanks to the support of the Leventis Fund. Refreshments will be provided. The workshop will take place in G09 (Otto Skutsch Room), <A HREF="https://www.ucl.ac.uk/maps/gordon-house" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gordon House, UCL.</A> The venue is on the <A HREF="https://www.disabledgo.com/access-guide/ucl/gordon-house" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ground floor and access is step free</A>.

Child-friendly policy
The Women’s Classical Committee UK is committed to making our events as inclusive as possible, and recognises that the financial and practical challenges of childcare often impede people from participating in workshops and conferences. Anyone who needs to bring a dependent child or children with them in order to participate in one of our events is usually welcome to do so, but we ask you to inform of us this in advance so that we can take them into account in our event planning and risk assessment. The safety and well-being of any children brought to our events remain at all times the responsibility of the parent or carer. While we do our best to ensure that rest and changing facilities are available for those who may need them, this will depend on the individual venue we are using.  Again, please contact us in advance to discuss your needs, and we will do our best to accommodate them.
If you would like to bring a child or children to this event, please contact the organisers (Claire Millington, Emma Bridges and <A HREF="mailto:katharine.shields.13@ucl.ac.uk" TARGET="_blank" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Katharine Shields</A>) as soon as possible to discuss possible arrangements.
