Between February 19 – 21 we will improve documentation of topics related to wider Labour movement and tech labour organizing specifically. The scope is quite broad and there will be mentors to help with first time editors! No matter your skills, whether it's copy editing, photography, researching external articles, there's a place for you! See the full details in the Wikipedia Event.
No registration is not mandatory.
The event will be entirely online and consist of a mix of joint meetings and self-paced editing work. The joint meetings to discuss and coordinate over the weekend will be held on Zoom (see the Schedule below):

This is the online Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon organised by Berlin chapter of Tech Workers Coalition to improve coverage of Trade unions, Works council's and labour disputes, particularly in the technology sector. Two of several Wiki Projects relevant to this are WP:LABOR and WP:TECHNOLOGY.
Kick-off and introduction to the event. We'll discuss the general idea of the Edit-a-thon and coordinate syncing points and group work.
Intro to Tech Workers Coalition: for all interested participants who are new to TWC, we'll present what the group does apart from the Edit-a-thon, share upcoming events and how to get involved.
Final meeting, present and celebrate what we achieved over the week-end.
