In collaboration with the Basque Summer University, the ALDEE association of archives, libraries and documentation centres professionals and the EWKE wikipedists association, we had organised this one day workshop on management of free knowledge, with special emphasis on platforms such as Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons, which are well known and widely utilized all over the world for the sharing of information. 

In May, we had an encounter with the El Recetario platform on Makea, which is hugely relevant to open projects developed in Hirikilabs. Continuing the idea of managing open knowledge, this summer we’ve prepared an event that we think will be highly interesting for people working in this area. 

In this session we got to know and work with Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons. It was an open meeting with workshops that provided an opportunity for learning and doing, both for those starting out and people already immersed in this world.
