Let's teach seniors to write Wikipedia in 2023

Opening up the digital world for seniors. We have already taught more than 600 of them how to write Wikipedia for free. They are gaining a meaningful new hobby, friends and passing on the wisdom they have gained in life. Will you join us in this unique project?


Seniors and Wikipedia? A surprisingly good combination

Seniors often have plenty of free time and are interested in using it in a meaningful way. And Wikipedia is getting richer because of them. The most enthusiastic graduates of our courses have written hundreds of articles on personalities, nature, art or anything else they enjoy. Often these are areas they have spent a lifetime specializing in. Through the project, they gain a sense of belonging, purpose a hobby and the joy of a legacy that they leave behind.

Become a patron of seniors who are not afraid of challenges

If you think that the experience and knowledge gained by seniors should not go to waste, become a patron of the project. You will give them a new tool for self-fulfilment and a chance to contribute to the world's largest online encyclopaedia. Our goal is to teach every Czech senior who wants to write Wikipedia how to do it. Simply because it makes sense.

In the words of Helena, a graduate of one of our courses, "No, I think it's a really wonderful thing. Really, I think so. I really do, and I'm glad that my grandson made me do it."
