I was reading interview with Ljubljana’s head of university fot 3rd life period (=mostly retired attendees seeking additional knowledge http://www.univerzazatretjeobd-drustvo.si/english.html). She stated that there is lots of unused knowledge gathered in attendees’. I compared this to Slovenian Wikipedia and my young daughter’s needs (she is not fluent in English yet) and figured out that they might help to improve Slovenian Wikipedia. Through this, they will learn how to use computer, digital photo equipment and gain research abilities. Also, by their work they will raise lasting traces, available for next generations.

Currently, we have 10 atttendees, 9 out of them are women. This is first season, we started in February.
