BROUMOV BAROQUE THROUGH THE EYES OF WIKISENIORS: A TRIP TO ENRICH WIKIPEDIA

On 24 September, a trip focused on a tour of the Broumov group of Baroque churches was organized in cooperation with the Study and Research Library in Hradec Králové. The event was intended mainly for seniors from the course “Seniors write Wikipedia“, who are engaged in processing encyclopedic entries on Wikipedia.

The program of the trip began in Broumov, where the participants visited the monastery church of St. Vojtěch and took a half-hour guided tour. Then they moved to the church in Vernéřovice, then to Ruprechtice, Šonovo and finally to Otovice. Throughout the whole tour they were accompanied by the local parish priest Martin Lanži, who gave them an introduction to the history of each church. The interpretation was not only focused on architecture and historical events, but also included practical advice on how to use the photos and new information to enrich the relevant entries on Wikipedia.
