<li>Find both <em>a) a recent piece of news coverage about climate change or gender inequality in your context and b) a recent research report about the same issue in your country by either a government agency, non profit or academic institution. </em>For each of these sources:</li>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Share the link to each of those sources in the forum.</li>
<li>Based on what you read:</li>
<ul>
<li>What topics around gender or climate change do you think will be most important for your country or community? How do you know?</li>
<li>Were you surprised by any of the information you found? Why?</li>
</ul>
<li>Identify at least 3 Wikipedia articles or Wikidata items that could be edited based on those sources. Share a link to those articles, and explain two things based on what you learned in this unit:</li>
<ul>
<li>Why would these articles be impactful to improve for readers from your context? </li>
<li>How do you think sharing that knowledge would increase the relevance of Wikipedia in your context?</li>
</ul>
<li>Bonus: If you have time, make a few small edits expanding the Wikipedia pages in your language.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<li>Read the response to the above question by one of your classmates from a different country or context, and respond to their post in the forum:</li>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>How is what they identified as important similar to what you would expect the public to be concerned about in your context? How is it different?</li>
<li>Do you think editing about that topic could be important for your Wikipedia or Wikimedia project? Why or why not?</li>
</ul>
