|27/11/22
|The IDEA network collaborated with the Postgraduate Society at the University of St Andrews Students' Association, on hosting a pilot event for students who were invited to collaborate on researching digitised archival information about St Andrew’s first female alumni and thus expand the limited amount of information we have about these women.
|Onsite
The event aimed to spark a discussion and encourage attendees to become “knowledge activists” by looking for additional information about these women. In addition to filling information gaps about underrepresented women, the session also showcased opportunities to develop skills in digital media, research, public engagement, and team collaboration.
|'''Purpose''': introduce those from the ''New Scots Connect'' program to Wiki editing. The program supports a community based and youth work-based approach with children and adults from diverse migrant and refugee backgrounds to support confidence, wellbeing, English and general communication skills through workshops focused on Engineering.

|'''Purpose''': encourage students and residents of St Andrews to improve Wikicommons by uploading photographs of listed buildings.
|The IDEA network collaborated with the Postgraduate Society at the University of St Andrews Students' Association, on hosting a pilot event to celebrate the town of St Andrews. St Andrews is well recognised globally for its history and over 600 years old University, but most photos of places are missing from open-access maps. We invited students and locals to a one-hour “Shoot St Andrews to Green” event on Saturday, the 20th of August 2022. This event aimed to spark a discussion and encourage attendees to become “open knowledge activists” and contribute as part of a network of others doing the same at the University. The session showcased different opportunities to develop skills in photography and team collaboration while filling information gaps about our town.
