AfroCuration campaign/Online events

ALITFEST 2020 Contest[edit]

The AfroCuration campaign is collaborating with the Abuja Literary Society in the 2020 edition of the Abuja Literary + Arts Festival 2020 to promote the use of indigenous language in writing. ALitFest20 which is themed The Art of Empathy will mark the 3rd edition of the festival. For this edition, the Festival welcomes wider participation to the growing literary community in Africa by going virtual.

To bridge the gender, the Afrocuration Campaign Team is collaborating with the Abuja Literary Society to organize a contest that would primarily focus on bridging the contents gap on the Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo language Wikipedia.
