CEE/Newsletter/Newsroom/Wikipedia Event for International Roma Day 2025
On April 12, 2025, Wikimedians of Albanian Language User Group (WoALUG) marked International Roma Day by organizing an event to increase the visibility of the Roma community on Albanian Wikipedia.
This gathering brought together 6 participants from the Roma community and non-Roma civil society organizations from Peshkopia and Bulqiza in Albania. Among them was Klaudjo Taho, Specialist at the Directorate for Social Protection and Inclusion, part of the General Directorate of Civil Protection at Tirana Municipality, who contributed insights on social inclusion and the representation of Roma people in public institutions.
Throughout the event, participants discussed ways to improve and create articles that reflected the culture, history, and contributions of the Roma community in Albania. They worked on translating existing content and enriching biographies. This initiative aimed to empower Roma contributors and strengthen the presence of Roma-related topics on Wikipedia to promote free knowledge that includes everyone.
