Celtic Knot Conference

Satellite Event in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria
-- --, 2024

The Wikidata + Languages 2.0 event builds upon the success of the previous language-focused event held in the Igbo community in 2022. Inspired by the Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference (CKWLC), this event aims to unite the Wikimedia community to share their experiences in promoting and sharing information in minority and minoritised languages. It also seeks to teach participants how to facilitate the flow of information across language barriers and support their respective communities.

The Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference provides a platform for individuals involved in the growth and maintenance of communities on Wikipedia, Wikisource, or Wikidata. It fosters learning and collaboration on topics such as community development, technical tools, and partnerships.

With sponsorship from the Wikimedia Community Ireland, The Ig Wiki Librarians Hub will participate by hosting a satellite event within the Igbo community. This event will bring community members together to address the gaps on Wikidata properties for the Igbo language. After this satellite event, participants will be encouraged to participate online during the CKWLC which will run from September 25 - 27, 2024

Focus

[edit]
  • Increase awareness of the conference and encourage active participation among community members.
  • Highlight the importance of preserving cultural and linguistic heritage through Wikimedia platforms.
  • Introduce Wikidata and explain how it facilitates the representation of various languages.
  • Bridge the gap in Igbo language properties by training participants to translate and localize Wikidata properties.
