Talk:Oral knowledge

Hi there !

Oral Knowledge is evoked by one of the Recommendation of the 2030 Strategy Process Document, that was just published yesterday.

This document is meant to guide future orientations of the Wikimedia Movement for the next 10 years, so if you like this recommendation, please share your support on the Talk Page. It will show that communities support such a recommendation and help it be adopted by the WMF board of trustees.

Here it is > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Recommendations/Innovate_in_Free_Knowledge

Looking forward to know what you think of it !

Thank you DRanville!

Hi Diane, thanks for reaching out to share this. I will soon get to it and will share comments. --Psubhashish (talk) 05:34, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Potential fellowships for the collection of oral literature and traditional ecological knowledge

The Firebird Foundation is offering fellowships for the collection of oral literature and traditional ecological knowledge of up to $10,000 to "anthropologists, linguists, and other scholars, as well as to individuals or teams of local researchers in indigenous societies who are dedicated to preserving their own oral traditions. The funds in the Fellowships can be used to cover research expenses directly related and essential to the project (i.e., travel, essential living expenses during fieldwork, supplies and recording equipment, research assistance, and other relevant expenditures). Using funds to initiate local oral literature projects and local collection teams is also strongly encouraged. Aid is not offered for salary and/or fringe benefits of applicant, tuition, non-project personnel, travel to meetings, institutional overhead, or institutional support." The deadline is March 1st for this round, but there are 3 other deadlines in a year too. I'm not sure though that this offer will be available for the other three rounds. -Yupik (talk) 21:53, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

OHMA and Indigenous Language Revitalization

Too bad we didn't hear of this event before it happened, but it would probably be a good idea to get in touch with these people and the people from OHMA. -Yupik (talk) 01:19, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
