Solution: In Argentina, we've found that working with local communities outside of major cities is a great way. We usually do interviews with the local communities first to see what they need, and follow up with events tailored to their work --EGalvez (WMF) (talk) 18:27, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

About this initiative

For many years, the Wikimedia movement has acknowledged language, culture and gender diversity as important for its goal to share the sum of all human knowledge. The Wikimedia movement faces many diversity challenges. The Chinese, Hindi, and Arabic Wikipedias have very small percentages of editors as compared to the total population of people who know those languages; only about 45 of the world’s sovereign states participated in Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 on Wikimedia Commons only a small minority of Wikipedia contributors are female. Several initiatives have tried to understand the problem and work towards increasing diversity in participation and content coverage to address these gaps (e.g., Writing Diversity back in Wikipedia toolkit and Charting diversity). We want to add one more!
