Wiki For Catholic Youths
[edit]Books of the Bible, although available in English language, is absent in Igbo language, thereby making it difficult for native speakers to access this all important information.
This project which is in collaboration with the Catholic Youth Organization of Nigeria, St Patrick’s Cathedral, Awka aims to introduce Catholic youths to Wikipedia while also informing them of other Wikimedia sister projects and also bridging the language barrier gap on Wikipedia.
Participants will be guided on creating a global Wikimedia user account as well as receive hands-on training about creating new articles on the Igbo Wikipedia.
