This project aims to identify common challenges faced by a diverse set of small-language communities on Wikimedia projects. The project will surface opportunities for how a Hub might be leveraged as a method for bridging those challenges and gaps identified.
Through this project, the team will work to better understand the needs of the Indian community, in relation to language documentation. The project will also explore the ways through which a toolkit might impact Wikisource and Commons as active repositories of oral culture and knowledge.
This project team is conducting a needs assessment, mapping of existing initiatives and identifying potential partners to implement a skills development plan that effectively responds to the needs of the Cape Verdean community. The project aims to develop a working model which can be adopted in other underrepresented Lusophone communities or communities with similar contexts.
Aproveito para compartilhar uma notícia que acabou de sair sobre o projeto de pesquisa em Cabo Verde “Pesquisa sobre necessidades de capacitação em Cabo Verde (Research on Capacity Building Needs in Cape Verde)”(em português).
The project aims to identify the best methods and approaches for developing capacities for sustaining the Aromanian and Balkan Romani Wikipedias. In addition, the project will also identify and explore ways to enable people with hearing loss who use the Macedonian Sign Language to contribute to the Wikimedia projects.
Congratulations and Welldone to this project team!
This project will develop a didactic training course to build the leadership capacities for Brazilian leaders to better implement Strategy focused work within the Portuguese-speaking community. The project in the second and third phases will train to build leadership within the community and then track the development and execution of subsequent projects linked to the implementation of Movement Strategy in the Portuguese-speaking community.
This research project has been funded through MSIG.
Awarded recently to the project team at Wikimedians of Twi Language User Group led by @Amoaniwaa. This project seeks to advance the initiative of Regional & thematic Hubs.
This research project aims to surface the needs and priorities of Wikimedians across the West Africa region, and explore the ways that a hub structure might address any existing gaps. The findings of this work will contribute to the ongoing global conversations on hubs, by surfacing the priorities of the West African region.
Congratulations and Welldone to this project team!
@Kitanago, je sais que vous avez quelques idées aussi pour le groupe d’Haïti.
N’hésite pas à les partager ici et t’inspirer aussi des projets déjà acceptés.
Merci
Pareil @KAG1LP2MDIAKITE , pour le groupe du Mali, tu avais quelques idées de projets aussi.
Plus haut, tu peux voir les projets déjà acceptés pour t’inspirer.
Merci
Bonjour, @Adélaïde_Calais_WMFr , voici un projet pareil à celui dont on avait parlé il y a quelques mois pour WikiFranca avec une première phase d’évaluation des besoins de la communauté.
This project was recently granted to the EARTH. The project is a collaborative effort of Wikimedia Community User Group Tanzania, Uganda and the Planning Wikimedia Community User Group Kenya.
The project team is led by @Jadnapac and @Douglaseru. This is a research project that seeks to advance initiative 25 - Regional & Thematic Hubs #ensure-equity-in-decision-making. The aim of this project is to conduct extensive research to identify the priorities and challenges that East African communities face, and surface potential recommendations for addressing those in a structured manner. Through this project, the team will ensure that the voices of East African communities are truly reflected in the ongoing conversations about Hubs!
Please join me in congratulating this team on this collaborative effort, taking the first critical steps to identifying the Hubs priorities for East African Communities.
In case anyone is interested in the VSN 2022 project (I hope so! ) - I will just add a quick update. The project is ongoing, there is a lot happening, including a series of skillshare meetings for the community supporters and volunteers (one is even happening tomorrow: Volunteer Supporters Network/Meetings - Meta Feel free to participate!). We have finished the Wikidata Competition with great results (thanks for everyone who have participated!) and are now working on our structural reform. Four month after the project started we already have a lot of learnings. We were also able to reach a lot of people with this project and hopefully - continue to do so.
This is a research and needs assessment project that will work to identify the barriers to effective leadership and skills development within the Hausa, Fulfulde and Kanuri communities. The project team will collect data on volunteer needs and priorities and map out plans to address the challenges that these language communities face.
Congratulations to the project team, and wishing them a truly fruitful research and needs assessment process.
Marc will be developing research and tools to design more effective initiatives to welcome newcomers. The research will focus on areas that have a potential for high impact,which have been supported by previous research, but are currently not prioritized. The outputs of this research are expected to contribute to the growth of Wikimedia communities by offering scalable solutions on more effective ways to welcome newcomers.

Congratulations to this project team, as we look forward to the findings of this research!
The objective of this project is to pilot a cohort model for onboarding new language communities to Wikimedia. Much like the Wikitongues Language Revitalization Accelerator. This project will provide training, small grants and in-kind support to the leaders of 10 new mother-tongue Wikimedia projects, such as new language versions of Wikipedia, Commons documentation projects, or lexicon projects on Wiktionary.
The overarching objective is evaluating how Wikimedia projects can be made more accessible in under-resourced languages, and in turn, understanding the extent to which Wikimedia projects can accelerate language revitalization. At the end of the cohort process, the team will translate the project learnings and tools into a freely available toolkit for anyone to add their language to Wikimedia. This document will serve as the foundation for Wikitongues and the Language Diversity Hub to support new mother-tongue Wikimedia projects on an ongoing basis, at scale.
This project is working to address the lack of knowledge of the Portuguese-speaking community about the Movement Strategy by taking advantage of the current drive by more experienced members organized in groups and projects to educate the community on Movement Strategy and the Implementation Grants. The didactic materials created through this project will be adaptable to other contexts and regions seeking to train communities on how to better engage on Movement Strategy.
Are you looking to increase awareness of and Movement Strategy engagements within your community? Reach out to this project team to exchange ideas.
Congratulations to @XenoF as we look forward to the impact of this work and the materials that many will be able to take advantage of as well!
Thanks Yop for the mention! I am very happy about this project and for all the recognition and understanding of the Movement Strategy that each community has its specific needs and are at different levels of learning.
I also wanted to make myself available to any volunteers who would like to talk more about the project or similar projects!
