Event:Atyapland WikiOutreach

The Atyapland WikiOutreach is an in-person workshop aimed at getting new editors to contribute to Tyap language content on Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata. At the end of this exercise, the Tyap Wikimedians User Group aims at establishing an editing hub in Atyapland with leadership to oversee the activities in the hub. For the last three weekends of June, the group would conduct workshops to transfer knowledge to participants who wish to promote the Tyap language in the Wikimedia space.
