'Submission of grant application for Wiki Loves Folklore and Feminism and Folklore 2025

As discussed on our WhatsApp platform, I'm planning on submitting a proposal for our community to participate in this year's Wiki Loves Folklore and Feminism and Folklore campaigns.

Feminism and Folklore is an annual international writing contest held on Wikipedia during February and March. It aims to document folk cultures and women in folklore worldwide, complementing the Wiki Loves Folklore (WLF) photography campaign on Wikimedia Commons. This multilingual project, running since 2019, fosters collaboration across languages and Wikimedia platforms, enriching content about human cultural diversity with a focus on closing the gender gap.

Participants contribute articles on topics like festivals, dances, cuisine, and clothing, all aligning with the themes of folk culture and gender representation. By documenting intangible cultural heritage, the project promotes intercultural dialogue, mutual respect, and knowledge-sharing for global audiences.

What are your thoughts on that and what can we do collaboratively and effectively to implement the project when accepted?Alhassan Mohammed Awal (talk) 06:44, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is good for us to learn how to contribute to the other Wikimedia projects you mentioned during our last training on Wikidata. Wikidata is the only thing thing I have learned a little to contribute to but I am hoping for opportunities like this to learn about the other projects which my align better with my interest. The proposal should include more training sessions to ensure we learn more for effective contributions. I can't wait for the opportunity to test my camera on Wikimedia commons Abdul-Fazaz (talk) 19:35, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
