8. What are your programs, approaches, and strategies? What are the challenges that you are trying to address and how will your strategies support you in addressing these challenges? (required)

Notre organisation a mis en place un ensemble de programmes, d'approches et de stratégies pour atteindre nos objectifs. Nous nous concentrons principalement sur la préservation des langues minoritaires et des cultures qui leur sont associées à travers différentes activités.

Nos programmes comprennent :

La création de contenu en langues minoritaires, couvrant des domaines tels que l'histoire, la culture, les traditions et les langues elles-mêmes.
La préservation de ces langues sous forme audio, visuelle et écrite, grâce à la collecte de données et de ressources.
L'augmentation de la visibilité et du contenu des langues minoritaires sur Wikipédia.
La documentation de l'histoire linguistique des peuples minoritaires.

Nos approches se basent sur la collaboration avec des spécialistes linguistiques et des acteurs locaux. Nous organisons des ateliers de contribution et des edit-a-thons, où les participants apprennent à contribuer à des projets Wiki et à ajouter du contenu en langues minoritaires. Nous collaborons également avec d'autres pays et groupes d'utilisateurs pour élargir notre réseau d'experts et de contributeurs.

Cependant, nous sommes confrontés à certains défis. Ces défis comprennent le manque de ressources, l'absence de livres dans les langues minoritaires, le manque d'ordinateurs pour faciliter les contributions et le besoin d'amplifier nos activités pour toucher un public plus large.

Nos stratégies sont conçues pour relever ces défis :

Pour le manque de ressources, nous explorons des sources de financement supplémentaires en dehors de la fondation, afin d'étendre nos activités et d'amplifier nos projets.
Pour l'absence de livres dans les langues minoritaires, nous effectuons des recherches préliminaires pour trouver des ouvrages auprès de spécialistes linguistiques.
Pour le manque d'ordinateurs, nous envisageons la location ou l’achat d'ordinateurs basiques pour les participants si nécessaire.
Pour amplifier nos activités, nous recherchons d'autres financements et sources de soutien pour organiser plus d'édit-a-thons et d'ateliers de contribution, afin de couvrir un public plus vaste.

En mettant en œuvre ces stratégies, nous cherchons à maximiser nos forces, à relever nos faiblesses, à saisir les opportunités qui se présentent et à atténuer les menaces potentielles. Cela nous permettra d'atteindre nos objectifs de préservation des langues minoritaires et de renforcement de notre impact dans les communautés que nous servons.
