1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?

We would have a series of edit-a-thon where volunteers would work on article that do not have wikidata entries and also create wikidata entries to support the AfroCine contest ongoing, also article that are not part of the contest related to movies would be made available on wikidata. The reason for this project is to engage with the global communities by contributing to the Afrocine contest and also celebrating WikidataCon. We will be partnering Icode hub Takoradi for space.
