Activities

I am the facilitator in Mali of the #WikiChallenge Ecoles d'Afrique, a writing contest on vikidia organized in 70 schools in 4 African countries in October and November 2017. It so happen that the work done in the wiki sphere in the schools will happen at the same time than Wiki Loves Africa. So far, no local team has ever promoted the Wiki Loves Africa photo contest in Mali. I propose to do so and promote the contest toward the contest in two target populations : toward the schools and more generally the educational sector, and toward young professional and semi-amator photographers. And especially the creation of the community of Mali Wikipedians contributors (wikimedia Mali) during international month of the French contribution

• Training in the use of Wikipedia of the 15 Malian contributors (March 11, 2018) at the Bilbiotheque Nationale at the Bamako Manuscripts Fair, a big event with a lot of media coverage
• facilitate the participation bloggers, journalist, students and of schools kids and personnel to the contest
