Yorùbá Wikipedia Training for WikiForHumanRights 2025 in Nigeria Overview

The Yorùbá Wikipedia Training is a key part of the WikiForHumanRights 2025 Campaign in Nigeria, a nationwide effort to promote awareness and action on human rights, environmental protection, and sustainable development through open knowledge.

This training aims to empower Yorùbá-speaking contributors to use Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects as platforms to share knowledge about the environment, climate change, and the right to a healthy future.
