Wikipedia training workshops Engage with external partners to gather participants and train them to use Wikipedia while following a specific theme for each program. Partners such as embassies and learning institutions will provide participants from various backgrounds to be trained to learn how to use Wikipedia and share their knowledge in their respective fields. Wiktionary training workshops Engage with linguistic minority communities to gather participants and train them to use Wiktionary while allowing them to document their own languages. Various minority communities have their own languages that can be documented in Wiktionary and empower them. Wikipedia Incubator training workshops Several indigenous languages have potential to hatch their own Wikipedias. Therefore, it is necessary to train those communities to be able to use the Wikipedia Incubator to help them hatch their projects faster while equipping them with knowledge they can use once the project hatches. Indigenous language and culture documentation Engage with indigenous communities to gather participants and teach them how to document their languages and cultures through Wiktionary, Wikimedia Incubator, Lingua Libre, Wikitongues, Wikimedia Incubator Wikisource training workshops Engage with academicians who have knowledge in transcribing old manuscripts and teach them how to contribute to freeing knowledge by using Wikisource. Engage with public institutions to freely share their manuscript collections to be hosted on Wikisource. We are trying to bring awareness about the Wikimedia movement through mostly Wikipedia and Wiktionary while empowering underrepresented communities through minority language preservation using Wikimedia projects.
