1. What is the change that you are trying to bring about and why is this important.

I am trying to promote the Wikisource project by adding the work of one of the most important Arab thinkers to it, a work that is concerned with art By partnering with volunteers in the Wikimedia Levant group, I will work to increase the representation of underrepresented groups. Arab history is full of art and I will try to increase the importance of these works through Wikimedia projects

2. Describe your main approaches or strategies to achieve these changes and why you think they will be effective.

I will organize the dialogue between myself and the participants and I believe that this dialogue will be effective by increasing the importance of the Wikisource project in Arabic and I believe that it will effectively contribute to attracting new volunteers from underrepresented communities
