À travers Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 en République du Congo, nous visons à enrichir le contenu de Wikipédia en valorisant la diversité et la richesse du patrimoine culturel congolais. En encourageant la soumission de photographies de haute qualité mettant en scène le folklore, les traditions et les coutumes locales, nous souhaitons combler un manque de représentativité visuelle de notre pays sur cette plateforme mondiale.
Nos principaux défis résident dans la mobilisation d'un large public, notamment les jeunes, et dans l'accompagnement des nouveaux participants pour qu'ils découvrent les outils et les valeurs de Wikimedia. Pour relever ces défis, nous prévoyons d'organiser des ateliers de photographie et de sensibilisation aux projets Wikimedia, tout en mettant en place une communication dynamique et inclusive. Notre objectif à long terme est de créer une communauté de contributeurs engagés, qui continueront à enrichir le patrimoine numérique de la République du Congo bien au-delà de ce concours.

Sorties photos : Nous planifierons des sorties vers des sites historiques, culturels ou naturels à Brazzaville et Pointe-Noire, pour capturer des photos et vidéos de qualité qui reflètent la beauté et la diversité de l'Afrique.
Ateliers sur Wikimedia Commons, Wikipédia et Wikidata : Nous organiserons des ateliers pour montrer aux participants comment téléverser des images, vidéos et audios.
