Event name
[edit]Encuentro de Activistas Digitales de Lenguas Indígenas
Participant connections
[edit]The 15 activist, speakers of indigenous languages, the organisers, collaborators and assistants (almost 30 persons), went to the talk about how Wikipedia can help to preserve indigenous languages, and 10 went to the workshop about basic editing of wiki-code and the use of Visual Editor.
We make strong connections with the organizer group (Global Voices, and it's program for small languages - Rising Voices) and the institution where all we gathered - The Caro and Cuervo Institute. We talked about organize a Editathon or something like that there. Also, and maybe the more important, we share with indigenous people, adding them as FB friends and talking in a secret group created by organizers. In that way they can keep in touch with me (and Wikimedistas de Colombia) to develop future projects and get help from us.
Outcome
[edit]- Option 3: New Creation: What was one useful outcome of the event for the Wikimedia movement?
- Add a link to something new that was created as a result of your participation in this event (for example, you might link to a new tool that you and your co-participants made as a result of attending this event, or to a set of articles that the participants in your workshop created at the event).
I created two presentations for the meeting: One about why Wikipedia is important for indigenous languages and how it can help to keep them alive and a workshop about basic editing of wiki-code and use of the Visual Editor
