Regional Communities

Chattogram Wikimedia Community was the first regional community in Bangladesh.

The Regional Communities of Wikimedia Bangladesh were formed with the idea of decentralization, as Wikimedia Bangladesh’s outreach activities were previously concentrated mostly in Dhaka. This initiative aims to expand Wikimedia engagement across different cities by establishing local volunteer communities. Currently, there are five approved communities in Chattogram, Rajshahi, Cumilla, Chandpur, and Mymensingh, actively organizing workshops, edit-a-thons, and other events to enhance content and involve local contributors. Additionally, four proposed communities in Sylhet, Barishal, Khulna, and Santali-speaking regions are working toward strengthening Wikimedia activities in their respective areas. Through these regional initiatives, Wikimedia Bangladesh fosters greater participation and knowledge sharing across the country.
