Good day all,
As a result of a partnership
<https://web.aflia.net/african-librarians-invited-to-contribute-knowledge-to-wikipedia-through-a-new-wikimedia-aflia-partnership/>
between the Wikimedia Foundation and AfLIA
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Library_and_Information_Associations_and_Institutions>,
we are pleased to announce the Wikipedia in African Libraries Project
<https://web.aflia.net/wikipedia-project-for-african-librarians-liberating-knowledge/>
( #WikiAfLibs <https://twitter.com/hashtag/WikiAfLibs?src=hashtag_click>).
For starters, the project aims to produce an adapted curriculum to train at
least 300 LIS professionals in Africa, who will be able to carry out
community outreaches and help their different user communities to be adept
at using Wikipedia for learning, research and telling their own stories.
But before that, we'd really like to hear from you. Your input will be
valuable in shaping the content and structure of the proposed course, means
and patterns of delivery, among others. You are invited to participate in
the pre-research survey (link below) and spread the word far and wide.....

Thanks in advance....
