Hi All!

We've submitted a proposal for the Carpathian Ethnography Project, organised by Wikimedia Polska and the National Museum of Ethnography in Warsaw (the project includes several other participating museums): https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WMPL/Ethnography_of_the_Carpathians

In short: Teams consisting of Wikipedians, scientists and volunteers identify blank areas on Wikipedia, gather reference material, then conduct 6 Wiki-excursions to key locations in the Carpathian region (Poland, Southwest Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania), to photograph, record and film traditional folk dress and folk artwork (sculpture, artisan objects, cultural artifacts) uniquely representative for traditional Carpathian culture. A set of several dozen articles in 6 languages will then be written and illustrated by this material.

We're still looking for a few more participants from 5 Central European countries - especially from Romania - as well as anyone interested in collaborating remotely!

We're also looking for all comments, opinion, endorsement and support :-)

Let us know, we'll be happy to answer all questions.

Thanks!
