looking for two *Wikipedians
in Community* for its Kumusha Takes Wiki
Projecthttp://africacentre.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f841effd2aefe5fbd31a96695&id=3d4aa84467&e=5cdb066edb
.
**Kumusha Takes Wiki* requires a trained Wikipedian in Community who will
activate communities (or Kumusha’s) in Côte d’Ivoire and Uganda.
The Kumusha Takes
Wikihttp://africacentre.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f841effd2aefe5fbd31a96695&id=f7f24cea02&e=5cdb066edbproject
will use community journalism to gather, and encourage others to
contribute information on the pieces that make up their identity
(including, but not limited to culture, notable persons, heritage,
geographical features, transport nodes and other community-relevant
subjects). The project gives each community an online presence that is
‘owned’ by the community, and to which they can upload and provide
information that can be pulled into Wikipedia, Wikimedia projects and Open
Street Maps.
The project is designed to use the power of technology to raise awareness
of the richness of personal and community-based knowledge, and to encourage
people across a vast range of socio-economic and age groups to contribute
to the Wikipedias. By placing this information on the Wikipedias, it
ensures that global representations of Africa are complex, layered and
truthfully reflect contemporary reality.
The deadline for applications is 11 December 2013. To view details of the
call in English, click
