Dear Euphemia,
This is a great addition to Wikimedia! Thanks for sharing! I wonder how you worked on the copyright of the audio files, as I can find it on Commons and I'm really interested on that. If you could share the process, it would be a great learning path.

Thanks

Galder

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] [AID Project] Contributing to intangible cultural heritage on Wikimedia Projects
 

Hi Everyone,


How is underrepresented knowledge on wikimedia projects addressed through new ways of contributions? Intangible cultural heritage of different tribes in Africa is one such knowledge facing underrepresentation on wikimedia projects. As indigenous people migrate to cities; face an aging population of cultural guardians and a strong tradition of oral storytelling, it is important to save the voices of knowledge at the brink of extinction.


See how the Wikimedia Foundation is supporting community efforts to digitize endangered igbo dances in Nigeria through the AID project.


Kind regards,

Euphemia Uwandu,

On behalf of the Project Team
