Hello Everyone,
Today, in Lagos, Nigeria, a community of volunteer editors would be coming together to exchange resources, increase capacity and contribute to the general sum of knowledge available on open source through identified Wikimedia projects on topics that relate to African music and sounds - The Afrosounds Project.
Our commitment is to continuously recruit, train and increase capacity of volunteer editors towards bridging the knowledge gap as it concerns sharing information and correcting bias and misinformation to the global audience on content about sounds and music in Africa, covering topics, discussion and content from traditional elements of music to modern and contemporary concepts of sounds and its knowledge as it concerns Africa.
If this resonates with your interest and you would like to participate in this meetup/training virtually, please join us via the call link provided below:
