Hello everyone,
On behalf of the Celtic Knot Conference organising team, I have some
exciting news to share about the event dedicated to Celtic languages on the
Wikimedia projects.
The Celtic Knot Language Conference is a gathering that acknowledges the
diversity of Celtic language communities and their presence within the
global Wikimedia ecosystem. Rooted in the spirit of collaboration and
community empowerment, it serves as a nexus for language enthusiasts,
Wikimedia contributors, cultural advocates, academics and researchers to
come together and explore innovative approaches to language preservation,
promotion, and recognition of Celtic and minority languages in the digital
space.
The conference will take place on 25-27 September 2024, onsite in Waterford
City, Ireland. Keep an eye on the event page for more updates including
details about the venue, programme and registration soon! details about the
venue, program, registration and other updates will be added to the event
page in due time. [1]
As we are currently building the program for the conference, we would love
to invite community members to contribute to the event by giving a
presentation, a lightning talk, running a workshop or submitting a poster. The
call for program proposals is now open until Sunday 14 July. You can make a
proposal directly on Wiki or using a form. You will find all the details
and instructions on the Call for submissions page. [2]
To support participants coming from Ireland or Europe to attend the event,
we are offering scholarships to cover event tickets, travel and
accommodation. For people located in other areas of the world or people who
cannot join onsite, we are offering e-scholarships covering data packages
to watch the conference from home. The scholarship application process is
now open until Sunday, June 30th. You can find the form and the
instructions on the Attend page. [3]
We are looking forward to receiving your contributions to the program and
scholarship requests!
