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!
