Description

edit

Gungbe Voices on Climate Change and Environment is a translate-a-thon and edit-a-thon to document and raise awareness about Climate change and Environment on the Gungbe Wikipedia. Convincing as many people as possible that the climate change and environment is the most important issue of our time, is the only way to solve the issue of climate crisis. And since for that to happen, communication and appropiate language is the key tool, everybody should be able to have such information in their language. This event will make such information available in gungbe language through Gungbe Wikipedia.

Context

edit

We will organise 2 translate-a-thon and edit-a-thon (One in Lagos and the other in Porto-Novo) to create and translate articles about climate change and Africa environment by engaging members of the Gungbe Wikimedians User Group. List of articles to be translated will be prepared and we will make use of Fountain tool and outreach dashboard to track contributions.
