Project Goal edit

What will be the outputs of your project and how will those outputs contribute to advancing a specific Movement Strategy Initiative

Involving the Kannada speaking community in the Movement charter is the primary goal of the project. Important Movement Charter (MC) pages will be translated into Kannada, and news about upcoming events will be disseminated to the Kannada community via different social media platforms. Also, we would like to meet in person with various members of the Kannada community, some of whom are administrators, new users, or have different privileges within the Wikimedia community and are from different regions. This will allow us to learn more about their perspectives on the Movement Charter and their areas of expertise.
