Project Goal

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

The expected outcome of this project is to help the community know more about the Movement Charter. To support Punjabi Community and Indic Education group members review the content and share feedback. This engagement is expected to increase awareness, engagement, support, and sustainable development of communities while engaging in global discussion.

Awareness is more important but the interpretation of the movement charter to regional communities is also a big challenge. So while growing awareness among them, we must keep in mind that we should use suitable lingua and local examples by which we can easily convey our message to them.

What specific Movement Strategy Initiative does your project focus on and why? Please select one of the initiatives described here: There is a lack of awareness about the Movement Charter in our community so to engage and support the community, the first step is to translate MC content into our language and share it with the community with the aim of inclusion and more participation. This project focuses on the initiatives to increase the sustainability of Movement and Ensure Equity in Decision Making.

Provide a link to a Friendly Space Policy or UCoC that will be implemented to support these discussions.: We will adhere to the friendly space policy. The initial stage is to translate the information, after which we inform the Punjabi community and the Indic education group via an online meeting so that they may assess the content and provide input.
If your activities include the use of paid online tools, please describe what tools these are and how you intend to use them.: We will use google meet or Zoom platform for online meetings.

Are there any other details you would like to share? Consider providing a rationale, research or community discussion outputs, and any other similar information, that will give more context to your proposed project.: The Punjabi community along with many others in the region needs this project significantly. Being a small community, there are several obstacles, including misunderstandings, language issues, and lack of awareness. This project is a good effort to better comprehend and participate in the Movement Charter Drafting Committee work. We are attempting to mainstream the Wiki movement by integrating the Punjabi community and Indic education group.
