Levant-Greece Cultural Exchange Program
Levant- Greece Cultural Exchange Program is a content exchange program between Wikimedians of Levant and Greece Community. It is a part of the content exchange program between Arabic/English speakers and English/Greece speakers. The idea of this exchange program came from a collaborative discussion on November 2020. With this program, wikipedians from both communities will exchange the most important articles from their respective languages and translate them in their own as a token of friendship. This will contribute in reducing the cultural as well as content gap and strengthen the bond between Levantine and Greek communities. Please note that Wikimedians of Levant will translate from English to Arabic (Greek Content) and Greek Wikimedians will translate from English to Greek (Arabic Content) to express Arabic culture in Greek language.
