WikiLinguila/WikiMolakisi

The term Molakisi comes from Lingála and means teacher, one who guides, shows or teaches others. We're trying to implement an educational project based on Kiwix whose aim is to teach high school students to use Wikipedia as an open educational resource, as a primary source for accessing information or as a starting point in the quest for knowledge, with a view to eliminating certain misconceptions about the encyclopedia and also enabling learners to be able to consume this knowledge properly and evaluate it too. But, we prefer to associate the participation of IT Manager from two secondary schools which will take over in order to maintain this learning even after our visit, as we intend to make this project viable and sustainable over time.

We have planned a month's work with two secondary schools in two targeted cities to make this activity in the school environment a pilot project where we will first start with two of the country's leading secondary schools, and in the coming days implement Reading Wikipedia in the classroom program itself, but in Lingála and Kikôngo.
