Capacity development for underrepresented communities (CDUC) was a project aimed at reaching out to underrepresented communities in order to get them involved in the Wikimedia movement. It involved working with two types of underrepresented communities: 1) speakers of endangered minority languages and 2) users of sign languages. Of the first type, the project covered the Aromanian-speaking and Romani-speaking communities in Macedonia; and of the second type, it engaged people with hearing loss in Macedonia who use the Macedonian Sign Language.
