Wikimedia Finno-Ugric Collaboration
Wikimedia Finno-Ugric Collaboration is a partnership among communities working on Wikimedia projects in Finno-Ugric languages.
The main goals of the collaborative are:
- to support each other through sharing and learning;
- to support growth of all Wikimedia projects in these languages;
- to increase and improve information available about Finno-Ugric cultures and peoples in Wikimedia projects in other languages.
Background
[edit ]Wikimedia Finno-Ugric Collaboration was initiated on organizational level in year 2011 by Wikimedia Eesti together with local Finno-Ugric organizations (e.g. NPO Fenno-Ugria) with an aim to provide better support for Finno-Ugric Wikimedia projects and their communities. Soon discussions continued with the participation of Wikimédia Magyarország [1] and idea to organize Seminar for Finno-Ugric Wikipedias was born. The first seminar took place from 22nd−24th of August 2014 in Estonia. That was followed by 2nd Finno-Ugric wikiseminar in South-Estonia in 2015 and 3rd wikiseminar in Karelia (Russia) in 2016. 4th Finno-Ugric wikiseminar was held once again in South-Estonia in 2020.
