維基年會2025維基喙舌會前會:透過語言建構有包容性的社里

關於

Languages are more than tools of communication; they are vessels of culture, identity, and knowledge. At Wikitongues, we believe building inclusive communities begins with embracing linguistic diversity in all its forms. Join us for a one-day preconference at Wikimania focused on exploring how language documentation, multilingual tools, and community storytelling can foster inclusion within the Wikimedia movement and beyond.

Attendees will participate in keynote panels, lightning talks, skill-sharing workshops, and community roundtables, all focused on linguistic diversity, accessibility, and equity.
