Miora Stéphanie RADIFERA
A Malagasy Translation Manager at Global Voices, I’ve been a long-time reader and user of Wikipedia but only recently took the leap into editing on the French and Malagasy Wikipedias. Since starting in March, my journey as an editor has grown at full speed! By late May, I joined the organizing team for “Wikiteny,” a month-long, nationwide edit-a-thon across four regions of Madagascar. There, I helped coordinate activities and mentor new Wikimedians, drawing on Global Voices source materials to enrich Wikipedia content.

What happens when two like-minded movements come together for a common goal? In this session, we’ll explore how Rising Voices/Global Voices have been collaborating with members of the Wikimedia movement, who are also supporting Indigenous, minority, and low-resource language communities in Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe as they create knowledge in their own languages.
