[Commlist] CFP: Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference

The fourth edition of the Celtic Knot Conference, focusing on minority 
languages on the Wikimedia projects, will take place on July 9th and 
10th, 2020 in Limerick, Ireland.


The Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference aims to bring people 
together to share their experiences of working on sharing information in 
minority languages. We hope to help people learn how to encourage the 
flow of information across language barriers and support associated 
communities. As in previous years we will have a strong focus on 
Wikidata and its potential to support languages.


Wikimedia UK has been the organiser with local partners for the 2017 
Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference in Edinburgh (focusing on 
Scottish Gaelic), in 2018 in Aberystwyth (focusing on Welsh) and in 2019 
in Falmouth (focusing on Cornish). In 2020, the conference will focus on 
Irish and developing its Wikimedia community - whilst making sure that 
we can share and support other languages in the Celtic Knot and beyond.


The programme will include presentations and workshops linked to the 
conference themes of:

  *

    How Wikidata and language technology can support minority languages

  *

    Wikimedia projects in education with language applications

  *

    Experiences with empowering wiki communities to create content in
    their language

  *

    How cultural institutions and wiki communities work together to
    provide more accessible knowledge in minority languages


We especially expect a lot of representatives from Irish cultural and 
educational institutions as well as contributors of Wikimedia projects 
in various languages.


Are you interested in participating? Save the date in your calendar! The 
call for submissions to the program will start on February 27th until 
March 30th. A scholarship program will be set up and more information 
will be shared in March.
