Disseminating open culture
Participation on WECUDI congress
We were invited to participate in WECUDI, the first international congress around wikimedia, education and digital culture held in La Plata university, Buenos Aires. The culture and open knowledge team participated delivering a session about "Archivos en Vigilia", the iniciative that seeks for Archives and other cultural institutions to open up their documents and photographs about memory in Argentina. Angie Cervellera (WMAR) and Laura Casareto (UNLP) made a joint presentation to show the work done around this topic and invited to join the next "vigilia" in March 2023.

On the other hand, Mauricio Genta (WMAR) gave a public workshop around Wikimedia Commons and how to upload documents related to human rights, using images of the Noche de los Lápices, due to its 47th conmemoration. Finally, Shailili Zamora Aray, our partner from the CDI Chaco, presented the work done together towards a better representation of indigenous knowledge on the wikimedia projects which involves the use of wikishootme with bilingual (qom, wichi, moqoit) education centers in the province of Chaco.
