What?
We are working with Kurds in London and around the UK to create content about Kurdish culture, in both English and the languages spoken in Kurdistan.

Why?
An encylopaedia is an important part of preserving and promoting a culture, language and history. We feel that this is a positive activity we can help with.

Our aim is to run events like editathons, train people how to edit, and create more content across languages.
