Our campaigns

Built with communities and institutions working towards free-knowledge equity, through inclusive initiatives, campaigns and projects.

Why campaigns

A shared space for culture and open knowledge

The Open Heritage platform offers multidisciplinary channels for exchanging expertise and experience between communities and institutions, encouraging debate and reflection on the open movement and its impact on communities and daily life.

What we run

Current campaigns

Wiki Loves Folklore

An international photography campaign where contributors share photos, video and audio of their local folk culture under free licences: dances, music, games, cuisine, dress, festivals, mythology and more. It is aimed at protecting the world’s intangible cultural heritage.

Feminism and Folklore

An international writing campaign held every February and March on Wikipedia to document folk cultures and women in folklore. It bridges gender and cultural gaps online through articles on feminism, women’s biographies and gender-focused folklore topics.

Proofreading Campaigns

Proofreading drives on Wikisource, the free library of openly licensed and public-domain books, so digitised works become accurate, searchable text that anyone can read and reuse.
