Days of Egypt on Wikipedia

On the occasion of the Revolution Day in Egypt on July 23, an edit-a-thon was organized on Serbian Wikipedia. The edit-a-thon lasted from July 19 to 25, and 8 participants wrote 17 articles, while one article was improved. With this activity, an initial step was made towards increasing the content on Wikipedia about Egypt, its culture, history, tradition, geography, politics and many important topics.

Thanks to our efforts to nurture the culture of Egypt in our region, we attended the Reception on the occasion of the National Day of Egypt, organized by the Еmbassy of the of Egypt and His Excellency Amr Alguvejli. The Association for Culture, Arts and International Cooperation "Adligat" organized an exhibition of photographs from Egypt on the occasion of the National Day of Egypt. In cooperation with "Adligat", we are preparing activities for the release of thousands of important photographs of museums, natural beauties, artifacts, mummies and numerous other attractions that will be a significant step in the digitalization of Egyptian culture.
