Minigrant and Photowalk Projects in Albania
Minigrant initiative by highlighting on Wikimedia Commons the Bulqiza area, Albania
To strengthen the Wikimedia community in Albania from August to November 2024, Wikimedians of Albanian Language User Group recently completed a mini-grant project that brought attention to Bulqiza in Albania. Through this grant, a community member contributed 100 photos showing the urban and rural life of Bulqiza and its surrounding areas to Wikimedia Commons. This project aligns with our 2023–2025 strategic plan to support important initiatives that promote free knowledge and community development in Albania. By adding these images, WoLAUG and the Wikimedia community in Albania contribute to enriching the online content and ensuring that the real life of less-documented areas is shared within the free knowledge pages.
Below are some of the images shared for this project.
The 2024 Wiki Photowalk showcasing the hidden beauty of Albania!
In 2024, the Wikimedians of Albanian Language User Group embarked on an inspiring mission to bring lesser-known places in Albania into the global spotlight on Wikimedia Commons.
With the Wiki Photowalk project, participants ventured through remote and picturesque areas, capturing unique images to enrich the visual content across Wikimedia projects.
We proudly provided financial support to enable two dedicated participants to reach these distant areas, helping to ensure even the most hidden gems of Albania are represented on Commons.
From stunning natural landscapes to snapshots of daily life, historical sites, and vibrant cities, our contributors uploaded 302 photos, each telling a story of Albania's rich cultural and natural heritage.
This initiative is a powerful step toward preserving and sharing Albania’s beauty with the world—one photograph at a time!
