Motto | Bridging cultures, sharing knowledge |
Wikimedians of the Asia Pacific User Group is a community of passionate volunteers committed to preserving and promoting the diverse cultural heritage of Asia and the Pacific region. Our mission is to save endangered or tribal languages, cultures, folklore, and other traditional knowledge of Asia-Pacific through Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata.
As a user group, we strive to build regional connections and support local or national Wikimedia communities across Asia and the Asia-Pacific. Through collaboration, advocacy, and knowledge-sharing, we aim to empower local Wikimedia communities to better serve their respective regions, and promote the values of free knowledge, open access, and community engagement.
Our work is guided by a commitment to cultural diversity, multilingualism, and local relevance. By working together, we can help to preserve and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Asia and the Asia-Pacific for generations to come.
