Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)

During the last years Wikimedians of Colombia has participated in several meetings with digital activists in indigenous languages. This has allowed us to draw conclusions about the challenges to bring free knowledge via Wikipedias in those communities.

What will attendees take away from this session?

Attendees will learn about our project in Colombia and, e.g, the challenges we have right now to bring free knowledge in a post-conflict time to indigenous communities (traditionally closed because of the war).
