It was a pleasure to conduct a workshop on the GLAM and Eduwiki programs at Imam Bukhari Institute in Kondotty, India. The event was organized by the Students’ Association of Bukhari Da’wa College.
Kondotty has a rich history in Mappila art and literature. Notably, Mahakavi Moyinkutty Vaidyar, born in 1852, was a renowned poet and Ayurvedic practitioner from this region. He composed the romantic epic “Badarul Munir – Husnul Jamal” at just 17 years old.
During the workshop, 40 students participated, with some already contributing to Wikimedia Commons and Wikisource by uploading traditional Mappila songs and literary works. They are excited to continue contributing to Wikimedia with more cultural and literary content.
