BASAbali Wikithons

We hold wikithons (digital competitions) every 2-3 months to engage different swaths of the public around current issues. For example, we’ve held wikithons asking people to share their coping strategies under Covid-19 or how they’ve managed interfaith conflicts in their families or communities.  Each wikithon is held in Balinese and winning entries are translated into Indonesian and English.  We use a number of modalities — short essays, photographs with captions, storytelling, and videos — to engage different sectors of the population.
