I am Vyolltsa, a Wikimedia contributor from Albania. I have long experience working with volunteers and Albanian community, with a strong interest in cross-cultural understanding, education, language, diversity, and inclusion. Before my Wikimedia work, I worked with Peace Corps Albania, where I gained experience in volunteer support, community work, training, and cross-cultural communication.
Community campaigns and international Wikimedia collaborations
My favorite part of Wikimedia work is advocacy, because it helps connect people, support underrepresented communities, and create positive social change through free knowledge.
