Commons:Kumusha Bus

Kumusha Bus is short, intense intervention that aims at educating several communities in Africa about the Open Movement specifically. Intended to rollout across Africa, this adaptation of Libre Bus, will have its first pilot in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in June 2014.

The idea of the bus is to travel through a confined geographical or urban space for 6 days with a maximum of 10 stops at local communities. The pilot project in 2014 aims at completing Kumusha Bus in one country. The Kumusha Bus is aimed at educating future users about the benefits of Creative Commons, Open Licences, and Wikipedia and its sister projects. The intervention educates local communities through such interventions as photo bombing, OER (Open Educational Resource) training at a local school, Wikipedia edit-a-thon, citizen journalism, Creative Commons open mic and open movie sessions, etc. The movements that will be covered during Kumusha Bus will be Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Wiki Data and Open Data, Wiki News, Creative Commons, OSM (Open Street Map), GLAM, Open Data, OER (Open Educational Resource) and OKFN (Open Knowledge Foundation).
