From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Confini is a two-year project that aims to outline the African routes of migrants and to give information on their processes and outcomes through operating modalities into Wikipedia and Internet active realities.

Confini project contains three topics that mutually evolve. Places, routes and migrants paths pass through the itinerary of migration: starting, transit and arrival points. It discovers detention camps, personal relationship and distances, disclosing difficulties and unsteadiness of those who migrates but also of those who stays. It creates a web of human resources able to enforce cooperation and a share of knowledge between all associations, operators and people involved in migrant processes. The target is to draw a map of migrant motion and to pick up actual narrations: interviews, tales and videos that will be up loaded in different projects and linguistic versions of Wikipedia.

With the section Didactics and care the Asinitas Associazione of Rome supplies training activities of language and IT in support to migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.

And through the section words and sounds of migrant identity it will build creative writing workshop in which encourage migrant representation in Italy.

Confini launches the Migrant portal on Wikipedia to enrich voices of WikiAfrica project and to add elements for an archive of migrant memory.
