Hello Kannika, As far as I understand, these projects are limited to the Balkans and/or German speaking regions, isn't it?

Applications are open until May 29th! == What type of ideas are we looking for? == The program calls for ideas and projects that break down social and technical barriers preventing people from both accessing and contributing to free knowledge. The ideas could cover * new technologies or tools that support more diverse modes and formats of knowledge (audio, visual, video, etc.). One example for this is an UNLOCK 2020 project Audiopedia – an open source platform for audio content that addresses primarily non-readers in the Global South <https://www.audiopedia.org/>; or * further development of existing Wikimedia projects to create new impact projects, such as GovDirectory (participants in UNLOCK 2021) – a global directory of government agencies and their online presence by utilizing Wikidata. This project does not only use Wikidata, but also help improve the data on Wikidata <https://www.wikimedia.de/unlock/unlock-projects/government-online-presence-directory/>; or * alternative practices and concepts that create more opportunities for everyone to participate in free knowledge projects – your idea for a more inclusive representation of the diverse knowledge of our world. == Who can apply? == We are looking for Wikimedians as well as free knowledge enthusiasts, developers, designers and activists from outside the Wikimedia movement. UNLOCK 2022 has a geographical focus on Western Balkans and German-speaking regions. == Additional information and support == Please head over to the UNLOCK program page for details <https://www.wikimedia.de/unlock/program/>. If you require further assistance with your application or if you have an idea but are not sure whether or not to apply, feel free to reach out to the organizing team behind the program via email: unl...@wikimedia.de<mailto:unl...@wikimedia.de> All the best Kannika (WMDE) and Ivana (WMRS) -- Kannika Thaimai (she/her) Innovation Engine Strategy Lead WMDE innovation engine strategy<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Deutschland/Innovation_Engine> | UNLOCK Accelerator<https://www.wikimedia.de/unlock/> LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/unlock-acc> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/UNLOCK_Acc> Wikimedia Deutschland e.
