- Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)
Belarus and Poland are neigbouring countries. They are also historically, culturally and ethnically very close to each other. However, because of political reasons, they are now very isolated from each other. Governments are hostile; people from Poland don't know much about Belarus, except of some stereotypes, and vice versa. Two years ago an idea of cooperation of our Wikipedias appeared. There is Belarusian minority in Poland, and quite big diaspora in Polish cities. Therefore, a group of Polish Wikipedia editors started to organise workshops for Belarusians in Warsaw and other cities. In july, first Belarusian-Polish Wikicamp will be organised. We would like to tell about this activity to show that international cooperation of Wikipedia communities can be fruitful and effective despite political tensions.

- Will you attend Wikimania if your submission is not accepted?
It depends on Wikimedia Polska decision about the scholarship. I am not able to attend the Wikimania without it. If my submission is not accepted, it is much less likely the scholarship will be granted.
