>> of the Wikimedia Community User Group Côte d'Ivoire.
>>
>> Donatien is an experienced Wikipedia trainer, and a member of Wikifranca

>> scholarship committee, worked in the capacity building group for Movement
>> Strategy and collaborated with communities from Senegal, Togo, Chad and
>> Guinea. Most of his engagement is connected to the Community User Group
>> Côte d'Ivoire, which he co-founded and which he now leads.
>>
>> For Donatien the value of editing lies in learning through sharing. “Each
>> act of sharing knowledge in Wikipedia is about checking sources,
>> discovering new facts. Even if I already know a lot about the topic, I
>> discover new facts in sources. It is like swimming in information. Sharing
>> knowledge is not a passive process, it is a constant discovery. Through
>> contributing I have learned a lot about my country, Africa and the world.
>> Editing allows you to grow through giving”, says Donatien.

>> Each month we WikiCelebrate a different Wikimedian, acknowledging the
