Txikipedia

Txikipedia is a Basque-language Wikipedia specifically designed for children. It was launched on February 14, 2008, as a project by the Basque Wikipedia community. The primary goal of Txikipedia is to provide an accessible and engaging encyclopedia for young readers in the Basque language, making knowledge available in a format that is easy for them to understand and enjoy.

The content on Txikipedia is written in simpler language than the main Basque Wikipedia and focuses on topics that are of particular interest to children. This includes subjects like animals, fairy tales, history, science, and everyday life. Articles are often shorter and may include more illustrations or diagrams to aid comprehension. The project aims to foster a love of reading and learning among young Basque speakers, encouraging them to engage with encyclopedic knowledge from an early age.

Txikipedia relies on contributions from volunteers who are dedicated to creating and maintaining the content. The development and growth of Txikipedia are a testament to the efforts of the Basque Wikipedia community to serve all segments of its language population, including its youngest members. It serves as a valuable educational resource for schools and families in the Basque Country.
