Purpose of Survey

We appreciate your feedback! The goal of the survey is to gather what languages need to be prioritized for the day of the community call, see how many people will sign up and see who is interested to participate to speak at the call about their capacity building projects.

What Information We Collect

These surveys collect the responses you provide to the questions asked. There are two types of answers: defined responses and free-form responses.
