Hi all,
Longtime lurker on this list :)
I wanted to share a campaign I am running as COMMUNIA to fix copyright for education. As some of you may know there is a law being discussed right now in Europe that will change the way we can use materials in and outside the classroom for education. We are trying to improve that law by showing public support for a copyright that enables education, instead of imposing very strict rules.
You can read more here: www.rightcopyright.eu <http://www.rightcopyright.eu/>
I really hope that you will (1) sign the petition if you have not yet done so, and (2) spread the word to your friends in education and beyond that this is something education needs: a more flexible copyright. You can use sample tweets, images, infographics and other fun things that you can find here: https://rightcopyright.eu/spread-the-word/ <https://rightcopyright.eu/spread-the-word/> or simply retweet this <https://twitter.com/communia_eu/status/862246004518735872>.
I appreciate any support.
Please feel free to ask me anything about the campaign, or about why we need a better copyright for education.
Thank you,
Lisette Kalshoven

There is not much narrative, but a list of articles written, for the
Guggenheim project here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Guggenheim_Museum/Education
The "Internal" ones are with museum interns, who are often students or
recent students, and we used education-related tools and the model of
Wikipedia education programs.
The "External" ones were actual educational assignments with outside
university classes.
Thanks,
Pharos

Hello education community!
I'm happy to announce that the new issue of This Month in Education
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News> is out. Our featured
topic series on overcoming challenges continues with a thought provoking
article about responsibility for student submissions. Please contribute
your thoughts on the talk page! We also have some reflections on WMCon17 in
this issue, and of course updates about programs around the world!
I'd like to take this time to also say that we'd love to have more
volunteers work with us to produce this newsletter. Please reach out if you
would be interested!
Don't forget to submit your stories for the next issue by 20 May!
I hope you all are having a great start to the week.
best,
