Hello everyone,
The Wikipedia & Education User Group is conducting a survey to understand
the technological needs of EduWiki community across the movement. The
results of this survey will not only assist to map the global needs of the
leaders of Wikimedia in Education, but also help us to prioritize the
needs. The Wikipedia & Education User Group’s goal is to support the
development of better resources and technical tools to support the work
happening around the world. Please help us spread the word. Every EDUWiki
user/leader counts, and the more people fill out this survey, the easier it
will be to advocate for our needs.
Link to the survey form:

Also, as some you of might already be aware that the User Group is
organizing EduWiki Conference 2020, in Serbia, we have proposed a grant to
WMF in this regard. We would like community members to go through it and
endorse it at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Conference/Wikimedia_Serbia/EduWiki_…
.
Let us know if you have any questions regarding the survey or the
conference.
Regards,

Hi everyone,
I am looking for someone to co-write an article for an ethnographic
scientific magazine in Poland "Łódzkie Studia Etnograficzne" (Łódzkie is
from Łódź - the town in central Poland). They asked me specifically about
the subject of education & Wikipedia. It can be even a news-style article,
but 20,000 letters minimum. I am myself an ethnographer and I coordinated
two GLAMwiki-projects about ethnography, so that would be my part. And
maybe someone could add information about the Wikimedia Education movement
(idea, events, goals etc.)?
I can't write it by myself, because it has to be co-author not from Poland
:) Join me!

Hey EduWiki community,
This year the education team will be attending UNESCO’s mobile learning
week (MLW) in Paris from 2nd March till 6th March. Like the previous
year[1], we again have a table during the conference to help anyone
interested in learning more about Wikimedia projects.
It is a great opportunity for us to showcase the work of our community with
our allies and other high level education actors, like government agencies
and international donors.
*What do we need from you? *
A 30-45 seconds video sharing the following details (can be in any
language[1])
-
Who are you? Where are you based in?
-
The language Wikimedia project you contribute to?
-
What difference is Wikimedia bringing in Education?
This video will be played in the television set provided with the table.
Please share your recorded video with us by 27th February, upload it to
your drive or on Wikimedia Commons and share the link with me at
spatnaik(a)wikimedia.org. Also, a declaration of video under CC-BY-SA 4.0

Dear all,
I am Cristian and I am new to this list. I am not new to the movement
and education initiatives. I have been part of Wikimedia Italy for the
last 12 years, 7 of which I have spent serving in the board.
I wanted to share this project that I have just proposed for a project
grant:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Community_Health_Metrics:_Un…
We are team of 3 researchers from Eurecat, a research center in
Barcelona. We have quite an extensive experience doing research on
Wikipedia both on content and user interactions.
Our aim is to study editor's lifecycle to identify factors associated
with editors leaving the project and make what we discover available
through dashboards that can be used by the communities to plan further
actions.
We would like to involve the community as much as possible when choosing
on which metrics we should focus on, and we would like to hear your
feedback.
Thank you.
Cristian

framework that provides shared clarity and outlines accessible pathways on
how to grow and develop skills within the movement. To this end, we are
looking to speak with YOU, our community to learn about your journey as a
Wikimedia volunteer. Whether you joined yesterday or have been here from
the very start, we want to hear about the many ways volunteers join and
contribute to our movement.
