Dear all,
As you know, Wikimania is happening in a couple of week and we'll soon have
a chance to meet in person with at least a few of you in Stockholm.
I'm happy to report that the Education Space is 90% ready (and will be 100%
ready in the coming days), which give me a good opportunity to thank the
Program Committee that worked on making our Space's program a reality!
I'd also like to thank Krishna

who've created this beautiful page that lists all sessions
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Education/Program>in our space
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Education/Program> and their
rooms. You can of course see it as part of the whole Wikimania Program,
which is also linked at the top of this page.
Please note:
1. 1) The content of each submission page will be edited further in the
coming days so you'll have an updated version of the speakers and content.
Still if there are any questions, please let us know.
2. 2) We're planning a meetup for everyone interested in Education.
It'll be on Friday at 21:00, probably at one of the hotels, after dinner,
so stay tuned. We'll update exactly where when we are there.
3. 3) Some session will be featuring people joining us remotely. We're
really hoping all sessions will be recorded, but as of now, that's not
confirmed yet.
Finally, we've made an effort to have an active and engaging program,
preferring this year more panels and workshops, and keeping personal
lectures to a minimum, with only 2 keynote lectures and 1 session of
TED-like 10 minutes lightning talks. We've also made an effort to identify
missing topics and "invite" speakers to explore them. *If you have any
questions or comments on the program and its format, please feel free to
contact us. *
Looking forward to meeting you all,
Shani (on behalf of the program's committee)
