Dear Wikimedia Education community,
We’re so excited to invite you to explore Wikimedia Space [1] with us
through a new category just for Education[2]. We’ll be piloting the use of
this category to centralize communications about Wikimedia & Education,
share active discussions, and announce events on the
centralized map[3] and calendar[4]. You’ll still be able to find static
information and resources on Outreach Wiki, with more dynamic information
living on Wikimedia Space.
Wikimedia Space is a new platform introduced by the Wikimedia Foundation
which aims to become a point of centralization and redistribution of news
and conversations. The Space is also a place where anyone can ask any
question related to Wikimedia and find answers. Wikimedia Space has a
variety of multilingual features [5] that are currently being expanded, and
can already host resources and conversations in multiple languages. As the
Wikimedia Space is still a prototype, together we can explore different
opportunities and collaborations.
Some of the future possibilities include adding lesson plans, publishing
event reports, sharing news, and even fostering mentorship in closed
groups. Let’s brainstorm together[6] on what we want for our Education
category!
