Hello from ESEAP in Bali!
In November and December 2017, I had the great opportunity to extend some
planned travel in Asia to include site visits to Nepal, India and Taiwan.
During that time, I worked closely with local Wikimedians who were running
education programs in their communities. It was an amazing learning
experience, and will help to shape some of the support the Education Team
will provide to program leaders in the future.
I'm happy to share that today we are publishing a report
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/2017_Asia_report_summary> on the
activities and outcomes of the site visits, and a companion blog
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/05/03/wikimedia-education-asia/> post.
I hope you will take a look! The work that these Wikimedians are doing for
education in the movement is having an impact not only on the Wikimedia
projects, but also in their local communities. The Education Team will use
what we've learned from these site visits and from our research
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/01/23/education-survey-report/> on the
perception of education in the movement to shape our future work.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
best regards,
Nichole
