Hello all, thank to Juan for his report
Hello Mina, thanks for info :)
I am another of the participants of the CAP-like project with ISP.
======= Some more info: =========
****Generally****
We here in Czech Republic do gather several Wikimedians who are interested
to start more serious collaboration with institution of higher education.
Being inspired by CAP, we try to start our own collaboration projects over
here too.
While we try to build our infrastructure/resources and rethink/familiarise
ourselves with the concept and all the options we can offer to the teachers,
we have several interested parties already. Several of them are Universities
with interest to give seminar assignments to students to write articles in
Czech Wikipedia (i.e. in Czech language) as seminar work, e.g. Charles
University of Prague, Faculty of Science [1], University of Pardubice
Faculty of restoration [2][4], Department of the History of Art of Palacky
University in Olomouc [3][4]...
Moreover there seems to be other institutions interested in collaboration
with Wikimedia/Wikipedia in english language. (We were little bit unprepared
for this first, nevertheless given the wealth of resources on outreach wiki,
it makes sense, and it is looking so far optimistically).
****ISP****
International School of Prague is (high end) high school offering high
quality education to children with english as their primary language (or
having similar skill in english). ISP above mentioned by Juandev is one
of the (two) institutions interested in collaboration with english
Wikipedia.
While we are in the midst of explaining the essentials of Wikiwork to the
teachers, I am just now personally concerned about, how to find the best
approach, best assignment for high school kids. (By profession I am
scientist, so my primary concern were University students).
Have a good time
Regards
Petr Skupa [[U:Reo On]]
Even though we hope we can find the best fitting syllabus in collaboration
with the teachers of the above-mentioned school (they are very professional
and very attentive), might you have any advices, any tips?

Hello from Greece, and good luck to your initiative! It seems very
promising, I hope you send us feedback from the
efforts, as a Wikipedia
editing campaign is also active in Greece, and teachers such as myself
are interested in ways to encourage Wikipedia editing in the classroom.
A curious coincidence is that I presented a Wikipedia editing workshop at
an education event in Prague just two months ago... here is the article I
wrote on outreach:
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editing_workshops/Prague_%28Czech_Republ…
I have been integrating Wikipedia in all our school projects since 2007,
it is the perfect "platform" for sharing knowledge gained by students and
teachers in the course of a school assignment. Also, don't forget that
contributing multimedia to Commons is of a world-wide benefit, transcending
country and language borders...:)))

Prague
Hi folks,
I would like to announce a cooperation between Wikipedia and International
School of Prague (ISP)[1] which starts now. Czech Wikipedians had already
visited three times ISP. On first two sessions we had agreed that there is a
will to get Wikipedia to ISP and go for a long term cooperation based on
creation of the new article and further understanding of this web resource.
Third meeting held today and it was traing of teachers and answering their
questions. We will continue with this training and we will start to work on
getting Wikipedia to teacher's syllabus on the next meetings. You can see
the development via the project page (pages News and Feedback).[2]
Regards,
Juandev
