Hi education friends!
Wiki Education, the organization that runs the education program in the US
and Canada, has been running a regular Speaker Series. This Zoom-based
webinar offers the opportunity for a series of panelists to share their
insights on a topic related to Wikimedia projects.
I'm particularly excited as the forthcoming edition features four of our
wonderful EduWiki-medians!
-Bukola James, EduWiki Nigeria
-Luisina Ferrante, Wikimedia Argentina
-Alexander Hilsenbeck Filho, Wiki Movimento Brasil
-Nebojša Ratković, Wikimedia Serbia
The session will be on Tuesday, May 14, at 17:00 UTC (see in your time zone

Wikipedia & Education User Group
I will be in Berkeley, California from April 4th to the 8th. I will be
meeting up with friends I grew up with.
One friend I will be introducing her to Wikipedia, and the work I have
been doing.
I am wondering if there are any Wikipedia user groups in Berkeley.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Linda Fletcher Dabo
