Dear African Wikimedians,

We’re excited to share the *EduWiki January 2026 Newsletter*, our first edition of the year!

This issue brings together *16 stories* from across the Wikimedia movement, offering a strong start to 2026. The submissions reflect how communities are planning their Wikimedia and education activities for the year ahead, alongside thoughtful recaps of education initiatives from 2025.

In this edition, you’ll also find stories celebrating Wikipedia at 25, including activities hosted by university clubs and community groups, as well as reflections on learning, outreach, and engagement across different regions and contexts.

Together, these stories highlight the diversity of approaches communities are taking to strengthen education, digital literacy, and open knowledge in 2026.

You can read the full newsletter here: *Education/Newsletter/January 2026 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/January_2026*

And with that, submissions for the *February 2026 Newsletter* are now open. As usual, we welcome *stories that are related to Wikimedia and Education*. You can submit stories here: *Education Newsroom https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/Newsroom*

Thank you to everyone who contributed and supported this issue. We look forward to receiving more education stories from across the movement. *Barakat Adegboye* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:BAdegboye_(EdWH) *EduWiki Connectors* Contents https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/March_2025 • Headlines https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/March_2025/Headlines • Subscribe https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_message_delivery/Targets/This_Month_in_Education
