Dear Collab members, I want to make you aware of the existence of the Wikipedia store <https://store.wikimedia.org/>. You may know about the store already, but what you may not know, is that you can ask the Education team to sponsor gifts for volunteers. The Wikimedia Foundation can pay for those gifts (as long as the request is reasonable, of course). You can ask for gifts to thank and motivate cherished volunteers who work hard to make the education program a success. You can also give out small prizes to students in your education program to encourage them and give the program a competitive element. If you are interested in getting some swag from the store, please email education(a)wikimedia.org with the specific request that you have and we will work with you to get the swag to you! Thanks!

Dear Collab members, We are almost at the end of another quarter. And that means that we at the Wikimedia Foundation will be doing our quarterly reporting. In the quarterly report we will be talking about the Education Collab meeting. We will also report on the activity in Phabricator. *Please update any Phabricator tasks <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/education-collab/> assigned to you, or ones that you are closely involved with, no later than the end of the day (wherever you are) Monday, April 4th. *Please ask Tighe (in cc here) if you have any questions about this. Once again, it's been an honor working with all of you as part of the Education Collaborative. You are an awesome group of humans. I hope you continue moving forward with the Collab in the best way possible, and I have total faith that you will. Take care, all!

Dear Floor, I am really grateful for your trust, your guidance and your vision during this time. You are a remarkable example of a thoughtful leader who cares and supports the growth of each member of the team and the team as a whole. We will work hard to continue reinforcing the collab as an strategic place to think about Wikipedia and education. I wish you the best. Please keep in touch. Paola

Floor is leaving WMF

Dear Collab members, I am sad to announce that I will be leaving the Wikimedia Foundation. March 31st will be my last day. After I leave, Tighe will take over the leadership of the Education team. I have no doubt that the Wikipedia Education Program will be moving forward in the best way possible with Tighe leading it. It has been two very educational, inspiring, awesome, intense and exhausting years. I have loved working on building the Education team and guiding it forward in a good direction, despite difficult times. It has been wonderful getting to know all of you and to build the Collab together with you. You all know conditions within the WMF are difficult at the moment. We are going through a transition that has been a long time coming. The months (and maybe years) ahead will be difficult for us at the Wikimedia Foundation and for the movement as a whole that is impacted by what the Wikimedia Foundation does. I do not have the energy anymore to go through that period with the right mindset and the can-do attitude that is needed. It's time for someone else who does have that energy and optimism to move the team and the Wikimedia Foundation forward. I was so happy to be able to spend time with you all in Stockholm, and to do that in a positive an appreciative atmosphere. It was the best goodbye I could get (without you knowing this would be a goodbye), to see you all doing so well and to see the Collab truly come together as a group. It was a true joy. And for me personally, it has been one of the greatest achievements in my role to have built the Collab together with you all. I hope you will move the Collab forward together with all your amazing experiences! And I know that together with Tighe and his leadership, you will, and you will thrive. I can be reached on my personal email address: floorkoudijs(a)gmail.com. Take care, wonderful people. Warmly, Floor Floor Koudijs Senior Manager, Wikipedia Education Program Wikimedia Foundation +1.415.839.6885 x6806 (landline) +1.415.692.5289 (cell phone) fkoudijs(a)wikimedia.org education.wikimedia.org

Poster about the Collab

Hi all, Hope this finds you well. I was thinking of presenting a poster about the Collab in Wikimania, but then I thought that we already have that very cool infographic made in Stockholm, so why don't we use a digitalized copy of it in Wikimania, if this is at all possible. Best, Reem -- *Kind regards,Reem Al-Kashif*

Thank you!

Dear Education Collab members, Thank you so much to all of you who joined us in Stockholm, Sweden, for your participation during the Collab meeting. It was great to see all of you, and have your experience, ideas and energy together in one room to work on topics that will benefit the global community. It was wonderful to spend time with you and learn from your knowledge. Tighe will follow up next week with more detailed next steps from all our sessions. In the mean time, I have one question for you. We would love to write a blog post about the Collab, focusing on the improvements we implemented since last summer (as visually represented by the infographic created by Sami <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Collab_2015_info_graphic.png>r), and on the goals we set in Stockholm for the upcoming 18 months. It would be great if we can find one or two volunteers from the Collab group who are willing to take the lead on writing this blog post, and work with Maria Cruz (in cc) who works on communications with us on the PC&L team. Any volunteers? :) Feel free to claim the Phabricator task I created for this purpose here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129511 Thanks!
