Dear Wikimedia Education Enthusiasts,
We’re excited to invite you to join Wikimania 2025, happening in Nairobi, Kenya, from August 6-9, 2025, with a pre-conference on August 5. This year, as we celebrate two decades of Wikimania, our theme, "Wikimania at 20: Inclusivity. Impact. Sustainability," reflects our shared commitment to making free knowledge accessible, impactful, and lasting.
The Call for Program Proposals is open, and we encourage you to submit your ideas and expertise. Proposals can take various forms—whether as an onsite presentation in Nairobi, a remote session from your home or workplace, or a pre-recorded presentation. Submissions close on 31 March 2025, so don’t wait to make your mark!
To help spark ideas, here are a few topics that may align with the conference theme:
● Workshops that illustrate creative ways teachers and students are using Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects to foster inclusivity in education.
● Case studies demonstrating measurable impacts of Wikimedia projects in learning environments, such as improving digital literacy.
● Panels or talks discussing innovative strategies to sustain knowledge-sharing across diverse cultures and languages.
Visit the program submission site here: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2025:Program
We encourage you to share your unique perspectives and help shape meaningful conversations at the conference.
For inquiries, comments, or assistance with your proposal, please email wikimania(a)wikimedia.org. Our team of dedicated volunteers will be happy to guide you.
Additionally, to support you in developing your proposals, the Programme Subcommittee will host a consultation hour: 📅 Today, Thursday, 20 March 🕐 13:00 UTC (Find your local time at https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1742475600) 🌐 Video Call Link: https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/84172058297 💬 Live Interpretation Available in Arabic, French, and Swahili
We hope to see program proposals from the vibrant Wikimedia Education community, showcasing your invaluable contributions to inclusive and impactful education. Let’s make Wikimania 2025 a conference to remember, shaped by voices and ideas like yours!
Warm regards,
Butch Bustria

Hi
We are reaching out to share that we have proposed a project - Designing a template for a sustainable education program. In the proposed program, we will study the previously organized education programs, their outcomes, challenges, and issues. We will also design and practice a methodology on a structured and governed education program to observe the difference in engagement and outcome. As a final outcome, we expect to create and share a template for a sustainable education program in India.
Please find more details here- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Research_%26_Engagement_Proj…
If you like the project, please show your support by endorsing us.
Regards,
Febin
Hi everyone, I hope you are doing good, I am introducing Community
Communications Collaborators and some updates on Outreach Wiki in this
email. TL;DR
-
Apply for Community Communications Collaborators (CCC) by signing up in
this form: https://bit.ly/eduwikiccc
-
Find the roles for CCC here: https://w.wiki/WJw
-
Join us for the education office hours on 16th July to know more about
the project: https://w.wiki/WJy
In 2018, our team worked on revamping the Education space on Outreach Wiki.
The current space includes a new user-friendly design and many platforms
for the community and affiliates involved in Wikimedia Education projects
to share their work. Over the last two years, we have adopted a new logo
for Wikimedia Education, we are promoting the Education brand with the help
of the community through the resources and guidelines that can be found here
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Resources/Brand_guidelines>.
While the new pages make the Education space accessible, there is still
some work to do, and for this we want to encourage and support the
Wikimedia education community to take ownership of the Outreach Wiki space.
We are setting a goal for the education space in Outreach Wiki to be
curated entirely by community members across the Wikimedia movement:
education leaders like you who will lead in documenting, organizing,
sharing, and archiving the work done by our diverse Wikimedia education
communities.
We are introducing:
Community Communications Collaborators (or CCC) are a dynamic group of
Wikimedians working along with the education team at the Wikimedia
Foundation. Together we will support education leaders and other
stakeholders in our movement with better networking and communication
practices for growth. To encourage participation and to recognise the works
of the collaborators, we have decided certain rewards on completing
different milestones. Find more about CCC, roles and recognitions here:
https://w.wiki/WKR
We encourage volunteers from all regions and genders to be a part of this
project! We expect the group of Community Communications Collaborators to
represent the diversity of our movement and the call for participation will
be open until we achieve this goal. Respecting the privacy of the members,
personal information provided will not be shared with an external audience.
To apply for this opportunity, please complete this form:
https://bit.ly/eduwikiccc
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I will be happy
to answer them. Looking forward to working closely with you in this
project. Feel free to share this in your network.
This survey will be conducted via a third-party service, which may subject
it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling,
see the survey privacy statement :
