Hello friends, Hope this finds you well. I was thinking that having a Collab meetup at Wikimania might give us a chance to review what we are up to? Let me know if you think this is a good idea, and I will create the meetup proposal :) Best, Reem -- *Kind regards,Reem Al-Kashif*

Brazilian Wikipedia Science Conference - CCBWIKI
by Rodrigo Padula 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Hello everyone! The Wikimedia Brazilian Group of Education and Research[1] will host on October 13th and 14th in Rio de Janeiro the "1st Brazilian Wikipedia Science Conference" This event aims to bring together students, teachers and researchers with projects and publications about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects and their dynamics. We are almost done and soon we will announce our official website and call for papers. Articles and poster will be accepted. The Wikimedia Foundation has validated our logo [2] and the use of the Wikipedia brand in the event name. We are using as inspiration the events organized by Wikimedia UK[3] and OpenSym[4]. We are trying to bring to Brazil some important keynotes from our movement. If someone from this list is interested in coming to visit us, let's keep in touch! That event is under organization in a very organic and experimental way, with no funding from WMF to see the impact and interest from the local academic community. Based on the results and impacts we will try to do something bigger in 2017. All the content produced during the event will be published in CC licenses (photos, videos, interviews, publications). Soon we will have more news!

Need help of an Italian speaker ASAP

Hi all, I need help of someone who knows Italian to review about 400 words I drafted for the Collab brochure. It won't take long (maybe just 5 minutes), just a quick review to ensure that my Italian is OK. Contact me off-list, if you can help :) Best, Reem -- *Kind regards,Reem Al-Kashif*

Hi Reem, I think a brochure is a great idea! Maybe you could use Melina's wonderful infographic about the collab (or something similar) to make the brochure more attractive. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1erV4ZZInKrBJlVS_xhVWjY8bHBXF8R8gM3qQgDg… Cheers, Paola

Collab Brochure
by Reem Al-Kashif 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Hii :) Hope this finds you all well. Since we agreed that the Collab needs more publicity, I thought that having a brochure about the Collab at Wikimania would be nice. I am going to prepare a simple brochure about the Collab and have it on our Wikimedia Egypt table. I was thinking of something simple just to introduce the Collab to people interested in WEPs. Any ideas? In your opinion, what are the most interesting things that should be included? Best, Reem -- *Kind regards,Reem Al-Kashif*

Benelux joining
by Romaine Wiki 27 May '16

27 May '16

Hi all, Yesterday I had a call with Tighe and Vahid on me joining the collab: Hi! One of the subjects that came around in our call was question in what stage other collab members are with their education programs at universities. But let me first introduce how we came to that question. I am organising the education program for the past three years in the Netherlands and in Belgium. So far we have done projects at 6 universities/colleges, organised/organise 7 courses, and organised or participated in 26 education sessions/trainings/workshops/edit-a-thons. In most of the universities we have done trainings/workshops/edit-a-thons in Wikipedia that were individual activities, like organised by individual students, or student groups, or staff members. In two universities this has grown further to courses every year, but those are courses that are done in the capacity of the individual teachers/professors involved, and not done as a university as a whole. There it is important to keep the Wikipedia collaboration active and continue over the years, this we (Wikimedia) set as strategic priority. And at one university this has evolved further to a situation where the management of the university recognises the collaboration with Wikipedia/Wikimedia, and as the university exists now for 40 years (Maastricht), they want to do broader activities with Wikipedia this year. After my suggestion they have adopted the idea that we also organise a knowledge session and workshop for all the staff of the university that is interested to learn more about the possible collaborations with Wikipedia. There they get a introduction about Wikimedia, but especially also talks from their colleagues in the university that did the courses in the past years. We are happy with this development as this gives us stable ground at the university. Vahid asked me if the there are phases to be recognised, and I had to answer yes and no to this. In the past month I already tried to think about this and came to the conclusion that the support and help from the university library staff is important for the developments, but at the same time makes it more complex and not that simple. But if I would define phases, we have seen so far three phases (but not every university is at the same phase): the first phase I would describe as having trainings, workshops, edit-a-thons that are only done once, have an open character, etc. The second phase I would describe as teachers/professors organise a course with us. The third phase I would describe as the phase where the management of the university recognises the collaboration somehow and takes us seriously. These three phases describe just one possible route, the one bottom-up in the university. We also tried another route, top-down, as in 2015 we tried to talk to university management boards to have Wikipedia used in their courses, but that failed completely. I am aware that in many places in the world a different approach, tactic, program, etc is used/set-up, but does anyone of you recognise in your local edu collaboration the steps/phases we are going through? It would be interested to see where you are after/in these steps, what you have done, so that can inspire us for possible approaches and activities. Further I am also interested in other approaches and activities, good ideas are worth copying. I would love to hear from you at Wikimania how you how you do it, what steps you took/take, let's meet! And if you want to learn from how we have done it, just ask me! :-) One thing that I noticed in the past months that it is to me obvious that Wikipedia belongs in education, but the why that is, is still not clearly defined, so far I have seen. I think it would be good for us to clearly describe and define why Wikipedia should be used in education, described with good clear arguments, that match with the language people from universities are common to. One of the next steps we plan to do is to create a folder/brochure we can spread to teachers/professors that describes why it is good to use Wikipedia in the classroom. For keeping an overview and documenting the activities we have done we have a portal where we collect this (to show universities we do it already for some time) at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Benelux_Education_Program PS: Besides this e-mail address you can also use romaine(a)wikimedia.nl and romaine(a)wikimedia.be for official purposes, it all ends up in this mailbox here. Greetings, Romaine
