Re: [Education-collab] updates for March: in-person meeting discussion

In-person meeting of the Collab It's time to start thinking about the coming Face-to-Face meeting of the Collab. One key question we need to look at is: *Where shall we hold the in-person meeting?* Last year the meeting was held in Stockholm, and it's vital to reach an agreement of where we should be holding the coming meeting. *Are there a Collab members that would like to volunteer to be the host?* Please let us know as soon as possible. Topics to be covered: Among other topics, we would like to propose that during the in-person meeting we take a fresh look at the goals of the Collab, to see how they align with what the Collab wants to get done. A new topic we would like to propose is the creation of a framework for "quality" in Education programs. A placeholder for the meetup has been created on-wiki at: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Wikipedia_ Education_Collaborative/Meetup2017 WikiCon17 At the initiative of WMIL and WMAR, an *Education Session*, dedicated to Education Programs will be held parallel to the Learning Days, right before WikiCon. We expect this will make sure that Education is included in the discussion on strategy that will be held during WikiCon. A few of the members of the Collab will be participating, as representatives for their Affiliates. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/News/ Learning_Days_for_Wikimedia_Conference_2017/Education_session There might also be an opportunity to have a meetup with the Collab members that will participate at WikiCon17... Who's going? I hope to hear from you soon!
