Dear Wikimedians,
Today is the last day of EduWiki Week. Thank you for your support and
participation.
During the week we had the opportunity to engage with you at various
events. It was exciting to learn about the work of our community members.
All interviews and recordings will be available on our M
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/EduWiki_Week_2022>eta page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/EduWiki_Week_2022> starting next
week. We welcome your feedback and suggestions for improving this effort in
2023.
Here is the agenda for today's event:
Today's theme: How to improve our engagement in EduWiki Week? Share your
thoughts and feedback on EduWiki Week. How can it be improved and what can
it bring to the next iteration?
Use #EduWikiWeek2022 to reply to tweets or create Facebook posts from your
social media accounts to share your story. You can write to me too!

Dear Wikimedians, Welcome to the 4th day of EduWiki Week. We want to take a
moment to acknowledge that some of our communities are facing hardships
this week and extend our support and solidarity to them. We know that there
are people in our community who are unable to engage. We have heard about
teacher strikes in some places, and of course, we know that our colleagues
in Ukraine are facing an increasingly scary situation. While we wanted this
week to have an atmosphere of celebration and carnival, perhaps for today
we can instead offer a more quiet atmosphere of solidarity.
So on that note, let’s look at the program for today:
Theme of the day: Sharing our resources
Share with the resources you’ve created to support your programs like
training materials, videos, posters, or anything else you’ve created to
support the use of Wikimedia in the classroom. Tweet us or make a Facebook
post using #EduWikiWeek2022. Reply here or write a newsletter article!
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/Newsroom
Live events for today:
Faisal Saeed Al Mutar, Ideas Beyond Borders, - watch live on Faebook
<https://www.facebook.com/WikimediaEducationTeam> at 17:00 UTC
Trivia of the day: This Wikimedia chapter maintains a repository of open
educational resources for teachers in their country and Latin America. This
includes lesson plans, videos, and booklets created by their Education and
Human Rights team, but also by local teachers. Which chapter is it?

the rest of the week and other asynchronous events on Meta-Wiki!
Thank you for your continued support of EduWiki Week!

Hello again everyone,
We recognize that the Community Development community call is scheduled
during the same time as some events of EduWiki Week next week. This may
have caused a conflict for volunteers who expressed interest in attending
either event.
We apologize for the oversight of the scheduling of the community call and
would like to encourage volunteers to attend the EduWiki live session as it
is a great opportunity to virtually celebrate the education work happening
in the movement.
Our team will be hosting more community calls in the near future and will
also be publishing digests of each call on our meta page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Calls>. The digest from our
first call will be published within 48 hours after the call.
If you have any questions or concerns about the community calls of the
Community Development team, please feel free to email Cassie Casares

Thank you,
