Input needed for EduWiki Conference 2023

by LiAnna Davis

Wikipedia & Education enthusiasts, You may remember that the Wikipedia & Education User Group had been planning an in-person EduWiki Conference in Belgrade, Serbia, in late 2020. The event was obviously postponed due to the pandemic. We're pleased to say that we're re-starting our planning, with a target date for the conference of sometime around March/April 2023. As we undertake our planning, we'd like to get input from the EduWiki community on whether you'd like to attend such a conference, what topics you'd like to discuss, and what your priorities would be at a conference. We'll use these survey results to gauge interest in the conference, budget for scholarships, and design the program. Please fill out the survey by Wednesday, August 10: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc2MYKti1HPP9hWw_e0JUkMtq99k4Y2dTg… We look forward to your responses! --The Wikipedia & Education User Group Board
