Wikipedia & Education enthusiasts,
The Wikipedia & Education User Group and our hosts Wikimedia Colombia are
thrilled to announce applications are open to attend EduWiki Conference
2025 (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EduWiki_Conference_2025), the
conference for those working in the Education space of Wikimedia.
Applications will be accepted until *November 17, 2024*. The conference
will be held in Bogotá, Colombia, on May 31-June 1, 2025.
This conference is a platform for shared experience from working in the
Education space of Wikimedia. The conference welcomes education leaders in
Wikimedia and mission aligned organizations. The program will be built
collaboratively under the coordination of the Program Committee.
Before you rush off to apply, please carefully read these important
details!

Wikimedia and education leaders worldwide, all interested prospective

no later opportunity to register; if you want to attend EduWiki 2025,
you must apply by November 17.

We are offering a limited number of full and partial scholarships,

The Wikipedia & Education User Group invites you to attend our next
EduWiki Showcase, on Thursday, 14 November. Joining us will be
Florencia Gustavino, Head of Education and Human Rights from Wikimedia
Argentina, who will be presenting on generative AI and education.
Florencia will explain a survey Wikimedia Argentina has been running
on generative AI in education, present a preliminary analysis of the
results, and also discuss results from a virtual course WM-AR ran in
October for teachers. We'll also have an opportunity for attendees to
share what they've learned about generative AI and its connections to
their education programs.
Join us:
