Hello everyone,
As many ease into the weekend, we’re pleased to share a newly published
Diff post from the EduWiki Hub
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group/EduWiki_…>
.
The article highlights our latest Open Educational Resources documentation
update, covering materials added between *January and March 2026*. It
offers a glimpse into resources that can support educators, trainers, and
learners working with Wikimedia projects, while also pointing readers to
the growing collection maintained through the Hub.
Featured themes include teaching with Wikipedia, information literacy, and
the role of generative AI in learning.
If you have a moment this weekend, we hope you’ll find it a worthwhile read.
Read the post here <https://bit.ly/4cXRz2H>
We’d also be glad to hear what kinds of resources you would like to see
documented in future editions.

Hello,
Over the last few months the Global GLAM Calls
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_GLAM_calls> have grown
significantly! This month in April there were more than 100 registrations,
and 50 attendees on the call. This is incredible!
All this is thanks to your contribution, curiosity, and continued
engagement with culture, heritage, and Wikimedia projects.
In case you missed the call the recording is already available
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Global_GLAM_call_2026-04-28> on
Commons. The topics, presenters, and documents, are also neatly organized
in Metabase <https://metabase.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q43731> for easy
search and reference.
But now’s the time to build out the agendas for the coming months. Do you
have a topic you’d like to present on or have a request for? Send it to the
organizers via the request form
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_GLAM_Calls/Topic_Requests> on
Meta-wiki.
In 2026 there’s special focus on topics from the Strategic Pillars (Small
GLAMs, Minority Languages, Robust Technical Infrastructure, and Community
(mental) Health, and GLAM Recognition) but all kinds of presentations and
discussions are welcome.
Registration for the May call
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Global_GLAM_call_2026-05-26> is
already open, though the agenda is not 100% ready. See you online!
All the best,
