Dear EduWiki Community,
In January 2026, Wikipedia marks 25 years of open knowledge, collaboration,
and global impact. To celebrate this milestone, the EduWiki Hub
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group/EduWiki_…>
will host a special Wikipedia@25 celebration on 22 January 2026, taking
place during our first Knowledge Showcase
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group_Sh…>
of the year.
As part of the celebration, we are inviting members of the Wikimedia and
education communities to share short creative contributions of 1-5 minutes,
such as poems or brief performances reflecting on how they have contributed
to Wikipedia, how Wikipedia has contributed to them, or how they have used
Wikipedia in education. These creative reflections will be featured during
the celebration segment of the Knowledge Showcase as we honour the people
and stories behind 25 years of Wikipedia.
If you are interested in contributing, please upload your creative ideas to
this folder
<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1M5JqIHv6cF1FJg9KX2tPsUh8UgryCns8?us…>
with
your name/username as the title or contact bukola.james(a)wmnobrasil.org
directly if you would love to be featured live during the showcase with a
brief description of your proposed contribution.
Participation in the celebration is part of the EduWiki Knowledge Showcase,
and attendance requires registration

Dear GLAM Community,
Happy 2026!
We're excited to share that our GLAM Community Calls will be happening on
the fourth Tuesday of each month throughout 2026. Mark your calendars for
this month's call on January 27 at 13:30 UTC – you can register now on the
event page.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_GLAM_calls
The calls will continue alternating between 8:00 UTC and 13:30 UTC to
accommodate community members across different time zones, with ongoing
support from the Content Partnerships Hub and the Content Enablement Team
at the Wikimedia Foundation.
We want to hear from you!
We're inviting everyone in the Global GLAM Community to submit your topic
requests and proposals.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeX0hCAnZzbUdTLY2ncYBuFj0sn7aTw8Jf…
We're building our upcoming agendas around the five strategic pillars that
were developed at GLAM Wiki last year, which form the foundation for GLAM
activities in 2026 and beyond. By centering these pillars in our calls, we
hope to help affiliates and contributors prioritize these themes in their
own work and collaborate across time zones, countries, and languages to
advance GLAM Wiki activities together.
We are also welcoming new hosts for the calls! If you are interested in
getting involved as an organizer please use the form above as well. Looking
forward to seeing you at the call!
All the best,
GLAM Community Call Organizers
Dear Education Community,
The *Call for Proposals for the ESEAP Conference 2026* is ongoing and
closing tomorrow, *December 21, 2025*.
The East, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific (ESEAP) region is home to some of
the most dynamic and resilient education programs in our movement. As we
look toward the 2026 conference, we see a vital opportunity to highlight
the intersection of *Open Education* and regional collaboration.
*Why submit an Education-focused proposal?* We are looking to create
synergy between the global EduWiki goals and regional realities. We
strongly encourage submissions that explore:
-
*Cross-Border Mentorship:* How established education programs can mentor
emerging communities within ESEAP.
-
*Localized Pedagogy:* Adapting Wikipedia assignments to fit diverse
linguistic and cultural curriculums in Asia and the Pacific.
-
*Institutional Partnerships:* Strategies for onboarding universities and
libraries in the region.
-
*Youth Engagement:* Leveraging the student population in ESEAP to bridge
the contributor gap.
If you have a project, a success story, or a workshop idea that can help
strengthen the educational fabric of the ESEAP region, we want to see it in
the program.
*Submission Details:*
-
*Conference site: *https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ESEAP_Conference_2026
-
*Deadline:* Sunday, December 21, 2025 (Tomorrow!)
-
*Submit your proposal here:*
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ESEAP_Conference_2026/Program/Submissions
Let’s ensure that Education remains a central pillar of the conversation in
the ESEAP region.

Dears,
is there anyway, we somehow limit the nr. of useless emails in this
list? Would be much appreciated. It used to be fairly good connection
hub for all of us, sharing valuable updates. Lately it is getting on my
nerves :D
Festive greetings, to those who matter with their content in this list. <3
