Dear Affiliates,
The Education team[1] at the Wikimedia Foundation is conducting research
through our Graduate Fellow to better understand academic faculty’s
perceptions of Wikipedia in Higher Education and the current efforts,
opportunities, and challenges for our communities supporting higher
education work. You are kindly invited to participate in this
<https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eP7KAkbDMYDocu2>survey
<https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eP7KAkbDMYDocu2>.
<https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eP7KAkbDMYDocu2> We appreciate
your participation in taking the survey for Affiliates, and we hope you can
also share the survey for
<https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8BN5Dwp8sl1bkIm>academic
faculty <https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8BN5Dwp8sl1bkIm> in
your networks.
Additionally, we need help translating these surveys. If you are able,
please help us translate them into any additional language. We especially
want to be able to share it in the major UN languages and as many smaller
languages as possible. We’ll announce when we get translations in
additional languages. It’s very easy to help with translations, all you
have to do is open the spreadsheets linked below and follow the simple
directions on the first tab.

Dear Wikimedians,
Thanks for joining us during EduWiki Week. We were inspired by all the
stories and discussions that took place during the week. Start the new week
by watching the recordings of the sessions on the event page[1]. There are
lots of inspirational stories from the EduWiki community around the world.
You will also learn how the work of our allied organizations aligns with
the Wikimedia movement.
Share your learnings from the session recordings on social media platforms
using #EduWikiWeek2022. You can share your work with the wider community by
writing an article in the education newsletter[2]. If you have organized
asynchronous/local events during the week, please share them in the
newsletter. We look forward to reading them.

2023.
Here is the agenda for today's event:
Today's theme: How to improve our engagement in EduWiki Week? Share your

it bring to the next iteration?

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?
Find the agenda
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/EduWiki_Week_2022#Agenda> for
the rest of the week and other asynchronous events on Meta-Wiki!
Thank you for your continued support of EduWiki Week!
