Dear friends,
We are delighted to invite you to this month's EduWiki Live event which
will take place on *28th/10/2022*, from *15:00 UTC* to 16:00 UTC.
The Wikimedia Foundation's education team hosts EduWiki Live events
quarterly to connect the education community with stakeholders from the
education sector to help them understand best practices from a global
education perspective. These spaces allow the international community of
Wikimedians who care about education to connect with academic experts,
policymakers, and educational researchers.
In the previous edition of EduWiki live
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04h7Hj7Ke9Q&t=176s> we were joined by Dr.
Guadalupe Vadillo and Dr. Jackeline Bucio from the Universidad Nacional
Autónoma de México (UNAM), experts in open education and educational
research. They presented the importance of documenting EduWiki strategies
to preserve the educational experience (data, success factors, pitfalls),
so new teachers can learn from previous experiences.
We will be joined at this event by librarians Alice Kibombo and Laurie
Bridges, who have led various Wikimedia Education initiatives in their
respective communities. They will discuss how academia and libraries
collaborate using Wikipedia and its sister projects in educational
institutions.
Our social media channels will be live-streaming the event. The following
are the specifics:

Hello everyone!
We hope you know that the Leadership Development Working Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Leadership_Development_W…>
(LDWG)
has been working for the past few months to formulate and find ways to
nurture leadership for our movement. The LDWG is a group of Wikimedia
volunteers representing different communities, languages, roles, and
experiences. We are pleased to report that our draft definition of
leadership
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Leadership_Development_W…>
is
now available for community comment. This first draft was written after
months of discussion, learning, and sharing of perspectives from our
community. The Wikimedia Movement, which is diverse by nature and has
particular characteristics due to its distinctive way of working, has been
expressly considered and included in this definition.
Please consider revising the definition and let us know what you think
by* October
6, 2022*. The draft includes a general definition of leadership and
subcategories detailing the actions, qualities, and results of good
leadership.
There are many places where you can express your ideas, suggestions, and
feedback, such as the Meta talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Leadership_Developm…>
,

post.
You can also email us directly at *leadershipworkinggroup(a)wikimedia.org
<leadershipworkinggroup(a)wikimedia.org>* .
You can check if the general definition and the subcategories fit your idea
of leadership in the movement. You can also try to find information gaps,
maybe some of the qualities of a leader or something else are missing in
this draft definition, or you can check if the definition applies to all
cultural, linguistic, community or other contexts belonging to the movement
and share your ideas with us.
Join us in celebrating the diverse and distinctive leadership of our
movement.
Cordially,
The Leadership Development Task Force

Hello,
I hope everything is well with you.
Thank you for joining us for the recently concluded EduWiki live, which
featured Dr. Jackline Bucio and Dr. Guandalupe Vadillo from Mexico's UNAM
University. Their presentation focused on some of their experiences as well
as the importance of research in communicating the impact of Wikimedia
projects on the education sector.
Your questions were insightful and helpful in steering the conversation to
a much broader perspective and understanding.
