Hola everybody!
I hope this message finds you well and healthy. I wanted to share with you the news that the Education team has completed the pilot stage of the Wikimedia & Education Greenhouse online course. We published a brief recap of the last unit along with some highlights in the June newsletter,[1] I hope you have a chance to check it out! As mentioned in the article, one of the next steps we have taken is making all the content of the online course available on Wikiversity[2] for anybody interested in conducting Wikimedia education projects.
In this online course you can find resources and activities around the topics of knowledge equity, Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education), national education policies, project management skills, and advocacy - all connected to Wikimedia and education. There are practical assignments in each module of the course that allow you to create a project proposal for a Wikimedia education project by the end of the course. You can find the proposals developed by the participants of the first cohort there as well to use as inspiration[3]. There is also an opportunity for interested participants to work towards achieving a special badge that recognizes their learning achievements on this course[4][5].
We are grateful for all the valuable feedback and enthusiasm we have received from the first cohort of participants in the course and we are excited for everyone to take advantage of these resources on Wikiversity now. As usual, please do reach out if you have any feedback or questions!
All the best,
- Melissa
