Hello from Greece, and good luck to your initiative! It seems very promising, I hope you
send us feedback from the efforts, as a Wikipedia editing campaign is also active in
Greece, and teachers such as myself are interested in ways to encourage Wikipedia editing
in the classroom.
A curious coincidence is that I presented a Wikipedia editing workshop at an education
event in Prague just two months ago... here is the article I wrote on outreach:

I have been integrating Wikipedia in all our school projects since 2007, it is the perfect
"platform" for sharing knowledge gained by students and teachers in the course
of a school assignment. Also, don't forget that contributing multimedia to Commons is
of a world-wide benefit, transcending country and language borders...:)))

Mina Theofilatou (user "saintfevrier" on all wikimedia projects)

Subject: [Wikimedia Education] Wikipedia on International School of Prague
Hi folks,
I would like to announce a cooperation between Wikipedia and International School of
Prague (ISP)[1] which starts now. Czech Wikipedians had already visited three times ISP.
On first two sessions we had agreed that there is a will to get Wikipedia to ISP and go
for a long term cooperation based on creation of the new article and further understanding
of this web resource.
Third meeting held today and it was traing of teachers and answering their questions. We
will continue with this training and we will start to work on getting Wikipedia to
teacher's syllabus on the next meetings. You can see the development via the project
page (pages News and Feedback).[2]
Regards,
Juandev
