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)

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
