Re: [Wikimedia Education] Join us for the first CEE regional education meeting

Dear Wikimedians, Hope your February is going well. I am writing this email to invite you all to the very first regional education meeting[1]. This month we are starting with our community members based in the CEE region[2]. You can use these regional meetings as an opportunity to learn and share your projects, tools, or ideas with the education community from the CEE region. These regional education meetings are planned by the community specialists of the EduWiki Outreach Collaborators (EWOC)[3] and the Education team. We are using this as an opportunity to strengthen the EduWiki network, explore collaboration opportunities, and identify common practices or challenges that are faced by our community members in different regions of the world. We are launching these regional education meetings as a pilot initiative to complement our general monthly office hours[4], we encourage you to participate, share your ideas, and help this become a fully community-led initiative. Our first CEE education meeting will take place on 18th February 2021 at 13:00 UTC <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1613653217>, it will be led by Nebojša Ratkovic, Education Program Manager of Wikimedia Serbia[5] and EWOC community specialist for the region. At this CEE meeting, Nebojša will share some highlights from the 15 years of education work by Wikimedia Serbia and have a questions-and-answers round. If you have other ideas, topics, or questions you want to ask, you can add them to the agenda here[6]. We will try to answer them during the meeting. We are looking forward to seeing you there! As a reminder, our general monthly office hours are still available for you to join, share your work, connect with other community members, and get help or advice from the Education team. The next general office hour is scheduled for 24th February 2021 at 14:00 UTC, you can find the topics of the meetings here[7]. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Best!
