Dear Wikimedians,
I hope you are having a good start to the month. After a short break from our community organizing work, we have developed new strategies to establish processes and mechanisms for community collaboration and support. This strategic document https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Community_Support_Strategy,_Education.pdf provides more information on our community engagement spaces, our strategic goals, and the values associated with our work. You can find a detailed summary of the strategy document on the diff https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/10/05/promoting-more-inclusive-and-equitable-support-for-the-wikimedia-education-community/ blog https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/10/05/promoting-more-inclusive-and-equitable-support-for-the-wikimedia-education-community/. There you will find various spaces of participation and how you can participate. We will update you about any upcoming events and opportunities on the education mailing list and the diff calendar https://diff.wikimedia.org/calendar/. Starting in October 2021, the Wikimedia Foundation educational team will support the community by providing new and refreshed spaces for participation and collaboration, as well as specialized support. This will help the community to thrive by elevating their needs, strengthening the capacities of the community, and fostering the well-being of the community. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. We look forward to collaborating with you soon!
Best! Sailesh
