Calling educators, education policymakers, instructional technologists,
students, librarians, and anyone interested in the intersections between
Wikimedia projects and education: You're invited to join the Wikimania
Education Pre-Conference
<https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programme/Education_Pre_Conference>,
which will take place on July 15 and 16 of 2015 in the Hilton Hotel
Reforma, Mexico City, Mexico.
The Education Pre-conference is an event held prior to Wikimania, the
largest annual gathering in the wiki world. It provides a space to share
experiences, take part in workshops and learn about tools and resources to
start using Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects as a pedagogical tool in
an academic setting.
We would love to hear from you about how Wikipedia can contribute to
education. Whether you are a beginner to the Wikimedia world or whether you
already use Wikipedia in the classroom, we would love to have you
participate.
Attendance is free, but you need to register here
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mHOlkVL97TV0CLRlS0Zl9xawwYwTZr_xQUcsGa_hvR4/viewform?c=0&w=1>
because space is limited.
We hope to see you all in Mexico!
