Re: [Wikimedia Education] An Invitation to the Wikipedia & Education UG first open meeting! :)

Dear EDUWiki enthusiasts, Since being elected in October, the Wikipedia & Education User Group https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_GroupBoard https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group/People has been quietly working, setting the infrastructure for engaging and working more closely with our members and the broader community, i.e. anyone else interested in advancing global efforts around Wikimedia projects and Education. To this end, we will be starting to host monthly meetings (Yay!), where our members and other interested parties could share experiences, challenges and opportunities, while strengthening our global network. Our first meeting will be held next Monday, Dec. 17, between 17:00 - 18:30 UTC. While for various reasons, we've had to set up a specific time forthis meeting, our next meetings will be scheduled using doodle to maximize the number of participants. The agenda for the meeting includes: - Introduction of members attending - Overview of what the board has been doing so far - Introducing working groups - Intro to the Annual Plan We will be using "Meet" which allows for up to 50 participants to join, so hopefully will not have issues of people unable to join, and we will do our best to record the meeting, so if you can't join us, you'll still be able to catch up. Here is a link to the meeting - meet.google.com/xzw-mqpa-pmn https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmeet.google.com%2Fxzw-mqpa-pmn… Please spread the word wide and join us! We have lots to discuss and we're excited to include all of you! Best, Shani and the Wikipedia & Education UG Board. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shani Evenstein Sigalov EdTech Innovation Strategist, NY/American Medical Program, Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University.
