Hello ESEAP Wikimedians!

Wikimedia Education through the EduWiki Outreach Collaborators https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/EduWiki_Outreach_Collaborators ( EWOC) is conducting office hours and regional meetings to provide spaces for learning, sharing of projects, tools, or ideas with the education community from the region.

Regional education meetings are planned by the Community Specialists in collaboration with Wikimedia Education Team. This is 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. For this month, we are excited to meet with the communities based in the ESEAP Region https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/About/Office_Hours/Regional_Meeting/ESEAP .

Our first ESEAP Regional Education Meeting will take place on 27th November 2021 at 7:00 UTC, (14:00 GMT+7, Indonesia Time, 15:00 GMT+8 Malaysia Time, 17:00 GMT+10 Australian Eastern Standard Time), with the theme: Wikimedia Education work pre-pandemic, during the pandemic, and what are the plans for the future.
