Calling all Education Program Leaders and Educators that appreciate what Wikipedia (and its sister projects) can do for education!!

We've been working on the #Eduwiki campaign, which is focused on helping teachers experience with and learn from using Wikipedia as an educational resource, with the support of 4 lesson plans.

The campaign's main page can be found here: https://outreach.wikimed ia.org/wiki/Education/EduWiki_Campaign (some translations have been made, but there's always room for more languages) ;)

There's also a suggested press kit available, that can be used as a base when reaching out to media. It can be found here: https://docs.google.com/ document/d/1FzTEpaeD0LlxbWZLfZTToRpESzJHecREAqMKMvVKccg/edit?usp=sharing Feel free to adapt it to your context. For instance, do add names, e-mails and twitter contacts for the representatives that are most appropriate for your country and language. The Collab members are there to give support when needed: reach back to education@wikimedia.org if you would like to receive assistance, and we will help you connect to a Collab member.

We kindly request you help us with diffusion on social media as well. We will be tweeting daily from our @WikiEduProgram account. You are of course welcome to follow the account, re-tweet what you like and translate and adapt to your context.

This initiative/experiment is carried out in the spirit of helping the movement to reach out to educators. Support will be available from Collab members where needed,

Cheers!

Vahid.
