Hello from ESEAP in Bali!

In November and December 2017, I had the great opportunity to extend some planned travel in Asia to include site visits to Nepal, India and Taiwan. During that time, I worked closely with local Wikimedians who were running education programs in their communities. It was an amazing learning experience, and will help to shape some of the support the Education Team will provide to program leaders in the future.

I'm happy to share that today we are publishing a report https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/2017_Asia_report_summary on the activities and outcomes of the site visits, and a companion blog https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/05/03/wikimedia-education-asia/ post.

I hope you will take a look! The work that these Wikimedians are doing for education in the movement is having an impact not only on the Wikimedia projects, but also in their local communities. The Education Team will use what we've learned from these site visits and from our research https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/01/23/education-survey-report/ on the perception of education in the movement to shape our future work.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

best regards,

Nichole
