Hi John,
Thank you for sharing your grant proposal with the Wikimedia Education
list. We are happy to see more grant proposals related to Wikipedia
training and outreach that give special attention to education like your
proposal. It would be great if we see partnerships between the UNISCO and
other UN organizations with Wikimedia and sharing their files under free
license on Wikimedia Commons.
We highly encourage the community members to review your grant proposal
draft and give either positive, negative feedback or endorsement according
to their estimation of the project.
Please, feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have about
Wikipedia in Education.
Wish you best of luck with your submission.
Best regards,
Samir

Hi all
I’m looking for feedback and endorsement for my Wikimedia Foundation PEG
grant to be Wikimedian in Residence at UNESCO
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/MrjohnCummings/UNESCO_Wikimedian_in_Residence>.
I’d very much appreciate if you would have a look, I want to include as
many different projects and languages as possible and connect editors in
each country with local UNESCO partners.
The big thing for me around education is working with UNESCO and it's
partners to release content under an open license and for this to act as a
model for other UN organisations. I think this will be especially
interesting to them with relation to Wikipedia Zero
<http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Zero>.
I ran a pilot project that resulted in the images found in the Wikimedia
Commons category Images from the archive of UNESCO
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_the_archive_of_UNESCO>,
here are a few examples relevant to Wiki loves Earth:
