Hi John,
I think the medical accomplishments would be great to share in terms of
Wikimedia's relevance in humanitarian response. For the UNESCO Mobile
learning week they are looking for presentations on technology that impacts
learners, teachers or education systems. You can check out
to get an understanding of Education in Emergencies and hopefully that will
help you with some ideas :).
all the best,
Nichole

Sounds like a great opportunity, and the WikiMed
example is super
relevant, indeed
Nichole and I (on the WMF education program team) were actually
discussing this very event yesterday. I'm copying her as well as the
education list, in case there are additional ideas we can surface.
Cheers,
Tighe

If I understand you correctly, seems like a good
opportunity to mention
medical content on Wikipedia, and the efforts to translate the 100 most
important medical articles (now already 700) to as many languages as
possible, as well as create an offline app with all medical content, which
we now have in 10 languages. This can literally be the difference between
life and death in the developing world and could come in handy in times of
various types of crises.
CCing Doc James, who can direct you to the best and most updated
resource about that.
Best,
Shani.

Hi all
I have the possibility of presenting at the UNESCO Learning Week in
March on the role of open licensing and Wikimedia in education in
emergencies and crises. I haven't been able to find out much information
about the subject, does anyone have any resources they could recommend?

Thanks
John
