Dear Wikimedia & Education community,
As many of you may know, Wikidata's 8th birthday celebration https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday is coming soon! The Education Team hopes to participate in the birthday celebration by raising awareness of the educational value of Wikidata.
During the week of October 26-30th we plan to celebrate "Wikidata in Education Week" with the following activities:
- Hosting a Wikidata in Education meetup https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday/24-hours_meetup - Sharing a Communications Tool-kit with messaging the community can share on their social media channels - Hosting live interviews with Wikimedians who have used Wikidata in education - Launching a consultation with key influencers on how Wikidata can be used for curriculum digitization
Would you like to participate in a short interview to discuss how you have used Wikidata in Education? Please respond to myself (nsaad@wikimedia.org) or Sailesh ( spatnaik@wikimedia.org) by October 16th.
Do you have an idea of other activities we could do during this week to raise awareness of Wikidata in education? Share it here!
all the best,
Nichole
