Hi,
I've just discovered this YouTube for Schools http://www.youtube.com/schools and saw a easy way to navigate on educational videos http://www.youtube.com/education on this popular video site. I was wondering if wouldn't be good to have a channel just for the ambassadors program, such as the Stanford channel http://www.youtube.com/stanford, TED http://www.youtube.com/ted or even WMF http://www.youtube.com/wikimediafoundation? It can be a useful too to penetrate on schools.
I've started making some videos [1] with professor Juliana Bastos and I believe it's very appealing to other professors to see such videos - when I posted them on my facebook, some professors of my network have already become interested.
I believe videos with interviews of ambassadors, mainly the most motivated, would also be good to attract other ambassadors.
Do we already have a central place where I can find videos of professors in other countries involved with the ambassadors program?
Best wishes,
Tom

I think it's a good idea, Everton!
I would recommend that you feel free to make the channel, if you so desire. But I suppose it might be worthwhile reaching out to the social media group to see if something like that exists (CC'd here) already?

Hey Tom - there's no mailing list, rather it's an email proxy. If you email socialmedia@wikimedia.org you'll reach everyone who has access to the channels, and they'll let you know how we can spread the word.
Thanks!
