Hola education community!
Hope you're enjoying a nice start of the week. I wanted to let you know
that the application period for the Wikimedia & Education Greenhouse is now
closed!
We have received 15 team applications
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Education/Greenhouse/teamsubmissions>
from countries so diverse as Bangladesh, Ghana, Benin, India, Brazil, and
others. Project ideas include formal and informal education initiatives
that engage a variety of audiences, and that promote the participation of
smaller language communities. Thank you so much to everyone who applied! We
are really excited to see the great project ideas you have brought forward
and we appreciate the time and effort you have put in your applications. We
have closed the individual applications with over 100 registered
participants from all over the globe. Finally, we have a great group of
excited and committed volunteer collaborators from the education movement
joining us!
So what comes next? This week (May 13-19) teams will have the opportunity
to edit and improve their applications before the assessment and selection
process starts next Monday. We would like to encourage you, members of the
education community, to engage with and support the applicant teams
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Education/Greenhouse/teamsubmissions>
this week by providing feedback to their applications, asking questions,
and/or offering an endorsement! Your voice and expertise will be very
valuable in this process.
Thank you again for your support and interest in the Wikimedia & Education
Greenhouse. We look forward to the next stage in this adventure!
Cheers,
-Melissa
