Hola Wikimedia and education community!

We are in the final week of applications to the Wikimedia & Education Greenhouse, time has really flown by! We have heard many of you have a great idea for a team application but are a little worried about the requirements for completing the application form or about the time needed. Don't you worry!

We have created a step-by-step video guide showing you how a team could go about completing the application form using an imaginary (but very realistic) example. It takes less than an hour https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y_c-ejRh9cKgU31WO2nw4ZZ2xukVtfVk/view?usp=sharing! You can watch the video along while completing your team application for extra tips, explanations, and clear examples. We hope you find it helpful!

Additionally, we will be hosting two "Hit Submit!" virtual sessions to support you through the process of completing a team application form. The goal of these virtual events is that by the end of the session you will be able to submit a complete team application! Join us in the following times and dates:

- Thursday May 9, 13:00 - 15:00 UTC (link to join http://meet.google.com/ypc-tqkn-vdk) - Saturday May 11, 15:00 - 17:00 UTC (link to join http://meet.google.com/box-ovsj-hid)

Before saying goodbye I'd also like to answer one common question we have received: What happens after the team applications close on May 12? Well, from May 13 - 19 we are giving the community the opportunity to provide feedback to the team applications. This means teams will have one extra week to make improvements to their proposals before the selection committee starts their review process.

We hope this encourages you to submit a team application soon! Don't forget that if you need any extra support we are only a message away.

Cheers!
