Greetings from CIS-A2K,
I am writing this email to inform you about the Wikimedia Education SAARC
conference which is going to be organised at Christ University on 20-22
June 2019. The CIS-A2K team has been working with the language department
of Christ University and other institutions to enrich the content of Indic
Wikimedia projects with the help of students.

conference in SAARC countries which will engage students, education program
leaders, educators and researchers engaged with Open Education and free
knowledge movement. This conference will allow us to understand the
different efforts made by the communities involved in the Wikimedia
Education movement.
