Dear EduWiki Community,
In January 2026, Wikipedia marks 25 years of open knowledge, collaboration,
and global impact. To celebrate this milestone, the EduWiki Hub
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group/EduWiki_…>
will host a special Wikipedia@25 celebration on 22 January 2026, taking
place during our first Knowledge Showcase
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group_Sh…>
of the year.
As part of the celebration, we are inviting members of the Wikimedia and
education communities to share short creative contributions of 1-5 minutes,
such as poems or brief performances reflecting on how they have contributed
to Wikipedia, how Wikipedia has contributed to them, or how they have used
Wikipedia in education. These creative reflections will be featured during
the celebration segment of the Knowledge Showcase as we honour the people
and stories behind 25 years of Wikipedia.
If you are interested in contributing, please upload your creative ideas to
this folder
<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1M5JqIHv6cF1FJg9KX2tPsUh8UgryCns8?us…>
with
your name/username as the title or contact bukola.james(a)wmnobrasil.org
directly if you would love to be featured live during the showcase with a
brief description of your proposed contribution.
Participation in the celebration is part of the EduWiki Knowledge Showcase,
and attendance requires registration
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RegisterForEvent/2716>. You can
register for the event via the Meta page here: EduWiki Knowledge Showcase,
January 2026
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group_Sh…>
We look forward to celebrating Wikipedia@25 with you and highlighting the
impact of open knowledge in education and beyond.
Season's greetings,
Bukola James
EduWiki Hub Team
Dear Education Community,
The *Call for Proposals for the ESEAP Conference 2026* is ongoing and
closing tomorrow, *December 21, 2025*.
The East, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific (ESEAP) region is home to some of
the most dynamic and resilient education programs in our movement. As we
look toward the 2026 conference, we see a vital opportunity to highlight
the intersection of *Open Education* and regional collaboration.
*Why submit an Education-focused proposal?* We are looking to create
synergy between the global EduWiki goals and regional realities. We
strongly encourage submissions that explore:
-
*Cross-Border Mentorship:* How established education programs can mentor
emerging communities within ESEAP.
-
*Localized Pedagogy:* Adapting Wikipedia assignments to fit diverse
linguistic and cultural curriculums in Asia and the Pacific.
-
*Institutional Partnerships:* Strategies for onboarding universities and
libraries in the region.
-
*Youth Engagement:* Leveraging the student population in ESEAP to bridge
the contributor gap.
If you have a project, a success story, or a workshop idea that can help
strengthen the educational fabric of the ESEAP region, we want to see it in
the program.
*Submission Details:*
-
*Conference site: *https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ESEAP_Conference_2026
-
*Deadline:* Sunday, December 21, 2025 (Tomorrow!)
-
*Submit your proposal here:*
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ESEAP_Conference_2026/Program/Submissions
Let’s ensure that Education remains a central pillar of the conversation in
the ESEAP region.
