Hello EduWikimedians,
The work behind each edition of the EduWiki Newsletter
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News> begins long before
publication.
It begins with educators documenting a classroom activity, volunteers
reflecting on an initiative, affiliates sharing a partnership, or
contributors capturing an experience that others in the Wikimedia education
community can learn from.
We're now preparing the *August 2026 edition*, and the *Education Newsroom
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/Newsroom>* is open for new
submissions.
If you're planning to contribute, please keep the following in mind:
- Stories should focus on *Wikimedia and education*.
- Stories should be *300 to 500 words*.
- Submissions are welcome in *English or your local language*.
- You may include *images, audio, or video*, particularly if they are
available on Wikimedia Commons.
- Before submitting, please review the *Publication Guidelines
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Education/News/Publicati…>*
to
ensure your story is ready for publication, especially if it's your first
time submitting.
*Submit your story:* Education Newsroom
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/Newsroom>
*Submission deadline:* *26 August 2026*
We're looking forward to seeing what this month's edition will bring.
Best regards,
*Barakat Adegboye*

Dear EduWiki community,
The EduWiki Hub
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group/EduWiki_…>
is one, and we’re taking some time to reflect on what we’ve built together
since August 2025.
If you have used or participated in *any of the EduWiki Hub’s services or
activities*, we are particularly interested in hearing from you. This
includes our *Knowledge Showcases, EduWiki Workshops, Mentorship Programme,
Open Educational Resources Documentation, EduWiki Newsletter*, and other
Hub activities and resources.
We want to know what your experience has been. What have you found useful?
What could have worked better? What would you like to see from the Hub
going forward?
Your responses will form part of our one-year evaluation and will help
inform our future planning.
The EduWiki Hub Community Feedback Form 2026 takes about *5 minutes* to
complete and is available in *8 languages: English, French, Portuguese,
Japanese, Indonesian, Hindi, Spanish, and Arabic.*
*Deadline: 31 August 2026*
Complete the feedback survey
<https://lime.wikimedia.pt/wmbr/index.php/785865?lang=en>
If you have not directly used a Hub service but have followed or interacted
with our work, your perspective is also welcome.
And if you know educators, Wikimedians, programme organisers, or affiliates
who have engaged with the Hub, please help us reach them by sharing the
survey.
Thank you for being part of our first year.
Best,
*Barakat Adegboye*
