on generative AI in education, present a preliminary analysis of the
results, and also discuss results from a virtual course WM-AR ran in
October for teachers. We'll also have an opportunity for attendees to
share what they've learned about generative AI and its connections to
their education programs.

We hope to see you there!
Thank you to a great response from our membership -- 71 eligible voters
cast ballots in our user group's board elections.
Elected to the board are:
* Bukola Olutola James
* Filip Maljković
* João Alexandre Peschanski

Ziko van Dijk has graciously agreed to serve as a Special Advisor to

A few reminders:
* Scholarship deadline for the EduWiki Conference 2025 is November 17 --

* Join the next round of our mentorship program, EduWiki Connect -- sign up

Hi everyone,
The Wikipedia & Education User Group is pleased to announce the third
round of our Education Program Mentorship Program, renamed to EduWiki
Connect. If you're an experienced or aspiring program leader, we
encourage you to sign up to be a mentor or a mentee, by November 22:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1nS-nfNye5a6JAk_wryuryBJsGGxcrorWCLGI-PZlI_…
A bit more details: Three years ago, we launched the first edition of
the program as a pilot, and then another one in 2022. We evaluated both
programs with surveys and the results showed that people were very
enthusiastic about the project, so here's another instance. We plan on
doing the matching of mentors and mentees in late November, and then to
kick off the mentorships in early December. The program should run for
six months, which should give ample time for each mentor and mentee pair
to establish connection and create a regular meeting schedule.
Benefits of becoming a mentor:
* *Personal Growth:* Mentoring provides an opportunity for mentors to
reflect on their own experiences, improve communication skills, and
enhance leadership abilities.
* *Networking:* Mentors can expand their professional network by
connecting with other experienced mentors and mentees. Also, find an
opportunity to learn new skills and experiences during the mentoring
process.
* *Giving Back:* Mentoring allows experienced individuals to contribute
to the growth and success of the Wikipedia and Education User Group
community.
* *Recognition:* Mentors receive recognition within the community for
their valuable contributions.
* *You are not alone:* Throughout the mentoring process, you will
receive support from both the Wikipedia and Education User Group and the
Education Team at the Wikimedia Foundation.
Benefits of being a mentee:
* *Skill Enhancement:* Mentees have the opportunity to learn from
experienced mentors, improving their knowledge and skills in program
management.
* *Guidance:* Mentees receive personalized guidance and support in
addressing program challenges and achieving program objectives.
* *Networking:* Mentees can connect with mentors and fellow mentees,
expanding their professional network.
* *Confidence Building:* Mentoring boosts mentees' confidence and
decision-making abilities.
One mentorship pair from 2021, Nebojša Ratković from Wikimedia Serbia
and Anthony B. Diaz from Wiki Advocates Philippines, shared their
experiences at one of our Open Meetings. You can watch the recording on
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT76_cj-SGY
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT76_cj-SGY>
So, come join us in this endeavor and apply to become a mentor or a mentee!
Cheers,
Filip

Fellow Wikimedians,
Wiki Education (the organization that runs the education program in the US
and Canada) has been working on a campaign to improve Wikipedia's coverage
of climate finance topics. As part of this campaign, we want to create
articles on climate finance around the world. Climate finance encompasses
investments to address climate change mitigation and adaptation. These
investments are desperately needed globally, but financial flows to the
developing world, and African countries in particular, have fallen short of
what is needed. But documentation is difficult to find for the average
reader, and difficult to interpret.
That's where you come in! If you're already convinced to help us, sign up
here:
https://wikiedu.org/courses/global-approaches-to-climate-finance-for-wikipe…
Please join us for a free virtual four-week Wiki Scholars course focused on
improving the article on climate finance in your home country. Our goal is
to fill gaps in Wikipedia's coverage by creating "Climate finance by
[country]" to document financial flows related to climate change mitigation
and adaptation for as many countries as possible, especially in the
developing world. Led by longtime English Wikipedian Ian Ramjohn, the
course will focus on:
- Just what is climate finance, and why it is an important piece in the
climate crisis puzzle
- Where to find sources on climate finance in your country
- How to create an article on English Wikipedia, including tips and
tricks on English Wikipedia policies
- Using the content translation tool to create it in another language
Wikipedia that you speak
The course will meet via Zoom on Tuesdays and Thursdays @ 14:00 UTC, from
June 24 to July 19, 2024.
If you join us, you'll receive:
- Guidance from an English Wikipedia expert (Ian's an admin who's been
editing for 20 years!)
- Getting to know a cohort of other Wikimedians around the world who
care about how the climate crisis affects their country
- A certificate of completion that can be added to your LinkedIn profile
Sign up here:
https://wikiedu.org/courses/global-approaches-to-climate-finance-for-wikipe…
Want to see what an article might look like? Ian's started drafting the
article on climate finance in his home country of Trinidad and Tobago here:

We hope you can join us!
