Wikipedia & Education User Group
I will be in Berkeley, California from April 4th to the 8th. I will be
meeting up with friends I grew up with.
One friend I will be introducing her to Wikipedia, and the work I have
been doing.
I am wondering if there are any Wikipedia user groups in Berkeley.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Linda Fletcher Dabo

Dear Wikimedians,
We hope this message finds you well and that you are in good spirits. We
are the Let’s Connect working group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect/Team>- a
team of movement contributors/organizers who are liaison representatives of 7/8
regions <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_regions>. We are
connecting with you to see if you are interested in and/or know about the
peer-to-peer program, Let’s Connect
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect>!
The program creates an open and safe learning space for any Wikimedian who is
part of an organized group to share and learn different skills
(organizational/interpersonal / grant related / learning & evaluation ...)
with other peers to add value and contribute collectively to the community.
The purpose is to further develop skills, share knowledge and promote human
connections and mutual support between different groups and communities, in
alignment with the Movement Strategy
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy>.
Every month, we host 2-3 live 2-hour learning clinics
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect#Live_learn…>
with
interesting topics selected by our team and our interested sharers. Our
live learning sessions have up to 4 interpreters translating the clinic for
our participants. Our main languages are Spanish | Arabic | French |
Portuguese. If there is a specific language you would like to see in the
calls, we are happy to see how we can accommodate it.
Let’s Connect is directed at Wikimedians in all regions that are part of
organized groups (this can range from a group of individuals that are not
formally organized user groups, chapters and mission-aligned
organizations). Please see our Meta page for more criteria
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Knowledge_Sharing/Connect#Who_is_Let…>.
To participate as a sharer, you can register in this initial registration
form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdiea87tSYmB2-1XHn_u8RLe7efMJifJBz…>
where
you can register your learning and sharing interests and state if you want
to share your knowledge through Learning Clinics.
Below, you will find our team of 8 who are excited to meet with you if you
are interested. Please email our team at letsconnect(a)wikimedia.org if you
have any questions :)
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
The Let’s Connect Working Group
Dear Education User Group and WMF Grants Team,
Wikimedia Rwanda wants to inform you about our decision to step down as the
main host of the EduWiki Conference 2024.
This decision aligns with our current strategic priorities, which heavily
focus on two cross-border projects and eLearning Africa Side Event
involvement. These initiatives require significant attention and resources
to ensure our organisational growth.
While acknowledging the vital role the EduWiki Conference plays in
fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing within the education
community, it's best for all parties involved if we dedicate ourselves
fully to our existing commitments.
We understand this decision may cause inconvenience and sincerely apologize
for any disruption. We appreciate your understanding and hope to host the
EduWiki Conference again in the future, once our current projects reach
completion.
In the meantime, we remain dedicated to actively participating in and
supporting the conference's success in any way possible
