Wikimedia & Education enthusiasts,
We're pleased to announce the publication of our Theory of Change:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hubs/Ongoing/Education_Theory_of_Change_(Fe…
This report was written by Rocío Aravena and Bukola James, who will be
presenting their findings in our next EduWiki Knowledge Showcase, on
Tuesday, February 27, at 17:00 UTC. You're invited to join!
* What: EduWiki Knowledge Showcase on Theory of Change
* When: Tuesday, February 27, 17:00 UTC (local time:
https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1709053200)
* Where: Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85747659255
If you're lost and thinking, "what Theory of Change?", here's more details:
The Wikimedia & Education community has been engaging in a broader research
project to create a future engagement structure that better meets the needs
of our community, in line with Movement Strategy conversations around
thematic hubs. As part of this, we published a first report in mid 2023 (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hubs/Ongoing/Toward_a_theory_of_change_for_…).
This newer report, which Rocío and Bukola have been working on for the last
six months, lays out our considerations for a next-generation collaboration
model. We hope you can join us to learn more and discuss on February 27!
Wikimedia & Education enthusiasts,
Join us for our next EduWiki Knowledge Showcase (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group/Showcase)
on Friday, November 10, at 10 am UTC (
https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1699610400). We'll focus on fun ways of
engaging with Wikimedia & Education, featuring two representatives from
Northern and Western Europe:
- Mathilde Louis, education project manager at Wikimédia France, will
introduce you to Wikeys, the pedagogical game that teaches the 5 pillars of
Wikipedia. She will explain the genesis of the game, its advancement after
a year and her hopes for its future development. She will also mention its
potential within the movement, including its translation.
- Galder Gonzalez Larrañaga, Wikimedian from the Basque Country and
project manager at the Basque Wikimedians User Group. Six years ago, the
BWUG started a project to improve content that may be used by students, and
we did it involving educators and students from universities and secondary
schools. Now we are working on Open Education Resources, with our brand new
project Ikusgela.
