Dear Indic community members,
I am writing to share to share with you an update from the Malayalam Wiki community. The Malayalam Wikipedia Education Programmehttp://goo.gl/gpFuQ[1] - a partnership between the Malayalam Wiki Community and the Government of Kerala's IT@School Project was inaugurated on June 4th in Anchal, Kollam. There are inspiring pictures of the function on Commonshttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Malayalam_wiki_-It@school_education_project .[2]
This has already been covered in a very nice way by the press in this articlehttp://newindianexpress.com/cities/thiruvananthapuram/article558969.ece .[3]
Shiju has posted a blog about this Programmehttp://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/07/06/wikipedia-education-a-model-from-malayalam-wikipedia/.[4] There are some useful tips for all Indic communities who might be interested in education programmes. These include a focus on importance of local content as well as the crucial involvement of community members who are teachers and students as new editors. There is also an example of how to build strong partnerships with education authorities with support from community members involved in education.
Do join me in congratulating the Malayalam community, in wishing this project the very best of success, in welcoming the students as new editors and in looking forward to fantastic content from the beautiful Kollam region of Kerala.
Noopur
