Hey Joao, 

This meeting will be held in Spanish and led by José Reyes from Wikimedia México. We won't be able to provide simultaneous translation for this meeting but we are exploring the possibility for future iterations. I'm looking particularly at the translation channel option over Zoom and it would be great if somebody from the community could help us with the translation if interested since this is a community-led event.

This is the first time we're trying this approach to the original education office hours that were solely in English and each time we'll continue making efforts to include more languages. Thank you for reaching out about this!

Thanks
Sailesh

Dear Wikimedians,



I am writing this email to invite you all to the second regional education meeting[1]. This month we are starting with our community members based in the Latin America region[2]. You can use these regional office hours as an opportunity to learn and share your projects, tools, or ideas with the education community from the region. 


These regional education meetings are planned by the community specialists of the EduWiki Outreach Collaborators (EWOC)[3] and the Education team. We are using this as an opportunity to strengthen the EduWiki network, explore collaboration opportunities, and identify common practices or challenges that are faced by our community members in different regions of the world. We are launching these regional office hours as a pilot initiative to complement our general monthly office hours[4], we encourage you to participate, share your ideas, and help this become a fully community-led initiative.


Our first LatAm regional education meeting will take place on 31st March 2021 at 14:00 UTC, it will be led in Spanish by José Reyes, Education Program Manager of Wikimedia Mexico and EWOC community specialist for the region. 


At this LatAm regional education meeting, we will hear from: 

  • Jose on the state of education in Mexico

  • Some updates from Wikimedia Argentina

  • And the experience of running Reading Wikipedia in the classroom program by Wikimedistas de Bolivia. 


If you have other ideas, topics, or questions you want to ask, you can add them to the agenda here[5]. We will try to answer them during the meeting. We are looking forward to seeing you there! 


Best!

José, EWOC community specialist team, Sailesh, and Education team
