Dear colleagues,
Over the course of last 3 months we have:
* Completed prequalifying & judging Tatar 4.0 contest in partnership with
World Tatar Youth Forum (Youth wing of World Congress of Tatars ethnic
NGO)
with over 100 participants & 60 school teams
writing their first articles
in ttWP.[1]
* Publicly launched cooperation with Tatar internet development Fund
(NGO)
during 7th Tatar Literary Marathon closing
ceremony.[2]
* Presented lead regional library with Qur'ans in Spanish, French &
Romanian on behalf of WUG TAT, Wikimedia RUSSIA & Wikimedia movement (on
last Friday of Ramadan).[3]
* Had over 200 people sign-up for Spring 2019 Selet WikiSchool.[4]
* First CEE Spring in ttWP with over 5 active participants.[5]
* Our long time partner Selet Youth Foundation signed a cooperation
agreement with Wikimedia Russia & inviting Russia's and foreign
Wikimedians
to run a Wiki-session during 2019 IT BILER FORUM
of theirs.[6] Katherine
Maher and Jimmy Wales were replaced by Nichole Saad & Amir Aharoni.[7]
* We agreed with Kazan State Institute for Culture to start
Wiki-education
cooperation around promoting regional cultural
heritage on WData,
Commons,
Wpedias, etc.[8]
* Kazan Federal University's Institute of International Relations
initiated an MOU with Wikimedia Russia to do similar things around
activities of Regional Economic Geography & Eurasian Studies (as part of
mandatory practical internships program for students), also expressing
potential interest to host a public multilingual WikiClub on their
premises
downtown Kazan.[9]
* Restarted work with Regional Tourism Authority to move their
www.visit-tatarstan.com to CC-BY
* Recent meeting in Tatarstan Presidential Administration resulted in
Regional Department of Education making a request to be provided with a
standardized step-by-step guide for elementary and secondary school
teachers to use Wiki in all subjects taught in various languages (mainly
Tatar, Russian and English, some other foreign languages as well).[10] I
was requested to provide first feedback in about a week, so meanwhile
decided to inquire about possibility of reactivating Russian Vikidia &
opening one in Tatar.[11] (CC-BY-SA Wiki for 8-13 year olds)
* Various other leads with Education and Publishing partners.
Next update will be around Wikimania, so I might change the topic as we
will pass the baton to the 2019 Wikimedian of the Year then :)
regards,
farhad

:
Regional department of education (elementary & secondary education) &
Kazan Federal University today received instructions signed by the
President of Tatarstan on integrating Wikimedia Education Program
opportunities into the curricula of educational establishments of the
Republic. I was asked for some guidance on the topic before tonight, so
prepared what I could in Russian
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-ru/2019-April/005086.html
We are in
the country with a centralized education system culture, so
project owner will be
the ministry, with Wikimedians serving as
stakeholders, consultants & guides.
On March 1st we fielded 2 speakers for EDU RUSSIA 2019 conference
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CEE/Newsletter/February_2019/Contents/Russi…
On April 11-12 our Bashkir colleagues (WUG BAK) were invited to speak @
their
regional teachers' conference (photoes & report in Russian -
https://ru.wikinews.org/wiki/?curid=221169 ) & their regional deputy
minister recalled our speakers in Kazan
Right now our judges are checking some 200 pre-qualified ttWP articles
created by
67 previously untrained school teams in the framework of Tatar
4.0 contest. Prizes provided by local partner, introduction to the
contest
video, Messenger support, participant &
article tagging,
prequalification &
assessing on volunteering time. 10 best teams to
be publicly awarded at
Ğabdulla Tuqay memorial event downtown Kazan on April 26.
Contest in Tatar -
https://tt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Проект:Татар_4.0
Lessons learnt in Russian -

> Some news:
>
> I managed to get vocal approval of the proposal to transfer
Wiki-competencies
to Tatarstan public by Federal Deputy Prime-Minister
Maxim Akimov and had Regional President Rustam Minnikhanov express his
invitation to the subject-minister (Vice Prime-Minister of Tatarstan -
InfoComm minister Roman Shaykhutdinov) to prepare necessary proposals for
organizing the process in a successful scalable way. I will have to do
more
thinking and writing now so as to try have this
implemented first in my
Republic, then across Russia.
>
> I was given less than a minute during pre-Conference tour of the
project
stands prepared by corporations and state enterprises (without
slides or any visual support), so I had to skim to the very facts and the
value proposition that would get their attention.
>
> On a more tangible side,
https://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/Selet_WikiSchool that
I started back in
2016, will get support from the regional budget & thus expand. Currently
this is on the shoulders of a team consisting of high-school senior, a
University freshman and a sophomore/junior from one rural school.

>>>
>>> This is a heads-up on the fact that on Jan.29 I will be speaking
in
Tatar (with simultaneous interpretation of my words into Russian) at
the
Republic of Tatarstan Ministry for ICT closing
conference for 2018 in
front
of the President of the Republic, Russia's
Federal minister for ICT,
members of Tatarstan government, industry & the press, possibly some
participants from nearby regional ministries.
>>>
>>> I will have some 7-10 min to present on
https://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/Smart_region , rough English translation
for the base page completed today.
>>>
>>> It will be a basic intro level talk accompanied by slides about
some things that can be appropriately mentioned without overburdening
the
public hearing about Wiki-community activities
for the first time in
their
lives. I will email you draft text around the end
of the week (once I am
comfortable with it), with some ideas on the slides I will play along my
speech and a list of recommended follow-on measures.
>>>
>>> Expected outcome: Presidential instruction to the Tatarstan
government to for a cross-departmental working group to study what ICT
ministry led Wikimedia working group (since August 2018) has came up
with &
look into possible way of integrating this into
Tatarstan social life (I
was offered to formulate it myself today).

>>>> Below is my October activities report & description of upcoming
events
>>>>
>>>> 1) On Oct.13-14 at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Meeting_2018 we presented
some of the things we are doing in Russia (FYI: without any WMF grants).
See details at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CEE/Newsletter/October_2018/Contents/Russia…
>>>>
>>>> 2) On Oct.20 I had a two hour long meeting with the Deputy head
of Tatarstan Presidential Adiministration responsible for internal policy
http://president.tatarstan.ru/eng/apparat/structure?person_id=19792&dep…
who officially invited me to engage Wikimedia
Russia and other Wikimedia
movement volunteers to develop "Smart wiki-region" roadmap for regional
authorities throughout the Russian Federation to start learning about the
Wikimedia movement and understanding how partnering therewith could be of
mutual interests. This was a follow up of the Oct.1 meeting with Mintimer
Shaimiev
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-October/091151.html
,
but mainly around my last year's musings I
finally finished translating
into English today @
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Frhdkazan/Wiki4RegionalDevt
>>>>>
>>>>> 3) On Oct.23 We have started growing the project on WMRU-wiki
at
https://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/Умный_регион
(currently in Russian only),
using also eponymous thread at [wikimedia-ru] mailing list (last message
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-ru/2018-November/004914.html
).
>>>>
>>>> 4) In mid-November we are expecting to have a presentation of
the project and our domestic experience
https://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/Selet_WikiSchool at the large meeting
called on by the ex-President of Tatarstan, State Councillor to the
Republic, UNESCO Special envoy for Intercultural Dialogue Mintimer
Shaimiev
http://shaimiev.tatarstan.ru/eng - with
invitation of
>>>>> * First Deputy Head of the Tatarstan Presidential
Administration
(
http://president.tatarstan.ru/eng/apparat/structure?person_id=32&depart…
),
>>>> * a large body of regional
ministers
>>>> ** Tatar community affairs
http://prav.tatarstan.ru/eng/pravit/3.htm
>>>> ** Education and science
http://mon.tatarstan.ru/eng/rukov/minister.htm
http://prav.tatarstan.ru/rus/pravit/ministr-min-molodezhi
>>>> * head of regional media
holding
http://tatmedia.tatarstan.ru/eng/director.htm
>>>> * head of the Institute of
Tatar encyclopedia
http://antat.ru/ru/ite/staff/5679/
>>>> * head of the House of
Friendship of Nations of Tatarstan
http://addnt.ru/house/management/director/
>>>>
>>>> 5) Tomorrow morning I will be meeting with the Vice-Primier -
Minister for the ICT
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Shaykhutdinov
for preliminary discussions, then my high-school senior Timerkhan
https://tt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Кулланучы:Тимерхан will assist him the
next
day at the preparatory meeting with
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mintimer_Shaimiev.
>>>>>
>>>>> 6) I didn't yet have time to think in detail about the
potential
schedule or invited participants of the first
public Wiki-seminar in
Tatarstan, meant to expose locals to the Wikimedia movement and its best
practices even if only via the video-conference (which I mentioned in the
previous update), because I am doing this in between of my rather
demanding
work and some limited family life. The topic will
most likely surface
among
other things tomorrow.
