Dear friends,

Time flies so quickly! Only a few days left for EduWiki Week[1]. Join us for this virtual celebration for Wikimedia in Education. Let's together celebrate our community members, our work, and foster new connections. Join us for this celebration from 21st-25th February. Checkout the agenda now![2]

What are we bringing to you next week?

The answer is a lot! Take part in our daily trivia on social media channels, Facebook[3], and Twitter[4]. We will use the hashtag #EduWikiWeek2022 throughout the week. 

Each day we want to celebrate a new highlight of the work of the EduWiki community:
- the programs that you have built in the past 20-years to engage teachers and students by providing learning opportunities through Wikimedia projects.
- the effort you and your community members have put to make successful programs and your learnings.
- And some fun, what are some of the famous carnivals or festivals in your region. Let us know!
- the resources that you have created in all these years.
- We also want to improve our engagement, so tell us "how to" at the end of the event. 
Please help us to highlight these stories by taking part on social media. 

Register today to attend the Community showcase and connection session, join us on the 23rd for 13:00 - 16:00 UTC to listen to 9 community stories followed by a social hour.  You can also watch it live on Youtube[5].

You can organize asynchronous/local activities throughout the week. Find some of the activities here or add your activity to the section[6].
