Hi. Thank you for the answer, Sailesh! I am happy to see investment in
language diversity in interactions with the WMF.
For future meetings with a focus on Latin America, you might want to know
that we ran a survey across the Brazilian affiliate membership --a group of
people that would potentially be interested in this activity--, and members
have stated that when Portuguese is not an option they prefer communication
to happen in English, not in Spanish.
Good luck with the activity,
João

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
