Happy New Year! The Wikipedia & Education User
Group invites you to attend
our next Open Meeting via Zoom on *Tuesday, January 28, from 18:00 UTC to
19:30 UTC*.
As usual for our Open Meetings, we will provide updates from the Wikipedia
& Education board, then leave most of the time for our guest speakers. This
month, we're thrilled to have featured speakers from Israel and Ghana join
us to speak about Wikidata in education and outside-the-classroom social
impact from Wikimedia projects.
*Shani Evenstein Sigalov* is one of the leading innovators in the
Wikimedia & Education movement globally. In addition to her work as a
researcher and free knowledge advocate, Shani has taught groundbreaking
courses on Wikipedia and Wikidata, and she'll be presenting in this meeting
on her Wikidata work. A founding board member of the Wikipedia & Education
User Group, Shani resigned to take on even greater responsibility as a
Wikimedia Foundation Trustee. We're particularly excited to welcome her
back as a guest speaker!
*Andrews Lartey*, Project Manager for Growing Open and Eco-friendly
Skills for the Youth (GOES), will speak about how Wikimedia Projects can be
used outside the classroom to create social impact (Industry 4.0 skills
acquisition, circular economy and zero hunger). Andrews Lartey will present
on how GOES, through community school farms is creating social impact in
Ghana, the global effect and how various institutions and individuals can
support the project.
