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.
