Dear Wikimedians, I am writing this email to invite you all to the third regional education meeting[1]. This month we are meeting with our community members based in the South Asia 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 South Asia regional education meeting will take place on *30th April 2021 at **9:30 UTC*, (3:00 PM IST, Colombo Time, 3:30 PM Dhaka Time, 3:15 PM Kathmandu Time), it will be led by Md. Galib, a member of Wikimedia Bangladesh, and EWOC community specialist for the region. *If you want to volunteer to interpret this meeting for your community members in a local language, please reach out to me.* At this South Asia regional education meeting, we will hear from: - Challenges with education in Covid 19: Is there any way to overcome?, Prof. Mostafa Azad, Country representative of CC Bangladesh, Dean, School of Business, Bangladesh Open University - Education initiatives by Punjabi Wikimedians UG, Dr. Manavpreet Kaur - State of Education projects by Karavali Wikimedians UG, Dr. U. B. Pavanaja 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! Md.
