Important updates from Learning and Evaluation:

== Writing Contest Report in Peer Review! [1]==

The Writing Contest Report[1] is now available on Meta and in Peer Review. We are going to publish the report more widely on July 3rd, 2015. The report includes data from 39 contests  about inputs, outputs and outcomes. The contests in the report had a total of 745 participants who added nearly 23 million characters to over 15,000 articles, across 11 or more different language Wikipedias. You will also find several quotes from interviews with contest organizers that offer context and first-hand insight around setting goals, planning and tools for writing contests.

For the peer review, let us know:

- To what extent is the report easy or difficult to read?

- To what extent is it clear or not clear how to use the report?

- In what ways might you use this report in your community?

- Any other feedback?

Please take a few moments to read the report and send us feedback!

== Writing Contests Program Toolkit: Sneak Preview! [2] ==

The writing contest toolkit is the second from a series of program guides on how to implement more effective Wikimedia programs. It was created gathering knowledge from experienced program leaders who have run programs like The WikiCup, Catalan Cultural Challenge and the WikiWomen Prize, among others. We are now sharing with you the draft preview of this new resources. Be part of the writing contest learning community; sign up in the connect or forum page! [2]

== Agenda for Learning Day: July 15, Wikimania México [3] ==

We now have an agenda available for the upcoming Learning Day [3]. Due to reduced capacity, participation in Learning Day is by invitation only. If you have received an invitation email, please be sure to confirm your attendance and remember to fill out the survey! If you have not yet been contacted by someone on the Learning and Evaluation team, and would like to take part, please email us at eval@wikimedia.org. Participants will have the option to share what they know in three different ways: a poster about a project or program, a lightening talk and a story for Fail Fest.
