Hi Farhad,
That's great to hear that you are already working on a blog post! Keep me
updated on how we can support.
In terms of recognition, since I'm still relatively new to the Foundation
I'm not 100% sure what the options are - hence why I asked if you'd heard
of other examples that I could follow-up on. Let me check in with a couple
of teams here and see what we can do, and I'll get back to you.
Thanks!
Nadee

Dear Nadee,
This morning, before I've seen your email, I discussed blog-related issues
with my Wiki-mentee Timerkhan (who was instrumental in getting the event
organized, doing the groundwork & being present on the grounds all
throughout). He agreed to start preparing a report in the form of a Russian
Wikinews article & a Wikimedia Education Newsletter post (tonight or
tomorrow). We will invite all attendees to contribute into growing it and I
will help with translating it, if and where appropriate. I think the text
for Wikimedia blog should be adapted from there.
As for recognition of regional leaders, I thought of something tangible
that can be either put or hanged somewhere in a way as to remind about
Wikimedia movement both on a global and local scale. Public support
Wikimedians are getting from political leaders of Tatarstan is yet
unprecedented in the Russian Federation and the July event
(Edutainment-shaped Outreach activity) is only an incident that can be used
as a pretext for issuing such a recognition, which will be valuable for
developing this opportunity. Wikimedia Community Languages of Russia
colleagues very much hope that Education circles in our Republic can get
acquainted with Wikimedia and showcase own successes on a national level,
so that federal and their regional authorities start showing similar
support. Tomorrow Mr. Abdulla Khamidullin
https://w.wiki/6iT and myself
are attending a follow-on meeting in the regional department of education
to discuss the Wiki Education implementation scenarios related to Tatar
https://w.wiki/6cU I originally thought about something like a letter of
thanks signed by Katherine that we could bring home from Wikimania, frame
and then pass on through Wikimedia Russia and one of our local partners
(but it can be something different). I've no clue if Wikimedia Foundation
has done anything of the kind before and have no idea where to look such
things up. I would be very happy for whatever advice and support you or
your qualified colleagues can provide. If the idea is too wild or currently
seems inappropriate, please be direct.
regards,
farhad

Hi Farhad,
Thank you for sharing the recap from the event and these successes! It's
so
great to see the pictures and the kids during the event.
In terms of your request #2, I'd love some more information about what
an
official letter or backing could look like? Is this something that we've
done in the past? I'm wondering if perhaps this may be a request for the
Community Engagement team or someone else, to ask about how we can
acknowledge the support given by the regional leaders to make this event
happen. Let me know if there's an example you can share of a previous
letter of support, or I can connect you to someone in CE to talk about next
steps there.
Given the success of this event, I think it would be great if you would
be able to
draft a blog about the event, the learnings from it, and
potentially even link to the English guide about Wiki Education
Implementation that you mention. We could post this on the Wikimedia blog
and amplify it there, to get the most visibility about your event. Is this
something doable? I'm happy to help support if you can put a draft together
- there are some draft guidelines here if needed.
Let me know your thoughts on next steps, Farhad. Thank you!
Nadee

Nichole's speech was a perfectly dosed first Wikimedia movement
introduction to about 2/3 of the audience in attendance (today we worked in
a smaller tent with about 40-50 seats). I used 10-15 min of waiting for
Nichole's connection to have Wikimedia speakers introduce themselves,
explain why they were on the forum grounds and interact with the audience a
bit (a fallback on the original plan in my July 12 email).

email I should have used 10:30-11:30am UTC instead of 1:30-2:30pm MSK.

forums are centered around bonding of
youth from their different thematic camps and
cross-pollination of ideas
through joint activities and contests. Education & skill development
related activities are only held at dedicated camps or clubs (like Selet
WikiSchool Spring & Fall sessions). Session participants are randomly
selected, even few organizers had a chance to listen to what all session
speakers had to share.
>>> 3) Short one-off sessions are most
satisfactory for the audience if
they leave them feeling they've learned some
tangible skill developed
through completion of a set of short & simple practical tasks.

newbies to the page necessary for
tasks or topics at hand.

>>> P.S. About an hour before Nichole's session, I was called up by a
Regional department of Education unit director requesting me to provide
them within a week with a written step-by-step algorithm (guideline) in
Russian or Tatar on how their elementary & secondary teachers in all
subject areas working with all age-groups can start using Wiki in education
beginning this coming school year. I agreed to start looking at it
beginning July 22nd. The interest is in having students engage in content
creation, so I convinced them to start with Tatar Wikipedia, as the
community is less stringent or more tolerant about content without proper
referencing, categories, etc.
>>>
>>> P.P.S. Supporting Tatar's vitality seems one of clear political
priorities of Tatarstan President. He came into our tent when I was
speaking Russian, welcomed me smilingly, addressed me in Tatar using
phrases that communicated to all Tatar speakers his preference that I use
the regional language when delivering Wiki-related content. It's a clear
sign Mr.President wants to see more topics delivered / interpreted into
Tatar in Selet camps/forums. I was filmed giving the video interview in
Tatar today right before Nichole's session (which I actually started it in
Tatar as well), so I hope Selet will publish that video on Commons or its
CC-BY website for me to have a clear proof that I actually did speak Tatar
throughout the Wiki-session ;)

I think the best thing to do would be if you, Timerkhan or anyone else can
take some pictures during the event - especially of the youth participating
in editing or learning more about Wiki projects. We can share those photos
on Twitter to amplify the work and the conference. As to the blog - if this
is of interest, I can work with you and others on the team to put together
a blog post with a summary of the event and some highlights. This can be
short, and just highlight some of the most interesting sessions or any
feedback you all heard during the event - anything that speaks to the
success of the event. Perhaps a good thing to do would be to circle back on
this next week, after the event is over? We can see if it's doable to write
a short blog that week or the week after about the event.

year-round Selet clubs in various cities and towns of Tatarstan. First
declaration of intent was made in December 2018
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CEE/Newsletter/December_2018/Contents/Russi…
but the format is still undecided. Selet WikiSchool YouTube-broadcasts are
run from their downtown Kazan location, most participants watching them in
recording whenever convenient.

few
Internet users in this part of the world do know what it means - even
despite the fact that they are widely used by Russia's President, Federal &
Regional governments, Ministries, etc.
https://w.wiki/677
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> 5) This coming Tuesday, July 16, myself and User:Marat-avgust
(Tatar Wikipedia admin, many times Wikimedia Russia' Wiki-Award recipient
for content contribution into ttWP) are invited to the meeting with
Regional Government and Department of Education representatives to consult
them on steps and strategies to introduce Wiki-component into secondary
school program (regional component related to Tatar language). We will be
citing successful experience with Selet WikiSchool, two other local
partners, and on-going discussions with local universities. Some of their
representatives will later attend Selet's IT BILER FORUM at the time when
Nichole will be connecting.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> 6) Wikimedia Russia is developing its network of partners in
Tatarstan (various NGOs, Universities, regional & local State bodies,
making some in-roads into GLAMs), so idea of having a separate multilingual
& multicultural WUG TATARSTAN is maturing. Selet WikiSchool youth, which is
currently developing and showcasing their project through Wikimedia Russia
& the growing Tatar-language specific WUG TAT, have expressed interest in
joining projects of the regionally-centered entity as well (Tatar is an
important component of Selet's activities, but many don't know it well
enough to write in it). Selet leadership expressed interest in possible
cooperation in the framework of a weekly Russian-English-Tatar-English
Poli-lingual Wikiclub open to the public - the idea itself was born in the
Fall of 2018, we are in the process of formalizing the concept, the format
and finding the appropriate location partner to host it (one of the
possible candidates is Tatarstan National Library
https://ru.wikinews.org/?curid=228908 , though our youth is also offering
other publicly accessible locations with availability of PCs and we are
exploring more options).
