Hi,
We are reaching out to share that we have proposed a project - Designing a
template for a sustainable education program. In the proposed program, we
will study the previously organized education programs, their outcomes,
challenges, and issues. We will also design and practice a methodology on a
structured and governed education program to observe the difference in
engagement and outcome. As a final outcome, we expect to create and share a
template for a sustainable education program in India.
Please find more details here-

Dear All,
I hope you're doing well. I am glad to share the links of a short study
just published on the CIS site and Meta-Wiki. This is part of a series of
short-term studies undertaken by the CIS-A2K team. The study is about content
creation on Eastern Punjabi Wikipedia. I am thankful to the interviewees,
also to Sneha for editorial oversight and Sumandro Chattapadhyay for
external review.

Subject: Help us organize for #WikiForHumanRights!
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello all,
We are excited for #WikiForHumanRights -- at the office hours and
afterwards community groups throughout the movement have already connected
with us about organizing. This year we are going to focus on the "right to
a healthy environment" and we need your help!
What can you do?
If you like to organize an event, we have created a list of ideas at:
https://w.wiki/33kh. You can also learn more about kinds of activities from
our last office hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_QEE60hcFk Keep in
mind that we are support rapid grants to help you go further by means of
financial support rapid grants will be available through April 15 -- please
apply any time during that window through the application process.
If you are organizing an event, please add it to the table at:
https://w.wiki/35gK
We will also have a content-writing challenge with prizes from April 15 -
May 15 you can learn more about the challenge and sign up for the challenge
at: https://w.wiki/35gE
We also have developed a draft list of articles to be created or enriched
with UN Human Rights: https://w.wiki/33ki . We hope these inspire you to
think about what your community could do to fill the gaps on your wikis
about the right to healthy environment: this could include topics related
to human rights, climate or environmental justice, communities impacted by
environmental health issues, or similar.
We encourage working on Wikipedia and on sister projects: Commons,
Wikidata, Wiktionary ... etc.
If you have a question, you can send us an email (Alex Stinson:
astinson(a)wikimedia.org, Michel Bakni: mbakni-ctr(a)wikimedia.org), or you can
attend the support and mentoring meeting we are organizing on Zoom on at 14:00
(GMT) 18 March 2021. [1]

Subject: WikiForHumanRights at Campaign Team Office Hours and upcoming
WMSusDev meeting
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Community,
As we announced during December,[1] this year’s WikiForHumanRights campaign
will be arriving for Earth Day this year: April 15-May 15. The theme is
“Right to a Healthy Environment” -- connecting the 20th Birthday “Human”
theme with the global conversations about COVID-19, environmental crisis,
like climate change, and human rights.You can learn more about the theme at
our under-development home page. [2]
The campaign will have two parts: a challenge, like the WikiGap Challenge,
and decentralized digital and in-person events (where COVID-19 risk
assessments allow).
We need your help organizing the decentralized events -- and will be
supporting development of activities through mentoring and rapid grants.
Do you want to be part of organizing? The Campaigns Team at the Wikimedia
Foundation invites you to:
-
the upcoming Wikimedians for Sustainable Development meeting on 21
February at 11:00am UTC [3]
-
Our next virtual office hour on 25 February 2021 at 3:00pm UTC via
zoom.[4]
If you are interested, but can’t attend the meeting: you can also join the
Wikimedians for Sustainable Development communication channels for general
updates [5] or the WikiForHumanRights telegram channel, where we will share
more updates for organizers [6].
Please forward this information to movement organizers who you think will
be interested.
Looking forward to talking with you soon!
