Dear Wikimedians and friends,
I hope everyone is doing well. I am forwarding this email from the
education mailing list. We are hosting a virtual meeting for our community
members involved in Wikimedia education projects, and based in the South
Asia region on 30th April at 15:00 IST. I understand the challenges that
India and the entire region are currently going through. I share my
thoughts and prayers with you all, and I hope this shall pass soon.
While we hope to see some of you in the meeting, we will also record the
meeting for anyone who will not be able to attend. This will be a space to
identify the challenges and collaboration opportunities in the region. You
can find more details here:

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

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
Best!
