Hola Wikimedia and education community!
We are in the final week of applications to the Wikimedia & Education
Greenhouse, time has really flown by! We have heard many of you have a
great idea for a team application but are a little worried about the
requirements for completing the application form or about the time needed.
Don't you worry!
We have created a step-by-step video guide showing you how a team could go
about completing the application form using an imaginary (but very
realistic) example. It takes less than an hour
<

You can watch the video along while completing your team application for
extra tips, explanations, and clear examples. We hope you find it helpful!
Additionally, we will be hosting two "Hit Submit!" virtual sessions to
support you through the process of completing a team application form. The
goal of these virtual events is that by the end of the session you will be
able to submit a complete team application! Join us in the following times
and dates:
- Thursday May 9, 13:00 - 15:00 UTC (link to join

- Saturday May 11, 15:00 - 17:00 UTC (link to join

Before saying goodbye I'd also like to answer one common question we have
received: What happens after the team applications close on May 12? Well,
from May 13 - 19 we are giving the community the opportunity to provide
feedback to the team applications. This means teams will have one extra
week to make improvements to their proposals before the selection committee
starts their review process.
We hope this encourages you to submit a team application soon! Don't forget
that if you need any extra support we are only a message away.
Cheers!
-Melissa
