Hi, all,
According to the school project we set up, (check here if you need more information http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Initiatives/Schools_project), I have discussed the possibility with the head of sixth forum, she suggested two things. one is we need some documents to prove that "Wikipedia and relevant projects have affected school age students on some way", which will give more sense to committee who can accept us to host the workshop on schools. Second, we need more detail proposal to explain our school project and the content of workshop.
I can complete the proposal with cooperating to others. However, I am wondering that any one has resource about how Wikipedia and relevant projects influence school students? anything is helpful, reports, survey, blog and academic articles?
Cormac can give you the "more dry" academic stuff; that might depend on the audience.
The more populist stuff is Wikipedia for schools[1], the announcement of the 08/09 version[2]. Wikinews coverage of the 08/09 version being released[3].
I can probably dig up contact addresses for Andrew and Mary from *somewhere* in my address book.
