Just to note that I've already communicated the possibility of volunteer support and equipment loan to the organiser. Waiting for the decision from the WMF on the project & event grant application related to this, but do express your interest now if this is something you may like to take part in.

Hey all.

If you haven't seen it already, UK Wikimedians, and the chapter, will
probably be interested in [1], a proposal to film, photograph, and
talk to MEPs.

Having only had a brief glance over the email, it seems like a very
credible opportunity that Wikimedia UK will want to support in spirit,
if not in more concrete terms. I post an extract below.

I apologise if someone has already posted this, but I can't recall anything.

Best,
Harry

"After contacting the European
Parliament I was able to get their approval, the support by the parties and
a date [to meet, photograph and film with MEPs in February].
                                        ... [The 2014 European]
elections are a great
opportunity to raise awareness on our material we have in Wikipedia and on
Commons. It is also an excellent opportunity to bring together volunteers
in doing our core work together, maybe we can transfer the idea of
Parliament Projects to other countries. Volunteers get the opportunity to
learn from each other - the EP is a very challenging project, having more
than 700 MEPs to be handled within a few days."
