I think, since you are looking at partnerships with your local government, that Global Reach should be the first point of contact for you. I've had a conversation with Jorge Vargas, and shared some of my initial ideas about the opportunities for education: I think we may be able to plug into some efforts we are currently undertaking to promote awareness of the benefits of reading Wikipedia in the classroom. He'll be getting in touch with you to explore these partnership opportunities further, and will bring me in again later once we have a better idea about what kind of programmatic support will be needed. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  I'd also like to encourage you (if you haven't already) to join the Wikipedia & Education user group. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  all the best, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  Nichole >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  On Wed, Aug 1, 2018 at 2:45 PM Фархад Фаткуллин / Farkhad Fatkullin frhd@yandex.com wrote: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  Dear Sirs, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  This is from Farhad, User:frhdkazan (ComCom member, now a.k.a. 2018 Wikimedian of the Year) with some proposals about how to leverage a fleeting opportunity I got.

More on where I'm coming from can later be discovered @ http://frhd.narod.ru/resume-en.htm (dated, stopped my retainer contract with the Office of Tatarstan President in September 2013) & more up-to-date but in Russian @ http://sikzn.narod.ru/index/0-4 . I have previously translated & provided digital media with the link to Russian text of Wikimedia Blog post about Jess Wade https://ru.wikinews.org/wiki/?curid=176108 , & now contacted Asian colleagues to get similar content about Nahid Sultan & Wikimedia Bangladesh. Also on my agenda is to record a video-interview in Turkish for Wikimedia Turkey's communication campaign - I speak the language, User:Basak provided the questions & we talk via FB-Messenger. I also need to get back to interpreting into Russian videos of Wikimania-2018 available on YouTube - maybe later this week, before I join my family for a few days off & then a week-long interpretation assignment in Singapore. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  -- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  Farkhad Fatkullin - Фархад Фаткуллин http://sikzn.ru/ Тел.+79274158066 / skype:frhdkazan / Wikipedia:frhdkazan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  TRIGGER >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  Following Jimmy's unexpected pass during Wikimania-2018 Closing Ceremony, I became an instant celebrity of sort - myself alone I've seen over 40 articles with positive PR about Wikipedia & wider body of Wikimedia projects, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  * one by RT in Russian collecting over 1.1 million Facebook likes in under 8 hours from publication >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  * short positive ones from Russian Federation government's Official gazette & Russkiy Mir Foundation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  * first ever mention that people can donate to Wikimedia Russia volunteers organization for us to be able to fund local Wiki-seminars, conferences & contests (WMF is not funding Wikimedia Russia & can't allow us to use donate link from Russian Wikipedia or place a link to "Thank you, but we don't accept donations from Russia" page where users from Russia are being routed >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  * about to get one with links published to various WMF & Wikimedia Russia projects, including promoting free licenses, Education & GLAM programs, etc. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  I'm periodically collecting these @ https://tt.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%... when time permits, but there's more in my Facebook Messenger. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  CONTEXT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  This is also generating very positive attention on behalf of the Republic of Tatarstan government, as well as our regional NGO partner, Selet Youth Education Foundation, with whom yet unrecognized Tatar Wikimedians are jointly running Selet WikiSchool project. https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/May_2018/Selet_WikiSchool The latter want to introduce this joint initiative, as well as Wikimedia Russia executive director Stanislav Kozlovsky (Ph.D. in Psychology, Researcher & a Senior lecturer at Moscow State University) and myself to the President of Tatarstan during his visit to their Annual International Forum of Tatar-speaking High-School Age Youth on August 6th. Unrelated to that I was yesterday called up by a good acquaintance of mine (Tatarstan Vice Prime-Minister, Minister for IT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Shaykhutdinov ), who invited me to have a talk with him tomorrow about how promoting Wikimedia projects in wider Tatar-speaking world (only about 25% of Tatars live in Tatarstan) can help him get whatever current President wants him to do to develop Tatar language use online. There are some other Tatarstan Prime-Minister Office level things in the pipeline, & I am also waiting for a call from Russian Federation ex-IT Minister https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolay_Nikiforov , whom I know from his years in Tatarstan government as well (until 2012). FYI: Wikimedia movement is still unknown in Russia, with local mass media outlets are predominantly speaking about Wikipedia in Russian when there is some lapse that can be exploited to show one's Russian patriotism & thus score some points (basically same political circus, as what we are seeing in U.S. with Russia-collusion story in the overdrive, just opposite direction), and here we get something to reverse the situation big time, explaining to the wide public that it's not only Ok, but even desirable they engage with Wikimedia projects. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  IDEA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  Keeping in mind that Tatarstan President is the head of both Russia-Islamic World Strategic Vision Group & Association of Innovative Regions of Russia, Jimmy gave me a-hell-of-an-opportunity for an elevator pitch for Wikimedia movement in Russia and some adjacent counties (think Turkey & Central Asia), and I would really hate seeing it go unused. I will do my part here (about CC-BY for regional government controlled websites, Wikipedia Education Program as an extracurricular activity in all secondary school & universities, GLAM, as well as some locally funded carrots for participants), but I also want your help in driving this to a home-run. Every fall Tatarstan President & the delegation is visiting Silicon Valley & other places of interest in U.S. & it would be great if we could set-up a physical visit to Wikimedia Foundation, with a first hand presentation of best international practices the movement if proud of & have some MoU on cooperation signed (as a bureaucratic basis for continuing the conversation) with either some department in Tatarstan government, just like the one you signed with the Mexican Ministry of Culture www.eluniversal.com.mx/cultura/secretaria-de-cultura-y-wikimedia-firman-convenio-de-colaboracion. To set the context, Tatarstan has such formal documents with a number of American companies & institutions, with our private English-speaking IT Univesity @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innopolis having been developed jointly with Carnegie Mellon University (with consultancy fees paid by Tatastan), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Commission certified hospitals & plenty of U.S. investors @ our https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabuga_Special_Economic_Zone .  On top of this, we could benefit from having Selet Yough Educational movement http://selet.biz/en/ to embrace Wiki even further, so maybe a similar MoU on collaboration between them and Wikiedu.org signed simultaneously would be great (I met LiAnna and Jami in Montreal last year & was really impressed with what these guys are doing). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  REQUEST >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  Please shoot something my way before the same time tomorrow, for me to handle the meeting with Tatarstan VP more effectively to progressively open other opportunities I've touched on. On top of what I described above & my last year's ideas  @ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Frhdkazan/Wiki4RegionalDevt (in Russian), I'll be bringing to the table topics of: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  * Wikidata >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  * OSM, as well as a >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  * WOK-like project for all things in Tatar (I was contacted by a local 9th grader who, on his own initiative with a help of a teacher, did something similar for students who want to train for Russian-language SAT/ACT type exam www.kakprav.com & now offered to develop such or bigger thing for Tatar).
