Education/News/January 2022/Join us this February for the EduWiki Week
EduWiki Week is a virtual festival of free knowledge in education. It aims to showcase the value of the Wikimedia projects in education, and the amazing work of our EduWiki community and allied organisations. The idea of EduWiki Week comes from Wikidata Education Week, a virtual celebration event the Education team at Wikimedia Foundation had organized during the 8th birthday of Wikidata.
While we plan to celebrate from 21st February 2022 ― 25th February 2022 as EduWiki Week, this will be a hybrid event with asynchronous, live, and community showcases.
Asynchronous celebrations: During asynchronous celebrations, affiliates can use this opportunity to organize local events for their community members, teachers, and other stakeholders in the education sector. Share stories of their work on different social media platforms and share resources with others. You can organize interviews, edit-a-thons, virtual carnivals focused on the theme of education.
How to participate in asynchronous celebrations?
- Add your event/campaign to this page here with a description of the event.
- Use the hashtag #EduWikiWeek2022 on social media posts.
Live sessions: We plan to organize 5 live interviews during the week focused on different topics related to global education. We aim to show how our work aligns with the global education goals.
Synchronous celebrations: A 4 hours long synchronous celebration will be organized for our community members to showcase their work. This includes 9 lightning talks for 20 minutes each and an hour-long mingling session. Presenters can use this opportunity to showcase their work, introduce new tools and gadgets to the education community, have resource walkthroughs, and others. It can be live or pre-recorded sessions.
