Description & Background
[edit | edit source]The Wikipedia & Education User Group is a global group that facilitates, supports, and advocates for implementing Wikipedia and its sister projects into the educational and academic curricula in both the Wikimedia movement and outside of it, in the Open Education and Open Knowledge movements.
Considering UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as our own strategic process striving for “Knowledge as Service” and “Knowledge equity”, this space will connect individuals, affiliates and like-minded partners and organization looking at implementing Wikimedia projects as a teaching and learning platform.
The space will focus on:
- Sharing global experiences and best practices (for example, through talks and panels).
- Learning from each other and building capacity (for example, through workshops and panels).
- Collaborative work on joint projects/goals (for example, working groups and workshops).
- Partnerships building — going beyond the Wikimedia movement (i.e. what do we need to do to better partner with a like-minded organization).
- Achieving equity & equality through education.
