Talk:Wiki Education Foundation

June 21 All-Affiliates Brand Meeting

All Wikimedia affiliates are invited to join an urgent All-Affiliates Brand Meeting in two sessions on Sunday June 21, regarding the most recent developments.-- Pharos (talk) 19:59, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Pharos, Wiki Education isn't an affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 14:41, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, of course, my mistake. I had been using AWB from the links on an 'Affiliates Data Portal' page and did not realize that Wiki Education was being listed there.--Pharos (talk) 16:13, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

(Of course, anyone from Wiki Education is welcome to join as well if wanted, there will be some non-affiliate people participating as well.)--Pharos (talk) 22:34, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi I have been given the information that your organization, Wiki Education is in charge of this dashboard https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/IITEDA/Virtual_Edit-a-thon_on_Libraries,_Information_Technology_and_SDGs_(25th_September_to_16th_November_2020) , ː Looking at the dashboard, we have seen that the user name of some members of our francophone group appear, when they have never registered to this event. Could you please make sure our pseudos are removed? Kind regards Nattes à chat (talk) 17:16, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Nattes à chat: The event was deleted yesterday.--Ragesoss (talk) 17:37, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Do we translate the page any day?

Hello, I came by via Grants pages, where the Module:Training Pages is of interest to applicants from Japan/East Asia. Are we to offer the profile of the team in multiple languages? Please count me in if there be any plan, would love to make the gap smaller with you and *under-represented* communities including ja. Cheers, -- Omotecho (talk) 20:12, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Omotecho: that module was part of an older version of training modules on English Wikipedia (which could be copied over to other languages and translated). However, we don't use or maintain that training system anymore. Currently, our training system is the one that is integrated into the two dashboards: Wiki Education Dashboard and Programs & Events Dashboard. The second one has training modules that can be translated, if you think they would be useful for the ja.wikipedia community. The way to do that is to visit a training slide (like this one), follow the 'wiki source' link at the bottom (which goes to a page like this), translate the page using Meta's translation system, then go to the index page for that training module (like this) and click 'reload from source' at the bottom. That will load the new translations into the system.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

@Sage (Wiki Ed), thank you indeed for the crisp reply, and I would prioritize working on Programs & Events Dashboard much comfortably. I wish if you could think of three dashboards with higher demand sought by Grants applicants, towards the reporting phase? Our community would need at least one more dashboard IMHO, aside from the one to guard safety for events onwiki/offwiki. It was very meaning for me to work on the one for safety, as it led me to join the discussion for Universal Code of Conduct locally.

Well, in longer term, I would ponder how Wiki_Ed becomes a familiar term in our community... If it be a starting point, could I add {{tl:languages}} tag to meta:Wiki_Education_Foundation? Cheers, Omotecho (talk) 00:46, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Omotecho: I'm not certain which training modules have the highest demand, but my guess is that Wikipedia Essentials and Editing Basics are the most widely useful. I think adding the {{tl:languages}} template would be fine; we don't make major changes to this page very often, so it would probably be fine to translate.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:52, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Inside Wiki: Reading Wikipedia in Classroom

Hey Community,

I am excited to introduce to you a project aimed at empowering and educating Nigerian students aged 9 to 17 about higher institute courses and career pathways. Our initiative seeks to bridge knowledge gaps among young learners by providing them with valuable insights into various academic disciplines and the diverse notable persons in Nigeria from such disciplines available.

Through a series of engaging workshops, interactive sessions, and guest speaker events, we aim to inspire curiosity, foster exploration, and ignite passion in our youth participants. By collaborating with local schools, and community centers, we strive to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment where every child has the opportunity to discover their interests and aspirations.

Our project is rooted in the belief that every child deserves access to quality education and information that will empower them to make informed decisions about their academic and career paths. We are committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring that all children, regardless of background or circumstance, have the opportunity to realize their full potential.

We invite like-minded individuals and organizations to join us in this important endeavour. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of Nigerian youth and pave the way for a brighter future filled with endless possibilities.

Thank you for your support and collaboration.

Sincerely, Pheritenom (talk) 00:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
