On 18 and 19 March 2016, a two day Wikipedia Education Program (WEP) workshop will be conducted at Christ University, Bangalore to discuss the efficacy, challenges and learnings of the Wikipedia Education Program.

It will also aim to reflect WEP as imagined globally and simulate activities in accordance to the vision of WMF.
