Education/Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom/For Certified Trainers


Applying for a Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom grant

Certified Trainers of the Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom program can apply for funding to develop their first implementation of the program. The call for applications is announced directly to the network of Certified Trainers and the proposals are evaluated by the Education team. The application form consists of a project proposal that includes a statement of purpose, goals of the program, activities, budget, and evaluation strategies. In the first round of grants launched during 2022, we were able to fund 6 implementations taking place in Mexico, Guinea, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, and Ukraine.
