Grants talk:IdeaLab/Wiki Nigeria
Comments from SGill (WMF)
editHi @Oluwaisinvolved: Thanks a lot for this amazing idea. I would like to know a bit more about this:
- Have you identified any institutions where you would like to organize these meetings? If yes, what kind of support do you think you will get from them?
- How do you plan to engage with students and teachers? Will there be group discussions or presentations?
- When are you planning to implement this idea?
Resources for your education project
editHi Oluwaisinvolved, and thank you for your submission to the New Readers Inspire Campaign! I’m excited to learn more about your ideas and help support you moving forward. Allow me to introduce myself and my team:
My name is Nichole Saad, and I’m an education program manager on the Education Team at the Wikimedia Foundation. You can read more about me on Wiki. In short, I’m an education specialist who has worked in about 20 schools in 7 countries, and supported education development projects for governments and UN agencies. Now, I support people like you to carry out education activities in the Wikimedia movement that help students achieve valuable 21st century skills while building awareness for the movement and adding content to Wikimedia projects, especially on local language Wikis.
I wanted to share some resources that might be helpful for you while you are planning your rapid grant proposals, and also offer you office hours time where we can have a conversation about your project ideas and how you can plan for success. Please find below the linked resources, and a link to a Doodle where you can select the time that works best for you. I will follow up with at least two time slot offerings, and you can feel free to join the call that works best for you.
Warm regards,
