Welcome to the Wikipedia Education Update — a newsletter from the Wikimedia
Foundation that is distributed the first and third Tuesday of each
month. Someone
from our staff has talked with you about our Wikipedia Education
Program<https://contacts.wikimedia.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=655&qid=13264>to
bring Wikipedia into higher education classrooms around the world, and
we wanted to keep you in the loop on all of our exciting activities. If you
would prefer not to receive these messages, simply reply to the email and
ask for your address to be removed. Learn more about subscribing or read
the archives.<https://contacts.wikimedia.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=656&qid=13264>
Determine future of U.S., Canada programs
<https://contacts.wikimedia.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=657&qid=13264>When
we started the U.S. program as the Public Policy Initiative pilot in 2010,
we had no idea if it would work. But it succeeded, so much that we've had
to turn away interested professors because we didn't have enough Ambassador
resources to support the demand. Given the enormous interest in the
program, we need to start thinking about its future. While the Wikimedia
Foundation is fully committed to the long-term success of the program, we
believe that the Education Program should be led by our volunteers who have
made this program successful: the Wikipedians and the academics. Learn more
about and apply to join the new Working Group to determine the future of
the U.S. and Canada Wikipedia Education
Programs.<https://contacts.wikimedia.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=657&qid=13264>
Brazil pilot kicks off at two universities
<https://contacts.wikimedia.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=658&qid=13264>Students
at two universities in Brazil are editing the Portuguese Wikipedia this
term as part of their coursework. Professors in history, sociology,
physics, and public policy will be assigning their students to improve
Wikipedia's coverage of course topics in a small pilot of the Wikipedia
Education Program in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Ambassadors are
supporting the Brazilian students in class and online, with virtual support
coming from Portuguese-speaking Wikipedians worldwide. Learn more about the
pilot program by reading this blog post.

than 200 students and faculty members at Ain Shams University in Cairo
showed up to an in-person outreach event organized by Wikipedia Ambassadors
from the Cairo Pilot and a local student group. Attendees learned how the
Arabic Wikipedia works and how they could contribute to it. Check out the
group's photo album to see more photos from this successful
event.<https://contacts.wikimedia.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=660&qid=13264>

<https://contacts.wikimedia.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=661&qid=13264>Journalists
from around the world are taking note of the Wikipedia Education Program.
Articles in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and Arabic have come out in April
highlighting the work being done to promote Wikipedia's use in higher
education classrooms worldwide, including a long article in tech magazine
Fast Company's online site about the international program. As always, you
