Thanks, Nahid! We celebrated Wikidata's 8th birthday in 2020. This year we are bringing the EduWiki Week, a whole week to celebrate our work. You can have more information here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/EduWiki_Week_2022
We are so excited! Looking forward to seeing active participation from the education community. Let's use the opportunity to learn, share, and connect. \o/ Best!
