Re: [Wikimedia-l] Find Community Engagement sessions at Wikimania 2015!

[Maria Cruz]

Hi all,
a few more sessions that were missed in the last email:

*Wednesday (hackathon):*
* *Education Program Extension Hackathon.*
* Workplace 2, Don Genaro, 1 pm.
Hosted by Sage Ross.*

*Friday*
* Pitfalls, protocols and prior planning: A panel on making the most of
Education Program.
*
16:30 - 17 hs. Panel hosted by Anna Koval. *This session will help
Wikimedians, educators, those who are already running Wikipedia Education
Programs, and those who are already using the Wikimedia projects in
educational settings, as well as those who are curious about it. This
session will present successful models, pitfalls, and protocols that will
help everyone make the most of their education program.

*Saturday*
* *Communicating your projects: Wikipedia Education program as an example.

16 - 16:30 hs. Tutorial hosted by Samir Elsharbaty.* Many wikimedians come
to great ideas, plan and implement them in a great way but no one else
hears about, other than those involved in the activity. This tutorial will
try to cover how event organizers can reach out to bigger (and the right)
audience, among other things.


Cheers!

Hi all!
As Wikimanía México is just around the corner, I wanted to share with you
all an overview of sessions hosted by Community Engagement department at
WMF.

a range of topics! We will be happy to have you join us in them =)

presentation will focus on experimental Wikipedia Library programs and
tools growing out of these conversations that are focused on university and
other research libraries. The discussion will seek to answer: How effective

higher quality scholarly references to help further their research?

Unveiled.

member) & Katy Love (FDC staff member) & Dariusz Jemielniak (FDC

learn about how they make decisions. Hear their reflections on the past
year overseeing the Annual Plan Grants.

* *GLAM Learning Circle.

14 - 15:30 hs. Panel Hosted by Jaime Anstee and María Cruz.* A follow-up to
learning circles facilitated at GLAM Wiki Conference in the Hague and next

in GLAM-wiki partnering.

15 - 15:30 hs. Panel presentation and discussion hosted by Nick Shockey and

9 - 10 hs. Discussion hosted by Comunity Liaisons Team.* Do you feel

around product development
