Dear Indic community members,
I am writing to share to share with you an update from the Malayalam Wiki
community. The Malayalam Wikipedia Education Programme[1] - a partnership
between the Malayalam Wiki Community and the Government of Kerala's IT@School
Project was inaugurated on June 4th in Anchal, Kollam. There are inspiring
pictures of the function on Commons.[2]
This has already been covered in a very nice way by the press in this
article.[3]
Shiju has posted a blog about this Programme.[4] There are some useful tips
for all Indic communities who might be interested in education programmes.
These include a focus on importance of local content as well as the crucial
involvement of community members who are teachers and students as new editors.
There is also an example of how to build strong partnerships with education
authorities with support from community members involved in education.
Do join me in congratulating the Malayalam community, in wishing this project
the very best of success, in welcoming the students as new editors and in
looking forward to fantastic content from the beautiful Kollam region of Kerala.
Noopur
