Коллеги, Информирую, что руководитель образовательного департамента Фонда Викимедиа поддержала мою рекомендацию кандидатуры Тимерхана Шайхутдинова (User:Тимерхан) представить Россию на международной конференции "Викимедиа и Образование" https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia%2BEducation_Conference_2019 (5-7 апреля, Испания/Страна Басков) в секции про обучение на родном языке с презентацией о работе проекта https://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/ВикиШкола_Сәләт https://ru.wikinews.org/?curid=202455
В указанные даты сам представлять Россию там не смогу. С Тимерханом с осени 2017-го года преимущественно говорим и переписываемся на английском, да и время подготовиться есть - т.ч. справится + к весенней сессии 2019 года с новыми идеями приступят. фархад -------- Пересылаемое сообщение -------- 14.02.2019, 22:15, "Nichole Saad" <ns...@wikimedia.org>: Hi Farhad, Thanks for the introduction. Did he apply for the conference already? There are travel scholarships available through the program committee. I suggest he fill out the registration form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdpc7KqsV5x1BJvqGXoMEerox4tOuE47EF0OuGIQO0aDCma5A/viewform and on the question that says, "what are your plans for the Conference?" to mention that Sailesh and Nichole have asked him to be a speaker on the panel about mother language education. The conference organizers will help with the visa letter. thanks!
