The proposal comes from one of our Swiss German members, User:Gestumblindi from Solothurn. He is convinced that there is and will always be too little activity on Wikinews. His proposal is meant as an attempt to gather opinions. I know that there is some educational activity going on, this argument should be strenghened by someone like Laura Hale.

Currently, there is at least one French educational activity happening on French Wikinews. (The French education project provides an opportunity for some African contributors to share news that would not otherwise be published.) On English Wikinews, there is a class of university students practicing journalism skills as journalism class at the University of Wollongong. This is the third time the instructor has used this Wikinews, with community support, to teach future journalists the importance of neutral, fact based reporting that must be verifiable. Comment would be appreciated.
