  "textContent": "On 24 March 2026, the \nEduWiki Knowledge Showcase brought together educators, Wikimedians, and community members for a 90-minute session filled with shared experiences, insights, and creative reflections on Wikimedia in education. At the heart of the conversation was a simple but powerful idea: how educators, communities, and Wikimedia affiliates are using open knowledge to shape learning across diverse contexts.\n\nThe session was facilitated by the EduWiki Hub team, with moderation by Rita\nMaliqi and Barakat\nAdegboye. It brought together **74 participants from across the globe** , including **Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), East, Southeast Asia and the Pacific (ESEAP), Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), Northern and Western Europe (NWE), North America (NA)** ,**South Asia (SA), and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) regions,** reflecting the growing global interest in Wikimedia in education. Live interpretation was available in **Arabic, Bahasa Indonesian, French, Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish** , enabling broader participation across diverse linguistic communities. This multilingual support was made possible through collaboration with partners, including the ESEAP\nHub, whose support was particularly instrumental in facilitating Bahasa Indonesian interpretation.\n\nThe showcase opened with a creative contribution by **Belvin Tawuya** from Wikimedia UK, who explored information literacy and its role in navigating today’s digital knowledge landscape. He also highlighted the role of Wikimedia UK in advancing a broader understanding of knowledge creation, working collaboratively with educators and policymakers. This was followed by a presentation from Anton\nProtsiuk, Programs Coordinator at Wikimedia\nUkraine, who provided an overview of Wikimedia Ukraine’s education program. He shared insights into building a strong community of wiki educators, developing online courses for teachers, and designing sustainable models for integrating Wikipedia into formal education systems.\n\nA second creative contribution by Oby Ezeilo, titled _“The Day My Students Edited the Internet,”_ offered a reflective and personal perspective on introducing students to Wikipedia editing and the transformative impact of contributing to open knowledge in a secondary school setting.\n\nThe session continued with a presentation by Dr. Walaa Abdel\nManaem from the Egypt\nWikimedians User Group, who shared her extensive experience leading Wikipedia education programs across Egyptian universities. She highlighted the scale and impact of these initiatives, including thousands of new articles created, and emphasized the importance of empowering educators and students to actively participate in knowledge production.\n\nAn interactive question and answer session followed, allowing participants to engage directly with the speakers, exchange ideas, and reflect on how these approaches could be adapted within their own contexts. Participants raised questions around youth engagement and retention within the movement, with presenters sharing practical insights drawn from their experiences.\n\nThe session concluded with closing remarks and \nEduWiki Hub updates, reinforcing opportunities for community engagement and continued collaboration.\n\nThe \nEduWiki Knowledge Showcase continues to serve as a platform for sharing practices, amplifying community voices, and strengthening connections across the Wikimedia education ecosystem.\n\n**The recording and additional resources are available on the** \nMeta page**.**\n\n## Get involved!\n\nThe EduWiki Hub invites you to be part of its initiatives:\n\n  * Become a member of EduWiki: \nEduWiki Membership Registration\n  * Submit your Wikimedia Education stories to the Education\nNewsroom\n  * Subscribe to the Education Newsletter to have This Month in\nEducation delivered to you: \nHere\n  * Follow us on social media: Instagram, \nLinkedIn, Facebook, and Telegram\n\n",
