The purpose of this campaign is to introduce Wikipedia to various educational institutions of Armenia: 3 high schools, 1 college, and 2 universities. School and university students and teachers are an important part of our wiki community, thus, we will celebrate EduWiki Week by engaging more young people, teachers, and lecturers in the development of the "Education through Wikipedia" concept.

This event is intended for all Wikipedia editors on Serbian Wikipedia. The goal is to write as many new articles as possible about education, institutions and individuals and related subjects that are important for Serbia.

  • Wikimedia Estonia - Collection of Good Practices in Wikipedia Education – A series of interviews

To celebrate EduWiki week we want to present a collection of good practices in using Wikipedia article writing in the Estonian Universities. We have already started interviewing the lecturers who will share their experience and give good tips to their colleagues on how to easily switch Wikipedia article writing into their subjects at the university. They will also talk about their relationship with Wikipedia and other Wikipedia related educational projects. The interviews will be in Estonian but we will publish a short summary in English on EduWiki Week to highlight the best practices. The series of interviews is also meant to celebrate the 20th anniversary year of Estonian Wikipedia.

Tartu Wikiclub started in November 2021 in a small private group. It brought together people from very different backgrounds who were interested in the Wikipedia world. By today they have already written some articles on their own, uploaded hundreds of images to Wikimedia Commons, and updated Wikiquotes. In addition, there have been some fun learn-Wikipedia-sessions and interesting common discussions on Wikipedia topics.

Now it is time for Wikiclub to become public. We plan to announce the public Wikiclub meetings and invite everyone to join us. The launch week is EduWiki Week 2022.


For the past three years, Wikimedia Ukraine's biggest educational project has been the annual article contest for teachers, "Wikipedia for School" devoted to topics in Ukrainian secondary education curricula. The 2021-2022 edition of the competition runs from December 1st to February 28th. More than 250 educators subscribed to the contest news, 70 teachers participated in three webinars dedicated to the contest, and half of them went on to sign up on Wikipedia. To celebrate EduWiki week, we decided to hold one last event on 21th February at 16:00 UTC before the end of the contest. We will look through frequently asked questions and help solve difficulties with joining the contest. Because helping teachers = helping Ukrainian Wikipedia!
