<Wikipedia & Education User Group/EduWiki Hub

The EduWiki Hub (Wikipedia & Education User Group’s global initiative) has established four Working Groups to decentralize leadership and bolster the education movement worldwide. Each group focuses on a core service area aligned with the UG’s initial governance structure, the global needs, the EduWiki Theory of Change, and Hub’s mission: expanding outreach, curating open educational resources, enhancing technical infrastructure, and building volunteer capacity. These groups, which are representatives of different regions within the wikimedia movements, advise on strategy and coordinate activities in partnership with the UG Board and EduWiki Hub staff to provide services to the global EduWiki movement

Working Groups

The four (4) initial working groups that have been established to deliver core services to the community includes;

Outreach and Engagement Working Group: Responsible for expanding visibility and impact by building partnerships, strengthening communication, and planning, organizing, and promoting Wikimedia education programs such as the EduWiki Workshop and Knowledge Showcase.

Resource Curation and Development Working Group: Responsible for curating, organizing, and localizing high-quality Wikimedia Open Educational Resources (OERs).

Technical Infrastructure Working Group: Responsible for addressing the technical needs of the community, including the development, maintenance, and integration of the Events and Programs Dashboard for Wikimedia education programs.

Capacity Building and Volunteer Support Working Group: Responsible for designing and implementing mentorship and training opportunities, and supporting the growth and well-being of volunteers and education leaders.

Responsibilities — Working Groups, Board Members, and EduWiki Hub Staff

Working Group members

Advise on and contribute to activities in their focus areas, including reviewing resource drafts, recommending partners, promoting EduWiki Hub services, and shaping service plans.
Act as regional liaisons, gathering input from their communities to inform Hub implementation.
Support decentralized leadership and effective service delivery in line with the Hub’s governance plan.
Collaborate closely with the User Group’s board members and assigned Hub staff to align priorities and ensure smooth implementation.

User Group Board members

Provide oversight of EduWiki Hub initiatives and participate in working groups as appropriate.
The UG Board will collaborate with the advisory committee and Hub staff to provide services to the global EduWiki movement.
Ensure strategic alignment between working-group proposals and the user group’s priorities and governance.

EduWiki Hub staff

Oversee and support the working groups assigned to them, coordinating activities and following through on agreed initiatives.

Execute plans developed with working groups and manage technical priorities (dashboards, repositories).

Lead communications and outreach; publishing the EduWiki newsletter, managing social media, and coordinating events and workflows.
Handle logistics, documentation, and reporting to ensure proposals and services are implemented and sustained.

Participation & Selection Criteria

Working Groups are voluntary, participatory, and inclusive, promoting broad representation across regions, languages, and experiences. Each group typically consists of 5–8 members, who commit to a 2-year term with an estimated 3 hours per month for meetings. Priority is given to paid staff, particularly affiliate education program officers, as they are more likely to have dedicated time for active participation in WG activities.

Applicants must:

Be a member of Wikipedia + Education User Group (either as a volunteer or Education program staff of an existing affiliate).
Commit approximately 3 hours per month to the WG tasks.
Commit to serving a 2-year term (renewable).
Be willing to collaborate in a diverse, multilingual, and global team.
Bring regional, linguistic, and cultural diversity to the group.
Have reliable internet access and be comfortable working in virtual, asynchronous environments.
Be able to communicate in English (working language for most documentation) and provide translation/interpretation support for the EduWiki Activities if necessary.
Commit to upholding the Wikimedia Foundation Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) and Friendly Space Policy.
