Dear African Wikimedians, Just a quick reminder that we are still collecting stories for the January 2026 edition of the EduWiki Newsletter, and the submission deadline is fast approaching.
If you haven’t yet, we encourage you to submit stories highlighting Wikimedia and education projects, experiences, reflections, or your community’s education plans for 2026 via the *Education Newsroom <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/Newsroom>*. The deadline for submissions is 26 January 2026. We would also like to remind you that the* January 2026 EduWiki Knowledge Showcase* is happening tomorrow. The showcase offers an opportunity to reflect together on Wikipedia at 25, hear from community members, and exchange perspectives on the role of open knowledge and education in our work. Registration remains open via the *event Meta page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group_Showcase/January_2026>* for those who would like to join the live session and take part in the discussion. Live interpretation is available in *French, Spanish, and Portuguese*. Thank you to everyone who has already submitted, and we look forward to reading more stories and seeing many of you at the showcase. Warm regards, Barakat Adegboye <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:BAdegboye_(EdWH)>, *Communications Assistant,* *EduWiki Hub <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_%26_Education_User_Group/EduWiki_Hub>* On Sat, 10 Jan 2026 at 10:05, Barakat Adegboye < [email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > > As we begin a new year, we are pleased to open submissions for the *January > 2026 edition of the EduWiki Newsletter**.* > > We invite community members to share stories that highlight projects, > events, experiences, or reflections connecting Wikimedia and Education.
