Education/Things you can do

Wikimedia volunteers can help educational projects by meeting with teaching staff, librarians or support staff to raise awareness, using the many resources for educators already created. Some funding is available for travel and subsistence, but only by prior arrangement and in accordance with Wikimedia UK's Expenses Policy. The office can arrange for supporting materials if given plenty of prior notice.

If you're interested in getting involved in education activities, get in touch with us or sign your name on the Education Portal People Page. If you want to be more heavily involved in the strategy, and board/operations side of things, you could join the Education Committee.
