Role
[edit]We work with people in the Wikimedia movement, educational institutions, policy makers, and others to help people around the world engage with Wikimedia projects to learn and grow throughout their lives. We want to build a world where knowledge is available and equitable for everyone, and people have the skills and information they need to thrive in the digital age.

Guidelines for inclusion by the education team
[edit]- We require any formal partners to ensure there is gender equity among project participants as well as among staff and volunteers.
- We foster leadership among the Wikimedia & education community that is representative of the diversity of the movement & the world.
- We support partners to reduce barriers to participation for underrepresented groups.
- We prioritize efforts that reduce knowledge gaps on Wikimedia projects.
- We ensure differently abled people are able to access and use any materials we produce, and are able to participate in any activities we sponsor.
- We incentivize translation of the materials we produce to ensure that information is accessible in all UN languages, in addition to as many other languages as possible.
- We ensure there are multiple touch points for people to receive support in different regions and languages.
