Dear Dhaval, Thank you for sharing this. Excellent work Satishchandra, Devendrasinh Gohil and Jayam Patel. Mainly because the way in which you have dovetailed the Gujarati Wiki outreach event at the primary education level. I feel this is a useful and more organic model of doing Education programmes. I think there is a larger shared interest among the Gujarati Wikipedian friends about Wiki-Education programme, as I heard Sushant Salva also extensively talking about this.
Dhaval, would you and other Gujarati Wikipedian friends want to consider developing a model of doing Wiki-Education programme. By this I mean going deeper and critically reflecting, documenting on the challenges and learnings, etc. If yes, we can bring in some critical inputs by experts in the Elementary education sector and facilitate the process. And also in making all your efforts result in larger and sustained results. Please do discuss with friends and get back either on or off the list - Warmly, Vishnu If I may, it is important that there is more cross reporting of the work being done by various Wikipedians across Indian languages. There is not much news about the passionate work being done by many of our friends. While we will work in bringing back Wiki Patrika, I feel it is very useful to have posts on this list which can act as a source of cross-pollination of ideas, collaborations and projects. Any ideas and suggestions on this would be Welcome. Best, Vishnu On 11 February 2013 04:28, Dhaval S. Vyas <dsv...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I would like to share a news with you.
