Dear all,
A few announcements regarding Wikimania:
*1 - Submission Deadline for the Education Space: *
This is a final reminder that the submission deadline for the Education
Space in Wikimania is *June 9th*, so only *3 more days to submit* your
stories, initiatives and projects and share them with the global movement.
*2 - Invitation to the Content Committee: *
While the Wikipedia & Education User Group is leading this space and
curating it, we would like to make sure that the selection process for this
space is done collaboratively, not only by us but by the wider EDUWiki
Community.
We would like to have a committee of up to 5 to help us with the selection
process, so the committee will include people from the User Group,
representatives from the WMF education team and we have 3 spots for people
from the wider EDUWiki community .
If you are interested in being part of the committee, please write us to:
eduwikiug(a)gmail.com. Please *shortly* highlight any *international
experience* you might have that puts you in a good position to be in the
selection committee. The content committee will work throughout June to
finalize the program for our Space.
Best,
Shani.

And one last clarification --
While we do have a theme of UNESCO's SDGs, and it would be good if
submissions relate to it, we also realize that not all stories are able to
tie with the SDGs.
So please submit your stories, learnings and panels anyway. :)
We are now thinking of opening the space with a discussion on Education
and the SDGs, so if we then have sessions that do not touch the SDGs, but
only EDUWiki,
that would be fine as well.
Shani.
