Hello friends,
May was a quieter month for the team – meetings, planning, and preparation for a full programme in June. Here is a summary of what is under way.
Global Education Time
Amy met with teachers on the Global Education Time programme to plan a collaboration. Wikipedia editing training with those teachers is scheduled to begin in September.
Wiki Loves Earth 2026
A Vicipéid editing project is running as part of Wiki Loves Earth 2026, alongside a photo competition open across Ireland and Northern Ireland. If you have photos of natural places in Ireland, you are welcome to upload them to Wikimedia Commons.
