Question 347 (GR12)

The Wikimedia Foundation is interested in partnering with a broader category of educational institutions (schools, universities, academies, think tanks, etc). These partnerships may allow us to find opportunities to bring new readers to Wikipedia, especially students who have never heard of it.

Educational institutions are able to distribute the freely available content on the Wikimedia projects. They can distribute content in their classrooms and communities. These partnerships could help strengthen the ongoing Wikipedia Education Programs (WEPs) around the world. We would work hand-in-hand with WEPs in these partnership.

Do you support or oppose this kind of partnership?
