The education team endeavors to fulfill the Wikimedia movement's strategy direction by working to build a generation of multiliterate people that understand how to both consume and contribute to open knowledge, creating a world where knowledge is available and equitable for everyone.
The Education Team strives to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to participate in the Wikimedia movement as both consumers and contributors to open knowledge. That’s why we value inclusion. Living this value means prioritizing work that facilitates participation for people who are currently left out for various reasons.
The work we do will inevitably impact future generations. Living this value means prioritizing work that ensures that future generations have the skills they need to participate in our movement, and also that the content available to them better reflects the diversity of knowledge in the world.
