What is Education Collaboration?

The Wikipedia Education Collaborative (or Collab) is a network of international education program leaders who volunteer to share their expertise and experience to support other education programs in achieving their goals. Collaborative members mentor interested volunteers around the world who wish to do educational outreach or pilot an education program. The Collaborative informs, supports and recognizes Wikimedia education initiatives and programs throughout the Wikimedia movement. Collaborative members also represent Wikimedia education initiatives to the wider Wikimedia community and to the education community.
