EduWiki brings together educators (usually from Higher Education) and the
Wikimedia community to talk about how Wikipedia and its sister projects can
be used to support education. This year's event includes Campus Ambassasdor
training, which is open to educators, students and volunteers. Campus
Ambassadors run or support educational assignments that use Wikipedia,
encouraging students to make and review their own reference materials in
Wikipedia's open platform. For some background reading see this post on the
CILIP blog:

We'll have international visitors from the Wikimedia Foundation and the
Wikimedia Education Collaborative, as well as reports on Wikimedia UK's
partnerships in Scotland and Wales. The enormously positive feedback from
last year's EduWiki can be seen at
