 مرحباً جميعاً. مرحباً بكم في قناة. my name is Arin Aburman and my partner is ... I'm Musab Banat. I established education program in Jordan 2015 and also we both established the Jordanian digital Arabic content association that we will tell you in the next slide about it. Also I'm co-founder of the association. This association is a unique and one of the first association that specialized in the digital Arabic content in Jordan and the Arab world. Yes and also it belongs to the Ministry of Culture. It aims to increase digital Arabic content and to support Arabic language, our mother tongue and also to increase our ... to expand our work to the universities and schools. This is the logo and you can find some information about us. We abbreviate it as JADASA. This is a picture of the team. The team is as any organization content chair which is me and a vice chair Arin and we have a treasurer and a secretary and other three board members. Welcome to our BKBD education program for primary and secondary schools in Jordan where we empower the young girls to with knowledge and digital skills and transform them from learners to contributors. Exactly. So our objectives of our program is to provide introduction to the online resources to introduce primary school girls to online resources to teach them how to access and navigate information and how to edit Wikipedia for sure. And also we give them basic research skills because in Wikipedia usually we cite every sentence or every paragraph with that source. So we teach them the basic skills of research and how to gather information how to find reliable source and how to increase the credibility of the articles. Also we try to choose age convenient content in that we are talking about the primary school girls usually we choose very simple articles like colors, like numbers there are numbers and colors that are not in Arabic Wikipedia we give them to the students they have their supervisor that help them to translate and direct their efforts. Also we aim from our program to empower them and to bridge the agenda of GAB because this is a rhyme in school girls we want to empower girls to give them to contribute to Wikipedia because we always know that there is a gap between articles about women and articles or women participation and also male participation. Also we aim to provide collaborative learning to promote collaboration among girls engaging them in the projects and also to provide them with many experiences. As you might know also Wikipedia encouraged critical thinking so one of the skills that we teach our school girls is the development of critical thinking and giving them the chance to ask questions to analyze and also to interact with each other. Also we want them to engage in the community by introducing Wikipedia to them in that little age if we go to them after 3-4 years 5 years then they have idea about Wikipedia we implant this stub in their minds a stub of Wiki stub in their minds then when we go to them later on it's easier to teach them how to contribute effectively in Wikipedia and also for of course at this little age building confidence and self esteem has a major rule and we will show you next in the photos how they are influenced by our program So why Wikipedia as all of you know Wikipedia is a platform for global contribution wherever you are you can contribute and because it is offered access to vast knowledge resources learning through creating and editing content also posting confidence and digital confidence Okay also as you know school always about curriculum so we try to introduce Wikipedia and to make Wikipedia part of the curriculum and also editing Wikipedia article which is supported in our program as a participation for assessment of the teacher to the students in that we encourage students to explore their area of interest usually are very very basic concepts and also we try to to tell them how to collaborate with their beers Okay The benefits of our program is that it enhanced research skills it improve writing and communication abilities and there is an enhancement of a level of education by introducing Wikipedia to it also it is opportunity to contribute in the global community this give a value for our students and also self esteem and empowerment of the girls there is also a long term back because their skill they are acquiring in this in our program they will be used in the future when they contribute to Wikipedia again overall education program in primary schools in Jordan offers range of benefits also it supports academic progress and also digital growth of our students Program Implementation First of all we do teacher training then we make workshops for students to learn them to teach them how to edit Wikipedia and basics about Wikipedia and how to edit then we provide them with online resources and make some tutorials also after this stage this step we make regular monitoring with the teachers and offer them the support after in the final stage we make them engage with the community and other schools and make competition so encouraging diversity by encouraging school girls we have a diverse range of contribution because usually our main work was as a wiki club that I founded in 2015 that aims to increase Arabic content inside university so our main students were university students now we are going to primary and secondary schools so we encourage diversity we include topics in particular interest to the girls we ask them to go we give them category like general category they find what they love to translate and by this we address the gender gap by us and also we encourage balancing the representation of women in Wikipedia also we encourage parental involvement and I will move this to Arine the parent support is very important especially for girls if your parents support you and you feel that they are confident have a confidence of you it encourages you to learn more and create more articles so in our program we give a special special thanks and appreciate for parents in our association after the students as you see we publish their articles we publish the article on our association and right in Arabic it said in Arabic article from then by by Tala from the sixth grade so when we share it on Facebook their parents and someone share it on their Facebook pages and it encouraged them we notice the number of articles increased yes because it is kind of encouragement because these photos that you see is shared by their parents they give it to us, please post about us and then it start to be competitive between between students they want to be presented and they want to be shared and they want their relatives and beers to see what they contribute so our achievement is that we have engaging two private schools in Jordan and one governmental school and there is some particular thing about this governmental school that I will tell you in the coming slide we have created MOU with one of the prestigious universities it is called Al-Umaria school called Al-Umaria school it's a private school that has two branches one in the capital Amman and one in the Zarka it's mainly for girls and we had collaboration with this school we reached more than 60 students most of them are primary secondary school we created 200 different articles by those students and they are editing more than 500 articles so this is an overview about our partnership Areen, can you handle this yeah the Ammaria school for girls is a private school our hero monitor is Amani Zaiter another one private school ohad school it's our monitor and the governmental school our hero monitor is Hana Zaiter yes so the middle one is the governmental school Amani Zaiter and Hana Zaiter are our sisters we started with Amani and then it comes viral her sister would like to move it to the governmental school then we are like now working with two of them and this is the assigning of memorandum محمد القنة our wikipedia part of our association represents us in this signing memorandum of understanding and this is some photos from our participation with Omeria school you can see the certificates that has wikipedia logo Hashemite university logo our club logo and you can see the association logo in the background this is the Omeria private school that we told you about this is also in the ceremony of the Omeria school you can see the students and me and Arian also this is also part of the photos from the ceremony and if possible can you open the links the students are talking about their experience we want to show you hi my name is سايرا أسفور I participated in wikipedia competition to translate articles that is organized by the digital arabic content club initially I created a wikipedia account then I started picking the articles that I wanted to translate and since then I started translating them I have translated around 30 articles translating articles in this manner typically required a time of approximately 15 to 30 minutes the percentage of article and the internet was interpreted by the entity ultimately this campaign proved to be highly beneficial for both my self for my vocabulary and for my ability to expand my knowledge as well as for teaching me how to sign up and how to publish my material thank you all one please thank you thank you very much hello my name is I am from Omeria school and today I am going to talk about the alternative of translating articles our creative educator has put forward an alternative to translate articles from english with the goal of enriching the Arabic content and he taught us the basics and how to edit and publish our articles on the internet and we as Arabs we face a serious problem of the lack of websites in Arabic so this alternative has helped us to separate the Arabic knowledge and the Arabic culture and thanks for listening the next one please welcome to the conference of the best online encyclopedia in the world and until the next one I will soon start my journey at Omeria school and would like to present to you one of our most honorable achievements of this year which is translating Wikipedia's English articles that aren't translated yet into Arabic it all started when I saw a post on my school's page on Facebook talking about this whole thing I immediately knew this wouldn't be a chance that I will turn down so I started with booking my first articles to trying to translate as many of them as I could it isn't a competition between students but it makes you feel so when somebody reads you with a number of articles they have read with all the cheering from our teacher Mr. Manizated you know you couldn't stop competing besides improving your skills at both languages it's also the feeling of you becoming a member of Wikipedia moreover translating an article from one language to another for the upcoming generations makes your own name becomes a thing not around here this would be achieved today now you would see me now if it wasn't for teacher Manizated who cheered us the most helped us a lot checking in with us on every single article we finished taking our hands on every single step of the ladder of success she built arranged for me to be here now and who was is and will always be there for us thank you Mr. Manizated and thank you Wikipedia so as a conclusion our Wikipedia education program is a unique opportunity for primary school girls to excel, learn and make positive impact together we can empower the next generation of confident knowledgeable and digitally skilled girls you can find here my contacts you can find our social media pages that you can reach out and also you can see the pictures photos of the school girls thank you very much and the last thing that I want to mention thank you the last thing that I want to mention is a nice fact yesterday as some of my Arab friends know there was announcement of the 12th grade GPA which is like the finance step before going to university one of the students that were translating of us the photo just came yesterday so that I cannot present now but I can show it after the presentation she got the first rank all over the country she had like 99.8 she is participating with us yeah thank you very much if anyone have a question yes please raise your hand okay so I am working on the education in my country and also working in other places so I have three short questions the first one is when we work with students the students edit Wikipedia articles the quality is an issue so what are the it is in Arabic Wikipedia right so what are the community perspective towards this like the quality of the articles created by these primary school students and how do you maintain it there is the first one second one is they want to do these types of education programs they do low awareness about the countries the education institutions and teachers are very much reluctant at first so how do you tackle it because the situation is very much different from our South Asia and Middle East and the third question is since you are working with very young children safety is always an issue because Wikipedia is an open place how do you ensure safety with these young people do you have any special plan with that okay thank you for the question if I remember it correct it was about the quality of the articles okay quality of the articles is always an issue in all Wikipedia versions so for for this particular question the thing that we are trying to do is that two steps of quality assurance the first one is that we try to use the very very basic concept when giving articles together as I told you usually there are numbers because you know there is a wide range of numbers that is not articles on Arabic Wikipedia also there is about colors so usually it's very very basic concepts this is the first thing that we do also their instructor is actually has a master degree in biology she is very well qualified but because of lack of jobs in my country she is working at Brammer school so she is reviewing their articles and there is a third layer of review which is our part we review articles in Wikipedia before publishing this is how we can manage that quality but still you know when it is like sometimes it's we are talking now about Brammer schools we have also university school university history students so sometimes there is some you know some articles that can like that come through without very good quality review but this is not a big percentage of our education program for the second question which is like if I remember correct it was about the safety issue so that's why we encourage parental support and parental let's say monitor ship because they monitor what kind of articles the students are translating what is the extent of engagement in their online activities also they have their instructor as I told which also she is very careful this is a private school the private school also have very good administration give the best practice to the girls so in general we didn't think safety is an issue because even in our club we try to take the articles from their parents or the photo from their parents or the university administration not direct contact with the students for the third question you told me how we tackle the problems like with the university this is the longest story but to make the short story shorter it is that we approached this it was a long approach since 2015 I was speaking with the professors in my university until 2020 when I graduated then I established this association so it was a long journey I started convincing teachers starting convincing professors and also talking in the classrooms then the university administration got to to be persuaded by my thoughts and then they invited me to the dean council I gave a talk I got a decision from dean council to public to make my initiative public all over the university faculties around 18 faculties and then I invited the chief executive director of wikimide foundation Catherine Meyer she came to my university we signed a memorandum of understanding between wikimide foundation and Hashimite university in Jordan and it's actually will be expired by next October so we are thinking of renewing it in order to preserve our work because it is a common thing that in our part of the world if the administration of the university changes then the previous projects will be stopped that's why you don't want our projects to be stopped we want it to be expand I hope answer the question thank you very much for attending
