Purpose

The country page is a national node for WikiEducator related activities in a given country. The country page is a place:

• to list and coordinate national WikiEducator initiatives;
• to foster and promote local identity within a global community;
• for local WikiEducators to meet and identify themselves;
• for national sub-teams to convene within a given country;

Guidelines

• There are no prescribed procedures or regulations for organising country nodes;
• There is no limit to the number of national WikiEducator teams that may constitute themselves - as a wiki community we encourage diversity and respect the interests of different groups. National teams and sub-teams may congregate around a wide range of shared objectives by sector, level, interest group etc. Ideally, each national sub-team should link to the relevant page for their country;
• We encourage each country to develop their own structures and procedures to promote sustainable growth of the WikiEducator community in their respective country;
• We recommend that national volunteers identify and assign specific roles for maintaining and promoting their country pages, for example:
  • A national convenor for setting up an maintaining the country page on a regular basis;
  • National WikiEducator Ambassadors;
  • A national reporter for keeping national news up to date on your country page;
  • A technical advisor to assist innovative wiki page layouts for your national page;
  • Other roles as required
  • National cultural allegiance to Global Citizenship. see User page of Dr.Ramakrishnan,India.[[1]]
