[seedig] Fwd: Public Consultation on SEEDIG 2020 Draft Program

[Narine Khachatryan]

Dear all,

Hope you are safe and well,

This is an invitation to everyone interested in education related matters
to join the org-team of the EuroDIG Workshop 10, in frames of which we have
started discussing the t*opic of **Education in times of crisis:*

https://eurodigwiki.org/wiki/WS_10_2020

We have proposed to include the Education Focus to SEEDIG program as well,
and the Program Committee communicated yesterday about their agreement to
integrate the Digital Education track into the Day 0, (Sept. 21) of the
upcoming SEEDIG 6.

With this letter I wish to invite everyone, who have interest in education
and issues inter-twinned with education (see them highlighted in the
proposal below) to

1) join/subscribe to the EuroDIG education workshop (10),

2) stay tuned for the relevant efforts at SEEDIG.

Best regards,

Narine
