Spring 2022 Newsletter

Welcome to Article 26 Backpack’s first newsletter!
Produced by the Article 26 Backpack team at the University of California, Davis, the Article 26 Quarterly Newsletter provides resources, news, and relevant information to Backpackers to support them in protecting their human right to education. This quarter, we have information regarding our newly created Ukrainian and Russian versions of Article 26 Backpack, as well as free language exam and academic credentialing resources.

Article 26 Backpack News
Article 26 Backpack is now available in Ukrainian and Russian, in addition to Arabic, English, Dari (Persian), French, and Spanish. The addition of these languages makes free, safe, and universal document, credential, and research preservation and sharing more accessible for those displaced by Russia's war against Ukraine. We encourage all those engaged in education, research, and human rights advocacy to use Backpack to make certain diplomas, transcripts, creative work, research, and analysis are preserved and available for use globally.

it will help them save some times maybe years or months
 

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'
