Open Education Week (OEWeek) is an annual celebration and opportunity for those working in Open Education to actively share their achievements and learn about what others are achieving worldwide.
OEWeek was launched in 2012 by Open Education Global as a collaborative, community-built open forum. Every year, OEWeek raises awareness and highlights innovative open education successes worldwide. OEWeek provides practitioners, educators, and students with an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of open educational practices and be inspired by the wonderful work being developed by the community around the world.
OEWeek operates as a distributed event. Organizers provide details of their in-person or online events that are published on the OEWeek calendar – each event is displayed on your local date and time. It aims to make visible all of the activity happening globally in support of Open Education. While OEWeek focuses on just the first week of March, you don’t have to stick to that week. We’ll list all activities happening from February through the end of April.
Additionally, we encourage participants to share open assets – celebrating and making visible valuable open resources that educators create and share.
