Our mission
Our mission
We aim to map OER initiatives around the world to facilitate the expansion of knowledge and the exchange of information, experience and data between individuals and communities.
We believe that Open Education has the potential to enhance education for all, to foster democratic participation, sustainable development and social justice. Helping others to open and transform education, its institutions, practices and resources is what gets us going every morning.

Or find tools to create and share your one work. Find events and projects to increase your knowledge or search for a specific project in a certain geographic area, a research field, or an educational sector.
Make your own work visible
Share your own work as an open educator, researcher or policy maker and make your services, tools or events more visible or let others discover your project websites. Add information on people, organisations or networks to enable knowledge graphs. Others will be able to look you up and learn from what you have been working on.
