Open Education Week was launched in 2012 by Open Education Global as a collaborative, community-built open forum. Every year OE Week raises awareness and highlights innovative open education successes worldwide. OE Week provides practitioners, educators, and students with an opportunity to build a greater understanding of open educational practices and be inspired by the wonderful work being developed by the community around the world.
OE Week operates as a distributed event; organizers provide details of their in-person or online events that are published as a calendar with events displayed in your local date/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 in March, the time frame is not a requirement for all events. We aim to list all activities happening from January to the end of March.
Additionally we organize efforts to share open assets that again make visible the open resources that educators create and share.
For 2025, we are asking participants to become active in the OER World Map by creating/reactivating their accounts, associating themselves in the OER World Map with their own organization, Open Education Global, and the OEWeek25 event. In addition, we hope participants will add their own OER related projects, services, programs, policies to the map.
Together we can cover the globe with OER information for all and find connections in our community.
