Open Education Week is an annual celebration of the people and activities that apply open practices to education around the world.

In order to join the celebration, UNESCO is organizing an OER Dynamic Coalition to conduct a stocktaking of implementation at governmental and institutional level in order to highlight best practices that strengthen open practices in education.

Objectives:

The objective is to share the best practices in the implementation of the UNESCO 2019 Recommendation on Open Educational Resources at governmental and institutional level drawing on the datas of the monitoring report that strengthen open practices in education. The session will also highlight the contribution of civil society to the successful implementation of the Recommendation.

Background:

During the 40th session of the UNESCO General Conference in 2019, UNESCO Member States adopted the UNESCO OER Recommendation, the only existing normative instrument in the area of technologies and education, calling on the Member States to undertake  actions in five areas: (i) building capacity of stakeholders to create, access, re-use, adapt and redistribute OER; (ii) developing supportive policy; (iii) encouraging inclusive and equitable quality OER; (iv) nurturing the creation of sustainability models for OER, and (v) facilitating international cooperation.   

The OER Dynamic Coalition was established further to the adoption of the UNESCO OER Recommendation by Member States at the 40th Session of the UNESCO General Conference in November 2019. The objective of the Dynamic Coalition is to support governments in implementing the OER Recommendation by promoting and reinforcing international and regional cooperation among all stakeholders in the first four areas of the UNESCO OER Recommendation.
