Sharing… 16 challenges for 2026

In 2025, with the help of our friends at Unesco Chair RELIA and the European University of Wellbeing EUniWell, we identified 23 good reasons in favour of open education. We then put out a call for contributions and “recruited” authors from 13 countries. In March 2025, we published their contributions… 23 articles in 8 languages!

This year, sharing is our guiding thread.

All educators and teachers will choose to define what they do with the verb “to share”. And yet, when we look more closely, this sharing is often very limited.

This time, we have identified 16 obstacles or challenges to sharing: some are real and may be linked to a lack of technological or legal skills. Others are linked to our own limitations, fears and desires. However, in 2026, we need to share better, so understanding what is holding us back and gathering ideas and solutions from all continents is one way forward…

As last year, we put out a call for contributions and quickly found volunteers. There are now 27 of them, representing 15 countries in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe. We are especially happy to have 6 contributions from UNOE partners.
