In alignment with Open Education Week 2025, Chaire UNESCO RELIA, UNOE network and the EUniWell European University of Wellbeing, are collaboratively exploring the arguments why people and institutions should opt for Open Education.
To this end, 23 contributors from 13 countries have agreed to contribute an article to justify one of 23 reasons. Throughout the month of March, we will share with you their thoughts on why we should all adopt Open Education.
Each article will be available in several languages. One version in English, and at least one other version in French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Hungarian, Italian or Portuguese.
Latest Published 23 Reasons

You will find articles published across the three web sites:
- 23 Reasons at Chaire UNESCO RELIA
- 23 Reasons at UNOE Network
- 23 Reasons at EUniWell European University of Wellbeing
The most recent articles published to all three sites are automatically updated here an our RSS feed.
You may note multiple versions of the same story as the reasons are being published across three different sites.
For further interaction, we have added every published post as an entry tagged 23-reasons in OEG Connect, each available there for followup discussion.
