OE Café #11 Pass the OE Expert Baton: Reward and recognition for professional development in Open Educational Resources (OER)
Thu March 5, 2026 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm GMT
The 11th Open Education Café brings together seven diverse perspectives from Europe, Africa, and the Americas on how reward and recognition systems can support and strengthen the creation, use, and sharing of Open Educational Resources (OER).
Expert guests include Lilia Cheniti (Université de Sousse, Tunisia), Claudia Hackl (University of Vienna, Austria), Sémonique Harry (St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College, St. Vincent and the Grenadines), Vincent Nyirigira (Rwanda Basic Education Board, Rwanda), Marijn Post (HAN University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands), and Zeynep Varoglu (UNESCO), and the session will be facilitated by Paola Corti (SPARC Europe).
The Open Education Café series has hosted discussions on key issues for open education, arranged around the UNESCO Recommendation on OER and the five areas of action, since 2022.
SPARC Europe and the European Network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL) have organised this event in collaboration with UNESCO. Together with UNESCO, SPARC Europe warmly welcomes exchange and dialogue on one of the most important topics for the future of Open Education.
