SUMMARY:AfLIA Open Education Week Virtual Summit
DESCRIPTION:The African Library and Information Associations and Institutions (AfLIA)\, in collaboration with OER Africa\, is pleased to announce the 2026 AfLIA Open Education Week Virtual Summit\, scheduled for 3–4 March 2026. The virtual summit will convene librarians\, educators\, researchers\, policymakers\, and other stakeholders to explore how Open Education can expand access\, improve equity\, and transform learning outcomes across Africa. \nTheme: Open Education\, Open Possibilities\nOpen Education is reshaping the global learning landscape by expanding access to open educational resources and practices. It creates new pathways for inclusive\, quality\, and equitable education. This is particularly important for Africa\, which has the world’s youngest population\, with over 60 percent under the age of 25 and a median age of 19. Many young people and adult learners still face significant barriers to education due to inadequate resources and persistent equity gaps. Open Education presents an opportunity to address these challenges and to support Africa’s transformation into a global knowledge and innovation powerhouse. \nAfLIA strongly believes that African libraries have critical roles to play in bridging digital and resource gaps. Library professionals possess expertise in technology\, copyright\, and licensing\, positioning them as key partners in advancing Open Education. The 2026 virtual summit seeks to bring together stakeholders to share research\, case studies\, emerging models\, and visionary ideas that demonstrate how Open Education can enable transformative\, inclusive\, and equitable education across the continent. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Stronger Together: The Network of Open Organizations
DESCRIPTION:The Network of Open Organizations is a global alliance of diverse institutions and leaders committed to expanding open education and access to knowledge worldwide. Launched in 2019 and coordinated by Open Education Global\, the Network brings together educational institutions\, NGOs\, inter-governmental bodies\, and other open advocates to collaborate on shared goals\, including supporting the implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Educational Resources (OER) and advancing broader open education initiatives worldwide. By fostering ongoing dialogue\, mutual support\, and coordinated action\, the Network helps amplify collective efforts\, share best practices\, and align global\, regional\, and local strategies for openness in education and beyond. \nAt its core\, the Network serves as a learning and collaboration hub—a space where members exchange insights\, and also seek to co-develop initiatives\, and engage with complex challenges that no single organisation could address alone. \nThe Network of Open Organizations meets online on the first Tuesday of each month. Join us for the session during Open Education Week on Tuesday\, 3 March from 5:30 pm until 6:30 Paris time to engage with selected representatives of the Network of Open Organizations members\, learn about the network activities and future intentions and information on how to join.
