OEWeek Live! Together in Story: A Conversation Among Open Storymakers
Wed March 4, 2026 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm GMT
Join the creators of the award‑winning open picture book Together, funded by GO‑GN, alongside a colleague from Curious Learning, for a friendly conversation among storymakers. We will share the latest developments in an exciting collaboration that is enabling Together to travel to young readers worldwide as an interactive digital book in multiple languages.
The Imaginative Curriculum Research and Scholarship Centre in the School of Education at the University of Leeds embraced Together as its first collaboration with Curious Learning, reflecting a shared commitment to co‑creating open educational resources that cross boundaries and nurture global learning.
In this session, we will tell the story of how we came together, how relationships were formed, and how open storymaking can connect people across languages, cultures, and contexts. Participants are warmly invited to reflect with us on collaborative open storytelling as a way of learning with and from one another and make a positive contribution to the world.
