About the Open Education Global Conference

Open Education Global

Education should be open and available for all. It should not be a commodity held for a price or kept by a group with exclusive access. Open Education Global is a worldwide community-focused organisation that seeks to transform education systems everywhere by stewarding a movement toward openness in all aspects of education. OEGlobal is a nonprofit that provides space through events, networks, and platforms to build a global open community of support and practice. Together with our passionate membership, which comprises 245+ institutions and open educators, and our vibrant community, we foster opportunities to co-create and share resources that encourage open solutions to education challenges worldwide.
