Open Education Week is a celebration of the global Open Education Movement. Its goal is to raise awareness about the movement and its impact on teaching and learning worldwide, the free and open educational opportunities that exist for everyone, everywhere, right now.

With the success of previous years’ Open Education Weeks in the background, EDEN once again organised a very successful online event this March. The high online attendance and exceptional webinar sessions were truly inspiring to experience.

This year 5 webinars with 370 registered participants were held. The participants came from 38 different countries including 16 countries from outside Europe from Canada to Argentina, from South Africa to Australia, encompassing all continents and demonstrating a strong geographical coverage and a substantial outreach.

Altogether 28 facilitators contributed to the successful implementation of the ambitious programme, among them representatives of UNESCO, ICDE and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. EDEN thanks the valuable contribution of the facilitators and trusts that the initiative contributed to the European dialogue about the state and the future of Open Education.

All participants and facilitators received EDEN open badges for their contribution. Presenters’ slides can be viewed on EDEN’s SlideShare page.

During the Open Education Week, EDEN offered the following online events:
