OE Global 2018

This action lab will first briefly introduce Open Government Partnership (OGP) and its process, how it enables development of open education policies and what has been accomplished so far in countries around the world (including the latest developments).

Participants will then dive into designing specific policies (or government commitments), with a focus on international collaboration. The facilitators will introduce specific resources both for those who are new to work with the OGP as well as those who want to bring their current involvement to the next level (e.g., strategies for engaging the government and the civil society, existing international organizations and networks of civil society stakeholders, and so on).

OGP has recently become a powerful avenue for introducing open education policies and mainstreaming them. This Action Lab led by experienced OGP practitioners will equip the participants with the knowledge of the OGP process and specific steps how they can get involved, with a focus on international collaboration, which offers great potential for sharing open educational resources as well as expertise.
