Our Mission

From 2nd to 6th March 2026, the global open education community comes together for Open Education Week (OE Week), an annual celebration spotlighting the power of openness. As part of this global celebration, the 2026 Open Education Week Virtual Summit – hosted by the African Library and Information Associations and Institutions (AfLIA) in partnership with OER Africa – will take place online on 3rd and 4th March 2026 under the theme Open Education, Open Possibilities.

OER Africa’s Open Education Tutorials are short, practical, and engaging learning modules designed to support continuous professional development for anyone interested in open education. Whether you’re new to Open Educational Resources or are looking to deepen your practice, these tutorials provide clear guidance that you can apply immediately.

As we turn our focus to 2026, OER Africa reflects on a year marked by growth and deepening partnerships across the continent. Our work has continued to champion open educational practices and strengthen the capacity of African institutions to engage meaningfully in the global open education movement.
