Together with my OEG colleagues, @marcela and @unatdaly, we have been involved with OE4BW for several years in different roles (mentors, hub coordinators and advisory board members).
Several OEG members, such as @GinoFransman, have also played active roles as project developers, hub coordinators and advisory board members.
I can say that OE4BW is a wonderful opportunity to:
• Gain experience and capacity in open education
• Work on initiatives with a social impact that are aligned with SDGs
• Empower others by sharing expertise as mentors
• Develop management skills as hub coordinators
• Collaborate and Network
• And form meaningful and long-lasting friendships
Earlier this year, we published a paper in PLOS entitled: 10 simple rules for establishing a mentorship programme. It was a collaborative effort with representatives from different mentorship programmes, OE4BW included, that provided recommendations to consider when establishing mentorship programmes. The short case studies that accompany different rules will be of particular interest to provide practical examples. These examples are based on the collective experiences of the involved programmes.
Calls for developers and mentors for 2022/23 are now published.
The deadline for application is 20 November 2022 (23:59 CET).
We are looking forward to many high quality and diverse applicants from all around the world.
