[Equity Unbound’s MYFest](https://myfest.equityunbound.org/) is back for its fifth year with a “global open education festival” (that sounds like us!) that takes place online throughout June, July & August 2026. My rule of them is to where ever possible to participate i anything Maha Bali @mahabali is organizing- that rule applies here 😉

_I’m going to be at MYFest, how about you?_
I have been involved with MYFest at some capacity every year and am eager to experience more in 2026. It is a warm and inviting place guided by Equity Unbound’s concept of [Intentionally Equitable Hospitality (IEH)](https://myfest.equityunbound.org/intentionally-equitable-hospitality/). In that ethos participation in MYFest does not have a financial barrier and offers registration through an array of “pay what you can” levels (see [registration](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/myfest26-mid-year-festival-2026-tickets-1988903609235)).
I am hoping to be part of a few sessions exploring the potentials and best ideas for organizing hybrid events, and I hope as well to organize som creativity out of the [DS106 Daily Creates](https://daily.ds106.us/).
> Throughout June, July, and August, MYFest will invite participants to **reimagine future(s)** together. As always, we remain committed to the **global** and **networked** nature of our work, while also deepening our attention to **embodied connection, contemplative practices, and intentional care.** This year’s festival is grounded in the belief that transformation often begins in intimate, everyday spaces rather than through grand gestures alone.
>
> We are guided by the understanding that **socially just care and cultural change are built through countless small interactions and practices.** Small actions shape larger systems. Local interactions ripple outward. The ways we **listen, teach, imagine, support, and show up for one another** ultimately influence our institutions and our **collective life together.**
>
> With this spirit in mind, the following themes will guide our MYFest conversations and gatherings:
>
> - **Community building and collective reflection**
> - **Wellbeing, restoration, and joy**
> - **Contemplative practices for individual and collective care**
> - **Intergenerational learning and connection** ( (bring your family/friends of all ages)
> - **Teaching and learning with imagination**
> - **Critical AI literacies in the age of algorithmic logic**
>
> Join us as we create space for **reflection, experimentation, dialogue, and possibility** together!
Join us for the next exciting workshop/event/conference from blah blah blah. Insert Title of Event with a hyperlink is of interest to blah blah blah who want to blah blah blah.

I hope to see you all there!
My word for the summer is **collaboration**. What is it, and can we do it online?
Best Regards

I’m glad (and was sort of expecting) you would be there, Mark. Your word is one for me too, I want to have some focus on how we collaborate across online and person to person.
I love the “one word” prompt (the old style kind of prompt). I don’t know how to jam it into one word but mine might be **connectionAtHumanScale**
