Greetings Dr Munir and thank you for bringing this opportunity with your global forum— I very much would like to seek some mutual ways Open Education Global could collaborate, and we hope you are considering organizing events or activities for March 4-8 Open Education Week.

For your call for stories, perhaps it would help to be more explicit as to what kinds of stories you seek. Are there examples you can share?

Personally this was been a long interest of mine. I’ve been collecting Amazing/True stories of openness since 2009 https://stories.cogdogblog.com and worked with OEGlobal on a similar effort to collect Extraordinary Stories of Responding to the pandemic https://splot.ca/extraordinary

And we have many stories in the people and projects recognized with Open Education Awards for Excellence Awards – OE Awards for Excellence

I’m more than “open” to create connections to your organization

Gratitude for the help and encouragement. I am glad that OEG would like to collaborate and great to learn about your interest in such work. Global Forum for Teacher Educators is a free forum of teachers from 75 countries and the prime objective is to promote free education through webinars, symposiums and conferences. I have been successful in this run. To promote the culture of sharing and open education, I want people to come forward and share stories of their teaching or learning.
