Having members contribute stories is an excellent idea. I know from experience (with eg. the European Democratic Horizon project a few years ago) that getting members of consortia to contribute to outreach is sometimes like pulling teeth. But it’s worth doing.

This is a valuable example of how evidence-informed and context-responsive educational resources can make a meaningful difference, particularly in crisis and refugee contexts. I strongly agree that openness should go beyond free access to include adaptation, localization, and meaningful knowledge sharing.
This topic also resonates with my own research on refugee education. In a related study, I examined the effectiveness of a health-education-based training program in enhancing health empowerment among refugees in Jordan. It highlighted the importance of context-sensitive educational interventions in supporting refugee communities.

Brilliant initiative. Most open initiatives do not consider the language issue, which can be a barrier for many people, especially in underserved countries. I live in Brazil and that is why I am building an open platform available in 10 languages aimed at training teachers in the use of AI. [https://edukors.org](https://edukors.org).
