Abstract
My presentation is from a perspective of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that develops open source campaigns for social good. I will show how open source campaigns should and often are considered a part of OER, what is their potential in educating students and learners of all ages, and how they facilitate international cooperation. I bring to the conference experience of developing multiple open source campaigns that use elements of game design to create attractive and appealing campaigns that highlight social issues and attract a wide audience. In our work we closely collaborate with schools and educators as well as with similar organisations internationally. Our games, platforms and tools are used by teachers to enhance their classroom experience, and are adapted by our international counterparts.Keywords
