The Open for Antiracism (OFAR) program that CCCOER is working on inspires me. We’re in our 3rd year, and each year the participant showcases on how they used OER and open pedagogy to make their courses antiracist are amazing and can be found at [Classroom Action – CCCOER](https://www.cccoer.org/ofar/classroom-action/)

The 6-week course that participants go through is itself an OER - self-paced and facilitated versions are both available [Learning Community – CCCOER](https://www.cccoer.org/ofar/learning-community/)

From UNESCO

[https://www.unesco.org/en/articles/driving-global-movement-transform-education-key-moments-2022](https://www.unesco.org/en/articles/driving-global-movement-transform-education-key-moments-2022)

> The United Nations Secretary-General convened the [Transforming Education Summit](https://www.un.org/en/transforming-education-summit) in September in New York to rally world leaders and put education at the top of the political agenda. Youth advocates were involved throughout the process leading to the Summit and adopted the [Youth Declaration](https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/2022/09/tes_youthdeclaration_en.pdf) on their common vision for transforming education.

UNESCO wants to transform education through three aims connected, inclusive and green with initiatives for

- Getting every learner climate-ready
- Expanding public digital learning
- Fast-tracking gender equality in education
- Improving access for crisis-affected children and youth

Perhaps of most interest here is the [Global Initiative on Public Digital Learning](https://www.unesco.org/en/education/digital/need-know) – how do you see your open education efforts aligning with this?

Welp, the usual “how can I figure out how to get out of the margins and collaborate to build math for adults?” stuff, with a New Years’ Resolution (or maybe next week) to start building something at [oercommons.org](http://oercommons.org)

Just out from OEGlobal member CUNY, [Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy](https://cuny.manifoldapp.org/journals/jitp), no. 21 with a Issue on the theme of … Open Educational Resources

> We are especially proud to publish this OER special issue on CUNY’s Manifold instance. [Manifold](https://manifoldapp.org/), developed by the CUNY Graduate Center in partnership with The University of Minnesota Press and the development firm Cast Iron Coding, represents a new approach to OER publishing that we believe JITP’s audience will appreciate.

James Glapa-Grossklag and I were honored to have our [Open for Antiracism: Supporting Educators to Use Open Education for Antiracist Teaching](https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/JME-02-2022-0020/full/html) article written in collaboration with the amazing research team at the RP Group included in a special issue of the Journal of Multicultural Education. This case study documents the findings and future direction of the Open for Antiracism faculty development program launched in 2020 with generous support from the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation.

Stacy Katz and Jennifer Van Allen, co-editors, announced the publication of the Special Issue of the Journal for Multicultural Education on The Intersections of Open Educational Practices and Equity Pedagogy this fall. In this special issue, they sought to further the discussion with a focus on pedagogical considerations and practical applications of equitable OEP, adding to the current dialogue and critical questions posed by scholars around the world. You can read more about the history and motivation in the feature piece, [Open with intention: situating equity pedagogy within open education to advance social justice](https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/JME-07-2022-0089/full/html), as well as ongoing conversations and challenges. “Our hope is that others will continue this conversation and we have provided the development to be transparent and to help others replicate and improve upon this process.”

Late to this, but 2022 was a big year for us at BCcampus as it marked the 10th anniversary of the B.C Open Textbook project & we celebrated all year long with [numerous events](https://bccampus.ca/2022/07/06/celebrating-together-10-years-of-open-textbooks-in-b-c/) and the launch of a [new open collection](https://collection.bccampus.ca/) site.
