Such a very fine list of candidates. Congratulations to all.
I am honored to be a candidate for the OEGlobal Board of Directors 2026, representing Palestine and the wider Arab/MENA region.
My vision is to support open education as a pathway to equity, inclusion, and resilience, especially for learners and educators in marginalized and crisis-affected contexts. I am particularly interested in advancing responsible AI in open education, strengthening OER/OEP capacity, and increasing the voice of underrepresented regions within OEGlobal.
I would be grateful to hear your questions, ideas, and expectations from candidates. I believe this discussion is an important opportunity to listen, learn, and build together.
Best wishes to all candidates and sincere thanks to the OEGlobal community
It is a powerful slate of candidates, and we are impressed that a number of our Advocate members have stepped forward to be on the board.
Here is the place for anyone to ask questions and like @Mahmoud candidates to make a “campaign” pitch.
In addition to my vision, I would like to share a few of my contributions to the Open Education community:
- Led the UNESCO-funded OER SMART Project, promoting Open Educational Resources (OER) adoption and capacity building across Palestine and Jordan. UNESCO OER SMART Project Video
- Invited as an expert by UNESCO to contribute to regional OER initiatives and capacity-building activities.
- Teach the Open Educational Resources (OER) course in the Master’s Program in Educational Technology and E-Learning at Al-Quds Open University.
I look forward to collaborating with the OEGlobal community to further strengthen open education worldwide.
