Upcoming Webinar - Resilience and Open Education: Supporting Ukrainian Librarians During Wartime

Join us for a personal and thought-provoking session featuring Dr. Tetiana Kolesnykova, Director of the Scientific Library with the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies (Ukraine), with live translation by Mira Buist-Zhuk, Academic Information Specialist with the University of Groningen Library (Netherlands). Both are members of the European Network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL). Discover how librarians in Ukraine are using open education as a tool to stay connected with the world and support their communities during the ongoing war. This session will focus on Tetiana’s experiences, the resilience of her colleagues, and how collaborative, practical solutions can make a difference.

Expect a conversation about the evolving challenges Ukrainian librarians face in their daily lives, with opportunities to share ideas and understand the cultural nuances of offering meaningful support.

I cannot recommend more attending this webinar. Tetiana and the ENOEL librarians were recognized in 2022 with an Open Education Award for Excellence in the Open Resilience category.

We were fortunate during Open Education Week 2023 to record an OEG Voices podcast with @Tetiana and @Paola and translator extraordinaire @Mira

We were introduced here in OEG Connect to Tetiana in June 2022 via a message from Paola plus a later shared translated letter “Open Education developments in Ukraine in times of crisis: A librarian’s perspective”

Without a doubt, this experience and learning what the open educators in and around Ukraine have done and continue to do is one of the most inspiring stories I have heard in my career.

Again, make plans to tune into this CCCOER webinar.
