Exchange on the UNESCO World Congress on Open Educational Resources from 9-20 November 2024

[edit | edit source]

Description

[edit | edit source]

The third UNESCO World Congress on Open Educational Resources (OER) will take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from 19-20 November 2024. One of the main topics will be OER in the context of generative artificial intelligence (AI).

Representatives from education policy, science, business and civil society from all over the world will gather to discuss educational materials under open licences. The theme of this year's congress is ‘Digital Public Goods: Open Solutions for Inclusive Access to Knowledge’. Discussions will focus on the challenges and opportunities of new technologies, in particular the role of generative artificial intelligence. The aim is to develop concrete political recommendations for action, which will be set out in the conference's final document.

As Wikimedia Deutschland might be able to take part in this conference, I would like to use Wikimania to meet with people interested in OER and genAI and bringing together ideas, recommendations and wishes relating to OER and the Wikimedia projects for the World Congress.
