Mission Statement

The Open 2030 Working Group, comprised of thought leaders and educational innovators and funders, focuses on building educational equity and social justice through Open Educational Resources (OER). While we celebrate 20 years of free access to knowledge through OER content production and OER use, educators still grapple with growing disinformation and social division as well as the lasting legacies of racism and systemic oppression.  What communities and cultural practices around OER can we develop and strengthen in order to achieve justice and equity goals?  How can we create deeper connections and collaboration between OER communities of practice and justice and equity movements?
