According to a European study conducted by Centrum Cyfrowe in 2021, as many as 38% of teachers used educational resources and websites created by GLAM institutions for the purpose of online education. Because these resources have become very popular during the pandemic, there is a great need for advocacy work supporting their further development.

During this session we will discuss how and where we can advocate together for programmes supporting development of GLAM Open Educational Resources. The expected outcome of this session will include a list of concrete actions and steps recommended by participants – advocates, experts and activists – which could help support the development of GLAM Open Educational Resources.

Cultural heritage data is fascinating, both as a subject and a source for research. Digital collections and digital tools are means to foster innovation and therefore they should follow the principles of Open Knowledge. Together with a group of experts we will discuss what conditions are needed to tap into the potential of heritage data for research purposes, also in relation to a rapid growth of artificial intelligence (heritage for AI and AI for heritage). We will elaborate on the importance of international research programmes, cross-border collaborations, also in the context of the need for the same minimum set of rights for research across the world.

Zastanowimy się, jak sprawić, by zasoby edukacyjne były bardziej otwarte i inkluzyjne, znajdziemy też czas na wymianę dobrych praktyk tworzenia otwartych zasobów edukacyjnych.

What needs to be done in the next year or two, so that the education of children with a migration experience is a deliberate system with a vision and implementation strategy, rather than a set of improvised ad hoc activities? And what will be the role of OER in that process?
In this context, the role of GLAM OER is particularly interesting, as it – potentially – can help maintain a vivid contact with the culture of the countries of origin of the migrants. We will also refer to this in the discussion.

During the meeting we will:

1. try to understand the most common challenges related to education of children with migration experience;
2. identify main stakeholders who participate in the creation of future system of migrant/refugee support in education;
3. identify the main areas in education where educational resources make a real difference and help level the playing field;
4. discuss some good practices in using high quality, accessible educational resources in education of children with migration experience;
5. discuss the role of OER (with special focus to GLAM OER) in that process.
