The third track titled OE4BW Marketplace was a round-the-clock event where OE4BW mentors and their guests, as well as other invited speakers presented and discussed a broad variety of open education issues.
OE4BW Exhibition enabled participants to explore OE4BW educational materials developed in the OE4BW international mentoring program.
This event builds upon and extends the scope of the last two successful Open Education Design – Course for Practitioners held in Vipava, Slovenia in 2018 and 2019. It aims at contributing to the implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Educational Resources (OER). At the same time, we believe that it fostered further growth of the OE4BW community, resulting in new collaborations and many new projects with a great impact. When implemeting UN goals of sustainable development, every single step counts. We wish you a lot of success on this way, hoping that you will find the OE4BW 2020 Eduscope as a good source of information and inspiration.
