In 2021, the\u00a0Open Education Awards for Excellence<\/a>\u00a0celebrates its 10th anniversary.<\/p>\n

Every year for ten years, Open Education Global has recognized the brilliance within the Open Education sector through its\u00a0Open Education Awards for Excellence. The winners of these awards represent works that encapsulate the aspirations of the movement, further inspire outstanding achievements, and add immeasurably to the shared wealth of the open education community.<\/p>\n

To celebrate this milestone, the OEG will host an online event on December 7th<\/sup>. The occasion will be a special look back at the\u00a0outstanding achievements of the open education community in the last decade.<\/p>\n

As a past winner of two special awards, OEG\u00a0 invited Dr. Okada – representing Rumpus – to be part of the celebration.<\/p>\n

These awards were very important for the network led by Dr Okada in Brazil, UK and other European countries to support research-based practices and evidence-based policy on open education enhanced by Responsible Research and Innovation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The network has just started another large European-funded project \u2013 CONNECT \u2013 inclusive open schooling with engaging and future-oriented sciences with a large number of teachers and students in seven countries. Participants of CONNECT phase 1\u00a0 were more than 100 teachers and 1500 students from the UK, Brazil, Spain Greece, and Romania.<\/span><\/p>\n

CONNECT team has developed a topical open schooling resource CARBON NEUTRAL launched during COP26 in the UK.\u00a0 The aim of this OER is to help teachers to guide students to voice their views and develop competencies with scientific literacy.
