Hi Werner,

Subject: [Open-education] OER in Civic Education / Citizenship Competencies

Dear all, best regards from Santiago, Chile.

I am working on a discussion paper to think about Civic Education / Citizenship Competencies development in our societies, marked and changed by the digital sphere.  For shure, openness/open licencing will be a key component, as it blends perfect with participatory and collaborative practices to promote these competencies.  But I haven't met yet OERs, OEPs nor initiatives that explicit openess/open licencing as a key component.  So related to Civic Education / Citizenship Competencies:

  *   any OER or OEP to highlight?
  *   any innovative learning digital technology practice to promote?
  *   any programs being deployed to feature?

Any thoughts about open education/openness and its role within civic and citizenship will be most welcomed!!  Best wishes,

Werner Westermann
