The Open Education Consortium and the University of Cape Town, hosts of the

sessions to take place in Cape Town, South Africa, from 8-10 March 2017. We
are particularly excited to have Cape Town as the venue for the 2017 Open

Town Open Education Declaration, along with the 15 year anniversary of the term Open Educational Resources and the 5 year anniversary of the Paris OER Declaration.

We'll have a lot to celebrate!

The theme of the Open Education Global 2017 Conference is Open for
Participation. In keeping with this theme, we welcome all proposals
concerning taking an open approach in education. This includes formal and
non-formal education; primary, secondary and higher education; open
educational practices, projects, policies, research, collaborations and

2. Call for Proposals to Host the Open Education Global 2018 Conference is Open!

The Open Education Global Conference is the annual opportunity for researchers, practitioners, policy makers, students and educators to deeply explore open education and its impact on global education. Conference participants engage with thought leaders in open education and have the opportunity to share ideas, practices and discuss issues important to the future of education worldwide. The Open Education Global Conference is the largest conference devoted exclusively to open education, attracting participants from more than 30 countries around the world.

Planning a global conference is a long and intensive process, and thus applications for hosting are taken two years in advance. For more information and to submit a proposal please click here. Proposals must be submitted by Monday 31 October 2016.

See you in Cape Town!
