Dear Open Education Community,

Please see, below, an invitation from our Slovenian colleagues.
---------
The UNESCO Chair on Open Technologies for OER and Open Learning and
the University of Nova Gorica, both Slovenian institutions, are
launching a new, free and international online "Open Education for a
better world" mentoring programme.

The goal of the programme is to connect mentors and students online on
topics pertaining to UN Sustainable Development Goals. We already
received several applications for mentors from all over the world
including UNESCO Chairs for OER.

We welcome applications from participants around the world to join
this innovative program.

Selected candidates will be responsible for designing open e-learning
courses that will unlock potentials and bring benefits to many at no
cost for participants. Applications from all over the world for
courses in different languages are expected.

Selected mentors will assist course developers to design and implement
open e-learning courses and will provide online mentoring to course
participants.

Deadline for applications (course developers and mentors): 10 Nov 2017
Acceptance announcements: 8 December 2017
Start of the programme: 15 January 2018
