Dear colleagues,

On behalf of Geo4All, i would like to wish Happy Open Education Week
to everyone.

This is an opportunity to raise awareness about open education and its
impact on teaching and learning worldwide. Open education encompasses
resources, tools and practices that employ a framework of open sharing
to improve educational access and effectiveness. Participation in all
events and use of all resources are free and open to everyone. Details
at http://www.openeducationweek.org/

We would to like to thank all educators worldwide who have made
contributions to open education efforts and being good global citizens
by helping spread the benefits of education to all. This is also an
opportunity for us to thank all our colleagues in Geo for All for
their excellent contributions to Open Education principles in the Geo
domain.

Central to Geo for All mission is the belief that knowledge is a
public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great
opportunities for everyone. Though the members of our community hail
from many different backgrounds, we all seek to eliminate the digital
divide and empower all as full citizens and contribute to building up
Open Knowledge for the benefit of the whole society and for our future
generations. Education and empowerment are key for getting rid of
extreme poverty and help create digital economy opportunities also for
billions of our economically poor brothers and sisters across our home
planet .So let us all work together to enable open principles in
education to help create a world that is more accessible, equitable
and full of innovation and opportunities for everyone.

Happy Open Education Week  everyone  http://www.openeducationweek.org/

Best wishes,

Suchith Anand
