Welcome to Open Education Global Conference!
Thursday November 14, 2024 9:00am - 10:00am AEST


In this presentation, I hope to broaden attendees' perspectives on the transformative power of open. Drawing from my personal journey, I will illustrate how open community science initiatives, digital libraries and archives and the Wikiverse have not only fostered lifelong learning but also facilitated the collaborative creation of knowledge that benefits all. I will delve into the significance of community openness and highlight how attitudes of generosity and inclusiveness have inspired me to engage in knowledge co-creation. I will also explore how community openness can elevate the recognition of Mātauranga Māori (Māori ways of knowing) and how this impacts the sharing of indigenous knowledge. Furthermore, I will examine how embracing openness as a practice can become a fundamental aspect of both personal and professional life. I will share insights on how adopting an open approach has transformed me into a dedicated advocate for openness, how the practice of openness influences project priorities and can enhance the proactive dissemination of knowledge across multiple platforms.
