Individual Membership

Open Education Global (OEGlobal) is a global, member-based organization that builds, supports, and advances a community of open education practitioners and their initiatives worldwide. We bring those engaged in open education together to learn from each other and partner on improving and advocating for open education globally.

The individual membership is a new offering. Until 2022, OEGlobal exclusively offered institutional memberships. We are excited to be able to invite open educators to join us!
