That's a wrap on Open Education Week 2026 — and what a global moment it was. 273 events. 146 organizers (including 86 OEGlobal Members). 24 campaigns. 134 freely licensed assets were added to the open commons. 11 OEWeek Ambassadors contributing 34 Sharebacks across the network. The numbers matter — but the real stories lie in the people behind each event, each interaction, each shared OER. Educators who turned a classroom into a workshop. Librarians who curated resources late into the night. Students who created their first OER. Members who hosted hybrid sessions across continents and time zones. Thank you to everyone who showed up — whether you ran a campus-wide event, shared a single asset, joined a discussion, read an article, or joined an event. We've collected the highlights, the numbers, and the moments worth reliving in our closing blog post — including a spotlight on the first cohort of OEWeek Ambassadors who helped extend the week's reach far beyond what any single channel could achieve. Tag someone whose contribution to open education inspired you this year — let's keep the gratitude flowing. #OpenEducation #OEWeek26 #OER #OEWeekAmbassadors #OpenAccess #HigherEducation
