Through our storytelling of recent events in 2023 and 2024, we will demonstrate the power of OER as a tool for cross country collaboration, connection and as support for learning communities in Ukraine. We will invite participants to join our collective story, as we explore ways to support Ukrainian colleagues translating and localizing OER on needed skills training amidst full-scale war.
This demonstration shares a real story of how OER enabled reuse and adaptation across countries enabled by networks, humble funds, and growing friendships. It will also serve as a call to action for audience members to volunteer to support open education in Ukraine, where the need for localized OER is acute.
Our story begins with a local University in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro during the ongoing war. The USUST librarians, staff and faculty were working on an Open Textbooks project. Open Textbooks and OER around specific skills are sorely needed in Ukrainian language.
One librarian, Tetiana Kolesnykova, and her colleagues sought to secure and expand access to open education in Ukrainian, at a national level. They began to collaborate with a European network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL) and networks of open education advocates, including the Creative Commons Open Education Platform. Despite limited funding, the communities found ways to support Ukrainians’ open education efforts.
As a result: Ukrainian librarians successfully executed a project to translate and localize an award winning MOOC on OER into Ukrainian, and to upskill Ukrainian librarians and staff. The MOOC was openly licensed, and the librarians secured limited funds to cover some costs.
This experience enabled new OER in Ukrainian, and also kick-started new collaborations - some of them novel and unexpected - across countries. It demonstrates the promise of open education amidst extreme challenges of wartime and is also applicable in other extreme crisis contexts.
We invite the audience to join us in the next chapter of this story, finding more ways to translate useful OER into Ukrainian.

Our session relates to how open efforts in education are powerful tools for collaboration across communities and borders. Open educational resources are the most efficient way to translate and localize resources in different cultural contexts. But, beyond that, open efforts create newfound possibilities for connection, cross-cultural understanding, and learning.
