From the Director
By Heather Blicher, CCCOER Director, Open Education Global
In February 2025, the Community College Consortium for OER (CCCOER), the North American node of Open Education Global, in collaboration with the European Network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL), a part of SPARC Europe, hosted a webinar that felt different from the start. Rather than a distant account, it offered an unfiltered perspective of an educator living through the realities of war. Resilience and Open Education: Supporting Ukrainian Librarians During Wartime gave us the opportunity to hear directly what that experience looked like beyond the narratives we often see in mainstream media.
