Hi, Nick Sheppard, Thank you very much for this short but intense meeting on an important topic for Ukrainians, how to realize yourself in interesting open knowledge projects. As you know, in Ukraine, as a result of the Russian war against our country, Russia's aggression against civilians, there are many people with disabilities. Most of them have higher education or academic degrees, but they are physically injured and have limited mobility. This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people. But these people want to be active and useful. That's why librarians at the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies (USUST) began to think and plan how to involve people with disabilities in such a socially useful project as filling Wikipedia pages (in Ukrainian) as OER. Several USUST librarians have been trained and certified as content creators. So far, the topics of the pages they created relate to the history of the University, as well as the personalities of scientists and prominent personalities who have made significant contributions to the development of all institutes, faculties, and scientific schools. We will continue to consider your practices with great interest and gratitude
Dear Paola, Marta, Kamila, Peter and all the fellow members of the ENOEL community. These are great events, especially for Ukrainians. This is actually the only opportunity for us to learn from the practical experience of colleagues who already have a lot of experience! Thank you! We are moving along the path you have laid out (but taking into account the peculiarities of Ukrainian realities). Sincerely, Tetiana Kolesnikova (Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Ukraine)
Thanks a lot, Tetiana! Good to hear that what we offer is helpful for your community, and thanks for your feedback. Please let us know how it goes and if there is anything you would suggest as an additional topic. There is always room to consider adding new workshops to the series! (Paola)
That's great! Thanks to Sylvia Moes, Mira Buist-Zhuk, and Lambert Heller for the professional and accessible presentation of the open textbook report. I thank the tireless and creative Paola Corti for her ability to organize the community and the first ENOEL workshop. My Ukrainian colleagues and I will be analyzing your presentations and answering questions about the citations.
Thank you so much Kris. For me, as a beginner, your stories about different aspects of inclusion in OER are always interesting (even if I used the automatic Google translator😊). Tetiana Kolesnykova, Dnipro, Ukraine
