Global Advocacy Campaign
Through the Global Advocacy Campaign, ICDE enables members to collaborate in promoting Open, Flexible and Distance Learning (OFDL) on the international stage.
Campaign framework
What do we want to change?
ICDE members across the globe are taking a leading role in the Global Advocacy Campaign.
Together, we are calling for positive change within OFDL on:
- Collaboration and quality
- Valuing student voices
- The role of technology
- Guidance for Policy Makers
- Open Educational Resources (OER)
What would we like to do?
- Empower our members to join forces and advocate together in their regions with a global ambition and global framework.
- Create the space to discuss the challenges, the needs, and the priorities of OFDL seen from the perspective of the different organizations in the region.
- Provide members basic tools for designing an advocacy campaign in their regions and adapt the content in different channels
