In 2024, we were encouraged by successful joint sessions with a range of Networks, each focusing on distinct themes. Notably, two sessions were held on 'Activism & Democracy in Open Learning' and 'Open Learning: Building Democratic Educational Environments,' in collaboration with Network 34: Research on Citizenship Education. Additional joint paper and symposium sessions were organized with Network 8: Health and Wellbeing Education and Network 30: Environmental and Sustainability Education Research (ESER). The partnership with Network 12: Open Research in Education was continued by a joint session.
