COL is excited to announce the launch of our new email news service, The Commonwealth Open Learning Bulletin!

The Bulletin, for short, is a regular newsletter of curated open learning and development news from across the Commonwealth and around the globe. It brings together stories, innovations, and insights that reflect our shared commitment to expanding equitable learning opportunities and fueling progress towards sustainable development.

Knowledge mobility — the ability to share ideas, models, research, and innovation across borders is one of the Commonwealth’s greatest strengths. We look forward to sharing news that inspires new partnerships, initiatives, and progress throughout the Commonwealth.

Learn more and subscribe to get The Bulletin delivered straight to your inbox: www.col.org/the-bulletin/
