The goal of in-person conferences is not only to have the opportunity for us all to interact during sessions, but also to explore and take advantage of our surroundings and beautiful host city. So with that in mind, here are a few suggestions for venturing out into Cork City to have an \u2018embodied experience\u2019 with the OER24 themes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Theme 1 &#8211; Open Education Landscape and Transformation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This theme explores Open Education and its transformative potential, with a particular emphasis on key initiatives and developments in the Irish education and training context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to experience:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200bWhat better way to experience the open Irish landscape than by visiting a library! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corkcitylibraries.ie\/en\/\">Cork City Libraries<\/a> are amazing (open!) spaces spread across the city with a variety of exhibitions, resources and maker spaces to delight OER24 visitors. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corkcitylibraries.ie\/en\/locations\/map\/\">This map<\/a> outlines all locations across the city, each with unique character and resources.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Theme 2 &#8211; Equity and Inclusion in OER<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This theme delves into the role of Open Educational Resources (OER) in serving marginalised groups and in promoting inclusivity, diversity and equity in open education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to experience:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cork has an incredible culinary scene which celebrates and represents a diverse range of cuisines.
