This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and lesser used languages. It notes that while OER uptake is increasing, most countries in Europe lag behind in OER development, especially for lesser used languages. It recommends enhancing cultural and linguistic diversity through OER by improving OER policies and initiatives in these countries and languages. The International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE) aims to facilitate OER development globally and ensure inclusive, flexible education through events, projects and partnerships.
