Quotes from Award Winners

Our Significant Impact Award from OEGlobal was Frontier for Young Minds’ first recognition specifically for our global work in open education, and it was an enormous validation. It opened up networks with other open educators, outside of science publishing, and we have made great new partnerships through this. We loved making a podcast with many contributors to our project for OEGlobal, this has had a great response from our audience!
