Who gets to teach about #OpenScience, and who learns? With our new workshop plan, we want to flip the script. Grateful to co-lead the creation of the plan (V1 👀) with @nscorralfrias.bsky.social & our amazing @abrir.bsky.social team Details 👇 www.linkedin.com/posts/abrirp... @orca-open.bsky.social

Square poster. The main text reads:
“Our first ABRIR workshop plan is here!
With ORCA’s support, we’re piloting a new way to strengthen DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in open science — by reversing who gets to teach and who learns.
To make open science truly global and equitable, we need to learn from the strengths of Majority World researchers.”
Smaller text reads: “Developed with support from the Open Research Community Accelerator (ORCA) and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (Award Number: #20160-2025-10).”
The poster also includes the ABRIR logo and a QR code leading to  https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17244026
