Welcome to Open Popular University/Universite Populaire

Imagine a world where anyone can learn anything any time anywhere without spending a dime and

without being tied to any educational institution. This is the power of self-learning and true open

education. At this point one can learn anything instantly or for a certain period time according to his/her

own schedule using his/her abilities of learning, the educational resources of the internet, the library,

the community and social media educational communities. Self-learners are not the sole beneficiaries of

this power. Regular learners, teachers and researchers benefit also. In open education educational

materials called OER are shared freely between learners and facilitators of learning. In open learning

one isn't taught by someone who forces you to learn and directs all your learning. A facilitator of

learning helps you to reach the educational goals that you set for yourself or you can chose to learn by

yourself using the resources at your disposal. This establishes lifelong learning where one doesn't have

to learn under the direction of someone. Open Popular University embraces the movement of

empowering people with knowledge. Open Popular University/Universite populaire is created on the

following concepts: informal education, alternative education and open education. The mission of Open

Popular University is to help thousands of people throughout the world especially those who can't

afford to pay the high costs of higher education. The university reserves a place for Haitian learners

whose access to education and high quality learning materials is limited. Help Open Popular University
