Dear all, 

Want to learn about open culture, open licenses and get CC Certified? Good news! CC is offering 41 additional scholarships for our upcoming CC Certificate for GLAM courses!

To access a 60% scholarship for an upcoming Certificate for GLAM course, follow these directions by May 29, 2023: 

Step 1: 

• If you want to take the course in September 2022… Select the September 2022 GLAM Certificate course from this list of courses. 

• If you want to take the course in 2023, select a Certificate for “Open Culture” course from the 2023 list of courses. 

Step 2: 

• When registering for your course, select the option to “add promo code” and type in: Y2GLAMSCHOLAR60%. That will provide you with a 60% discount on registration.  

Notes: 

• The discount will work as long as scholarship tickets last. Please complete registration to claim the discount before tickets run out. 

• Because our current funding for scholarships expires by May 2023, we cannot accommodate late requests, refunds or transfers. Please let us know if you have any difficulties in registering before then.

• We anticipate having scholarships for future Open Culture/GLAM courses, so if you’re unable to secure a scholarship now, watch this space for future scholarships.

• We will transition the title of this course from the “CC Certificate for GLAM” to the “CC Certificate for Open Culture" in 2023.

Program information:

The CC Certificate for Open Culture/ GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) is a professional development training for institutions or community groups engaged in cultural heritage. As more GLAMs adapt to increasingly online audiences and users, they often seek Creative Commons legal tools, expertise and community support. Cultural heritage institutions share a common goal with Creative Commons: to make knowledge and culture globally accessible.

In the course, community members will build capacity in opening access to cultural heritage. They will develop a deeper understanding of open licensing and copyright considerations with digitization projects, CC licenses and tools, Rights Statements, Traditional Knowledge Labels, working with the public domain, and more.

CC Certificate participants will also gain access to a global community of professionals and activists working toward similar cultural and policy changes in their own cultural heritage institutions.

Best,

Jennryn
