Wikimedia France - open content projects
by Xavier Cailleau 20 Oct '22

20 Oct '22

Hi everyone, i would like to share some quite important *GLAM informations* from Wikimedia France. We are working on open content projects since several months and are pleased to present a *report relative to open content* in french GLAMs and the *« Label Culture Libre »* which will be open for applications from 27 October 2022. This*label *will be the first one in France *dedicated to cultural institutions that integrate open content and Wikimedia projects *in their digital practices. This project is part of a global initiative to raise awareness of open content, the first step of which was the publication of the open content report, produced by the Phare agency on behalf of and in partnership with Wikimedia France. Wikimedia France's open content strategy will be completed by the creation of an *observatory in 2023*. In order to better understand the stakes of the label and the steps to apply, we propose a special webinar on November 24, 2022 to the french GLAM. Please, find a quick presentation of the projects below. Label Culture Libre In order to support and promote these initiatives, Wikimedia France has developed the Label Culture Libre, the first label aimed at museums, libraries and archives, which rewards open content and collaborative digital initiatives. From the choice of the free license to the use of collaborative digital tools, this path expresses the convergence of the operational needs of cultural institutions and the evolution of the general public's uses. The Label Culture Libre is supported by our partners: Creative Commons France, Club Innovation & Culture CLIC France, and inno3. Open content report The "Report on open content in cultural institutions in France - State of play of digital practices and open content" proposes to evaluate the state of play, the scope and the promises made by open content in France. On April 26, 2022, Wikimedia France and the Phare agency proposed a restitution of the work to 130 cultural actors, at the National Institute of Art History, in Paris. The report gives an overview of the practices and explores the motivations, obstacles and circumstances of these practices. It is also a guide of good (and bad) practices. Among its findings, we discover that an average of 85% of GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) digitize their works and 76% put them online. On the other hand, only one third (31%) of the institutions adopt free licenses. The study goes beyond the panorama and proposes perspectives for the future as well as a few ways to adapt GLAM to the new uses of collaborative digital technology. The report is in french for the moment but we are working on a translation project. It is available here : https://w.wiki/56wz. If someone want more infos, i'll be glad to discuss about it.

WHintangible a video contest for UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
by yamen bousrih 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

Dear All, Wiki World Heritage UG is excited to share with you the details of a new video contest related to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Items listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage are very important as they represent our traditions, ethnic lifestyles, and culture. Despite this importance, they are less documented than tangible heritage, and even when documented they are documented in a format that doesn't reflect a clear idea of it(mainly text). Because videos are very good to describe intangible heritage and also because they are very important as a format to be uploaded to Commons and used in Wikipedia, the Wiki World Heritage UG is organizing during October and November a video contest with the theme Traditional craftsmanship: crafts inscribed by the UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The contest aims to collect videos showing different skills and crafts from all over the world and use these videos on Wikipedia. You can visit the campaign page on Commons where you can find more details and upload videos: Commons:WHintangible 2022 - Wikimedia Commons | | | | | | | | | | | Commons:WHintangible 2022 - Wikimedia Commons | | | We will be grateful if you could share this within your communities and contribute to spreading the word! Best RegardsYamen

🚀 NEW STUDY is now available: “Open GLAM & education. Teachers’ and educator’s perspective on digital culture resources
by Open Education Policy Forum 06 Oct '22

06 Oct '22

[image: GLAM_EDU.png] Dear all! If you missed this year's Open Education Policy Forum and our report *“Open GLAM & education. Teachers’ and educator’s perspective on digital culture resources”*. Below you'll find all open resources from our event. We especially wanted to thank our partners: *Europeana* <https://www.europeana.eu/>, *EuroClio* <https://euroclio.eu/>, and *Creative Commons* <https://creativecommons.org/>, as well as our sponsor – *William and Flora Hewlett Foundation* <https://hewlett.org/>. We’re thrilled that so many people from the GLAM institutions have joined our community of educators, researchers, teachers, and Open Education activists. Our speakers emphasized the importance of communication. We hope that the Forum allowed you to make new contacts and inspired you to initiate the new Open Education and Open Culture projects 🧡 *📺 If you want to recall the report premiere and/or listen to the Lightning Talks session, click HERE <https://youtu.be/kpoU52KCi4k>and watch the full presentation on our YouTube channel.* 🎧 Additionally, we recorded the roundtable that took place on the Forum's second day. *You will find it HERE <https://soundcloud.com/centrumcyfrowe/cultural-heritage-data-as-open-knowle…>* . Maja Drabczyk (Head of policy and advocacy at Centrum Cyfrowe) invites you to the discussion "Cultural Heritage Data as Open Knowledge" with great speakers: - Maciej Maryl – Director of the Digital Humanities Centre at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences - Teresa Nobre – Legal Director of COMMUNIA - Eirini Kaldeli – Senior Researcher at the National Technical University of Athens Read the report "Open GLAM & education. Teacher's and educator's perspective on digital resources" 🔎 You can find the report, charts, collected data, and questionnaires HERE <https://centrumcyfrowe.pl/en/open-glam-2022/>. The research was run by Centrum Cyfrowe in collaboration with Europeana, EuroClio, and Creative Commons. The study aims at understanding the importance of online heritage-based tools, resources, and digitized collections for formal and non-formal education in EU countries. The research results also served as a base for creating relevant recommendations on the development of heritage-based open educational resources and online collections for educational use. 👩‍🏫 Sneak peek at the findings: - According to the teachers and non-formal educators, the more heritage-based tools & resources and online collections are available for educational purposes, the better: - 94% of them agree that digital heritage-based tools & resources are important and help teachers and non-formal educators perform educational activities, - 84% claim that each cultural heritage institution should develop such interactive materials and digital resources. - Online digital collections and their context information are the most frequently used resources published by cultural heritage institutions: - 85% of surveyed teachers and non-formal educators use online digital collections while conducting educational activities, - 70% of respondents confirm the use of educational interactive web-based materials (games, quizzes, virtual tours), - 64% admit that they use digital educational resources (lesson plans, learning scenarios, tutorials). - The study showed that huge dispersion and difficulty with searching and finding heritage-based tools & resources and online collections are the major barriers for teachers and non-formal educators: - 40% of respondents claim "they are hard to find", - 32% state "they are not gathered in one place, platform, catalogue", - 32% believe "they are not well promoted. Let's stay in touch :-) We will be delighted if you share information about the study on your social media. You can find us on Twitter *@centrumcyfrowe* <https://twitter.com/centrumcyfrowe> and on LinkedIn – *Fundacja Centrum Cyfrowe* <http://www.linkedin.com/company/centrum-cyfrowe-projekt-polska>. Use hashtags: *#OEPForum22 #openeducation #OER #centrumcyfrowe* If you have any questions about the report or you would like to collaborate with us on future projects and research, please contact us at this email. Have a great week OEP Forum team
