Dear colleagues,
Creative Commons is thrilled to announce our first CC Certificate
<https://certificates.creativecommons.org/>scholarships for our newly
launched GLAM course. If you would like to nominate a member of the CC
Global Network or Open GLAM community for a scholarship - who has
contributed to Open GLAM efforts - please read below.
The scholarship will help individuals seeking to deepen their knowledge
about open licensing and open practices for GLAMs, and get CC Certified!
The CC Certificate for GLAM is a rigorous, 10-week course, which requires
6-10 hours of work per week. Scholarships are *non-refundable*. Scholarship
recipients must be willing to devote the required time to complete the
course.
Scholarships: We are offering 38 scholarships for our 2022 courses.
Scholarships will cover 40% of the registration fee, and scholarship
recipients will be responsible for the remaining US$300. While scholarships
are open to the first applicants (or nominees) who complete this form, we
will prioritize granting scholarships to as many countries as possible.
Additional considerations:
-
Applications close on 15 March, 2022.
-
Accepted applicants will be notified by April and will need to register
for their preferred course before 30 May, 2022.
-
The next courses run from 13 June - 21 August, and from 26 September - 4
December, 2022.
Course information: The CC Certificate for 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 CC Certificate for GLAM, community members will develop capacity
in opening access to cultural heritage. They will develop a deeper
understanding of open licensing and copyright considerations with
digitization projects, Rights Statements, Traditional Knowledge Labels,
working with the public domain, and more.
-
CC Certificate for GLAM 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

Shameless self-promo, but hope to trigger your interest
for the online event tomorrow: #OpenMICwithPixelACHE
- research consultation on open archiving practices
--ON EVENT--
This event is the first open and public recording session
in the form of a consultancy for a research+reflection project
on the long parallel histories -20 years- of
Wikimedia, Creative Commons, and Pixelache Helsinki Festival
as a transdisciplinary platform. It is hosted by a network of
Pixelache members and Wikimedians for Vorspiel.Berlin guests.
At times the ambitions of Open Cultures, Codes and Knowledge,
with Wikimedia and the culture of Sharing and Remix have
overlapped with media arts festivals like Pixelache,
which has promoted open culture, and Wiki methodologies
in its early years. However, since then there has been much
pragmatism as (not)social (but)algorithmic media and online
platforms have abducted, obfuscated, and taken over media
festivals in the past decades, in the way that knowledge
was accumulated and has been shared.
How do we reconcile and learn from tensions, each others'
movements and hybrid practices?
This first gathering is an open mic session, inviting
open culture and digital arts professionals and enthusiasts
to join us in a semi structured conversation for cca 60 minutes.
Participating in discussion:
Florence Devouard (User:Anthere)

--ON PROJECT--
Pixelache Wikimedians-in-residence: This project will prototype
the combination podcast production, research and reflection residency
which focus on Wikimedia and cultural organisational practices,
including archiving.
It will discuss and reflect upon the long parallel history -20 years- of
Pixelache Helsinki Festival and transdisciplinary platform,
which has promoted open culture, and Wikimedia methodologies.
Where have these overlapped, gone hand-in-hand and then diverged.
We wish to reconcile ambitions with both the Wikimedia and
Creative Commons anniversaries.
#OpenMICwithPixelACHE - research consultation on open archiving
practices is part of the Pixelache Helsinki 20th anniversary programme.
As part of the festivities and deeper interrogations in Pixelache Helsinki's
20-year history, we plan to produce 3 discursive podcasts this year,
to be presented at the end of 2022.
The event is brought to you in partnership with Vorspiel Berlin
of CTM & Transmediale festivals with the support of
the Wikimedia Foundation.

Vorspiel 2022: transmediale and CTM's Vorspiel is a program of
distributed partner events in the field of digital art and culture and
experimental sound and music, where a variety of partner venues invite
local and international audiences to a series of exhibition openings,
performances, interventions, artist talks and special events across the
city of Berlin.
The Vorspiel program was established in 2011, then called DAS Weekend.
In each of the past ten editions, over 60 project spaces, galleries and
independent cultural actors have curated and organized a rich program of
exhibitions, workshops and performances. Vorspiel is meant to be a
program for the city of Berlin, connecting different genres and
practices for creating opportunities of common exchange and reflection
and for bringing together communities and individuals which are dealing
with art, technology, politics and identity in a critical way, while
also seeking to strengthen the dialog with the two festivals. To create
this link, the Vorspiel program will take place before both festivals
this year starting from 21 January 2022.
