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

Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to announce the publication of our Open Culture Call to Action
to Policymakers.
Drafted by a small group of open culture advocates of the Creative Commons
Copyright Platform
<https://network.creativecommons.org/cc-copyright-platform-activity-fund/>
and Open Culture Platform
<https://network.creativecommons.org/cc-openculture-platform/> — Shanna
Hollich (CC US), Emine Ozge Yildirim (KU Leuven), Maarten Zeinstra (CC
Netherlands) and Brigitte Vézina (Director of Policy and Open Culture) —
this resource:
- summarizes key takeaways from the 2022 CC policy paper Towards Better
Sharing of Cultural Heritage — An Agenda for Copyright Reform
<https://creativecommons.org/2022/04/04/cc-publishes-policy-paper-titled-tow…>
;
- applies the lessons learned during a CC virtual workshop for policy
experts and open culture enthusiasts
<https://creativecommons.org/2022/05/17/virtual-workshop-recap-towards-bette…>
held
in May 2022, and;
- distills numerous conversations with and by the CC open culture
community held between June and October 2022, as well as direct document
input gathering ideas, feedback and real-life examples.
Huge thanks to all community members who participated in the workshop, in
multiple conversations, and who engaged with the draft with input and
suggestions.
We’ll be presenting the publication at Open Nederland’s Public Domain Day

Hello everyone!
While this is a bit of an off-topic, I've seen several of you sharing
projects on cultural heritage, climate change & openness, so I thought I
might share this here:
We're excited to launch the Open Climate Fellowship program!
Open Climate is looking for 7 fellows interested in working on
intersections between open technology projects and the climate crisis.
Fellows should be interested in connecting with new people working with
open technologies and/or climate and environmental justice, & coordinating
with our team to put ideas, projects and partnerships out into the
world. Applications
are due December 11th. More at: https://open-climate.org/fellowship/
<https://open-climate.org/fellowship/?fbclid=IwAR120c4d-nEjVQW2vFI8Q4nu0Vzcc…>
On Dec. 6, at 3 PM UTC, we will be holding a webinar to answer questions
from interested applicants and help them develop their fellowship idea:
