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
