Dear Wikimedia friends,
Welcome to 2024! I hope it's been a nice journey so far.
I'm delighted to share that some of the people on this list will be
running workshops on *January 30 & February 21 *about their public
policy advocacy work on copyright reform. An overview of both is below.
These workshops are hosted via Let's Connect [1], a peer learning program
for and by Wikimedians.
You will need to register, but the link is not yet available. Please save
the date if one of these options interests you.
*January 30: Copyright Reform Advocacy *
- Date & Time: January 30th @ 16 - 18:00 UTC
- Presenters: WM Colombia & WM Italia
- Topic: This clinic will inform participants about creative,
impactful solutions to potential issues with copyright policy. Wikimedia
Colombia will describe their experience participating in a
government-initiated copyright reform process and the tactics, such as
working with allies, that helped them be successful in this process.
Wikimedia Italia will discuss what happens when the government is not
interested in copyright reform, and how the chapter has deployed creative
ways to demonstrate the value of copyright reform.
*February 21: Awareness + Education as tactics for Copyright Reform*
- Date & Time: February 21 @ 15 - 17:00 UTC
- Presenters: WM Indonesia & WM Sweden
- Topic: It's possible to push for copyright reform as part of other
ongoing initiatives, without immediately trying to change legislation. This
clinic will show some creative ways of raising awareness and start engaging
in activities to raise awareness and participate in policy discussions
around copyright issues. WM Sweden's story will demonstrate how the chapter
turned a massive defeat into a source of strength, while WM Indonesia will
cover how their ongoing education initiatives can support their public
policy advocacy plans.
Hope to see you there!
Ziski
