Dear all,
We would like to invite you to a debate on 21 June in the European Parliament (Brussels)
on "What educators need from copyright reform" organised by Communia, LIBER and
EUROCLIO. The meeting will be hosted by MEP Marietje Schaake (ALDE).
The voice of educators is often overlooked in copyright reform debates. We want to change
that. We are inviting practitioners and experts from the field of education to speak about
ways in which copyright can support 21st century education.
During the meeting, we will highlight how the educational sector can benefit from a strong
exception, to be introduced in the Copyright Directive. We will also present results of
the "Right Copyright for Education" campaign (rightcopyright.eu
<http://rightcopyright.eu/>) - a petition to the European Parliament signed by
almost 5000 educators and citizens from across Europe.
Date: Wednesday, 21 June 2017
Time: 12:30 - 14:15
