‘Towards Better Sharing of Cultural Heritage’ Workshop — Help us develop a CC Open Culture Guide for Policymakers

Join us at the ‘Towards Better Sharing of Cultural Heritage’ Workshop on Tuesday 10 May 2022 at 3 PM UTC as we kickstart the development of a CC Open Culture Guide for Policymakers.

This digital workshop will continue the work of the newly released paper “Towards Better Sharing of Cultural Heritage — An Agenda for Copyright Reform”. We will bring together policy experts and open culture enthusiasts from around the world to help shape the first ever CC Open Culture Guide for Policymakers.

The workshop will begin with a brief overview of the main policy issues affecting better sharing of cultural heritage. Panelists will then share their insights into ways to develop impactful and effective guidance to reshape policy. This will be followed by an interactive session where we will co-create an initial roadmap for developing a guide for policymakers to support the public-interest goals and mission of cultural heritage institutions and their users around the globe.

An overview of current and emerging policy issues, trends and challenges in order to action
Practical tools to develop key arguments and effectively advocate for reform in the GLAM sector to fruition 
Steps to leverage the transformative power of access to cultural heritage to support and encourage people to enjoy their right to access culture
Tools to identify engagement opportunities to promote open access and better sharing of cultural heritage 

Confirmed Panelists include:
