Connor Benedict
I am Connor Benedict, the Open Culture Coordinator at Creative Commons. The Open Culture Program focuses on developing policy, at a national, international, and multinational level as well as for institutions, capacity building activities such as the Creative Commons Certificate for Open Culture, open infrastructure, such as the CC Copyright Licenses and Public Domain Tools, and community engagement such as participating in and hosting events related to open culture, copyright, and the open movement.
Interventions
The session, co-chaired by Creative Commons and Centrum Cyfrowe will introduce the TAROCH initiative, invite experts to discuss the value of open heritage and invite the participants gathered in the room to share their stories that might support the cause of TAROCH.
Wikimedians in residence are a key component of the global open culture movement as in many cases they are the frontrunners of open access to culture in countless institutions; helping to open up collections and entire cultures to the eyes and wonder of people across the globe. This workshop will focus on skills sharing, cross-pollinating, and co-learning about how cultural heritage institutions are launched into open. Imagine a series of discussions and conversations organised in concentric and overlapping circles, each delving into key topics for the open culture movement.
