With new publications, events, and the launch of a new coalition, the CC Open Culture Program accomplished a lot! Here are some highlights:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. At the <\/span>Open Culture Strategic Workshop<\/span><\/a> in Lisbon, Portugal, we gathered nearly 50 experts from every continent to co-create a strategic roadmap for future action, charting a course for UNESCO Member States to draft an agreement (otherwise referred to as a legal instrument). This would promote open solutions to enable equitable access to cultural heritage worldwide.

  2. In the wake of the Lisbon workshop, we launched the Towards a Recommendation on Open Cultural Heritage( TAROCH) Coalition, a collaborative effort to achieve the adoption of a UNESCO standard-setting instrument to improve open access to cultural heritage.

  3. We published <\/span>Don\u2019t be a Dinosaur; or, The Benefits of Open Culture<\/span><\/a>, which distills the views expressed in our <\/span>Open Culture Voices<\/span><\/a> (OCV) series about the ways in which so many people can benefit from open culture. Read more in this blog post: <\/span>What are the Benefits of Open Culture? A new CC Publication<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. We released guidelines for open culture that offer a fresh and innovative approach to prompting users to reference the institution when using public domain materials: <\/span>Nudging Users to Reference Institutions when Using Public Domain Materials<\/span><\/a>. Read more on our blog: <\/span>Where in the world is\u2026 this public domain material? Helping users refer to host institutions.<\/span> <\/a><\/li>\n
  5. We published <\/span>Open Culture Capsules<\/span><\/a>, a video series that addresses some of the most frequently asked questions about our work in the Open Culture Program. Our blog has more details and links to all the episodes: <\/span>Top Questions about Open Culture Answered in Five Short Videos<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition, we published even more <\/span>blog posts<\/span><\/a> on a wide range of topics (check out this one for example: <\/span>Moving Institutions Toward Open\u2014Building on 6 Years of the Open GLAM Survey<\/span><\/a>). We also organized training activities (watch this webinar we organized with Connecticut Humanities: <\/span>Open Access Made Easy: How to Open Your Collections for Greater and Better Sharing<\/span><\/a>) and offered the <\/span>CC Certificate on Open Culture<\/span><\/a>. We collaborated with Europeana to <\/span>review their Public Domain Charter<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    We took the stage at several events to promote open culture, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n
