Dear colleagues: those of you who attended the CC Africa Convening in Uganda earlier this year will perhaps remember me speaking very briefly about the "School of Open", a joint initiative by CC and P2PU (Peer to Peer University, https://p2pu.org/en/). Dedicated to universal access to and participation in research, education, and culture, the School of Open aims at offering courses on the meaning and application of “open” on the web and in offline environments. These free and collaborative courses are designed by volunteers - individual creators or organisational representatives. If you find this interesting and you want to know more and hopefully even get involved (e.g. by participating in or even creating and running a course yourself), this is what you need to do:
I think this is a fascinating initiative with the potential of changing the way of how education could work and how knowledge is being transferred. I would therefore love to see some of us getting involved in this to add an African voice to the project. In order to make this initiative important and meaningful around the world, however, CC is also particularly interested right now in finding out
Your help in answering these questions would be highly appreciated. All the best for now, Tobias --- Dr. Tobias Schonwetter Regional Coordinator: Africa Creative Commons |
