Travel & Participation Support

CreativeCommonsGlobalSummitToronto

summaryI will be asking big questions to understand usable commons, future of commons and spheres of open. The Global Summit will provide a collaborative and fun space for anyone in the world to explore the future of the Commons and sharing for users, creators, and activists. We will shift the narrative from CC-licensed content to the community that both creates and promotes the value of the Commons. In the process, we will not only strengthen our current network, but expand our reach — growing the movement for a more vibrant, usable, and collaborative Commons centered on the people that make it possible.

I am particularly intrigued to seek more knowledge and clarity on usable commons, future of commons and spheres of open. This event will help me achieve these goals.
