Vision
In a country like Guatemala Creative Commons licences have different meanings. They promote the country to other countries by allowing art, science, to be distributed easier and faster. Guatemala is a small country but it is rich in culture and the licenses enable us to share the best of it. And at the same time these kind of licences allow Guatemalans to have access to information that in other way we would have never have access to, such as Open Education Programs and projects related to access to knowledge for all..
What makes Guatemala a good local project is the variety of jurisdictions it reaches, and the reduction of the digital divide and also the knowledge divide in a highly unequal country. The jurisdiction hopes to encourage other chapters around the World to work together in projects to promote an open knowledge economy, culture and society.
