Grants/cc.pe : EXPANDING THE PROJECT TO A NATIONAL LEVEL
Describe the project you are proposing as clearly as possible in just five sentences.
We plan to establish a well-trained local CC Peru team in as many Peruvian cities as we can, giving them the information and tools they need in order to build a broader national community. We are aiming to raise awareness and spreading information regarding CC, our ported licences, the open educational resources (OER), the OCW led by universities around the world, the copyleft movement and other open projects in different cities away from Lima, which have been traditionally excluded from state-of-the-art resources and education.
We will contact authorities, professors and students from local universities and higher education institutes, organize an open conference in every city and invite all the interested people to participate as voluntary members of the CC Peru local team to intensive workshops, which will take place during the same visit, after which all the workshops attendees will be officially considered part of CC Peru’s team and will be able of replicating CC’s message to an exponentially larger number of potential users and supporters of our licenses in their own regions.
Detail the tangible project output (e.g., paper, blog post, written materials, video/film, etc.; this would be in addition to the final written report that successful grant recipients will be expected to deliver to CC at the conclusion of the project).
We are going to hire a developer to make three different short videos (animations): (i) CC in education (for students, professors, scholars); (ii) CC for artists (photographers, musicians, writers, etc.) and right holders (producers); and (iii) CC for cultural resources managers and cultural organizations (there are several foreign organizations that support cultural activities regularly within their jurisdictions). These videos will be a complement of the “Get creative” animation. We are also going to develop printed promotional stuff. They will all be licensed, so they can be used and adapted by other CC projects, and country jurisdictions.
Describe the community you are targeting. How would the project benefit the community?
We are targeting directly at students, scholars and authorities of 29 out of the 73 officially recognized universities and several higher institutes located in the main Peruvian cities, and indirectly to the rest of the potential users and supporters of our licences who live or are located in the main regions of Peru. According to the Peruvian 2007 Census, in the regions that we have targeted live over three million people within the age range of 15-29, which we consider are more likely to start using our licences initially in Peru due to their closeness to the Internet and IT in Peru, and over one million people within the age range of 20-24, which in our opinion will be more likely to get involved with our project during our visits.
Through our workshops and lectures we will do, in fact, an educational and human development work for students and professors of tertiary education in Peru, because we will show them the relevance of not-for-profit work as well as several ways to use information technologies, creative uses of law, powerful resources and free sources of information and knowledge that are new to most of them and can be used to becoming a creator, an author and /or an active participant in the information society.br />
