Creative Commons is working with Fundacion Karisma as the Colombian affiliate.

KARISMA FOUNDATION Karisma Foundation is a Colombian NGO founded in 2003 and located in Bogota. Its mission is to support the spread and good use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the Colombian society.

These work has been the bridge to think on human rights in the digital frame and brought us to work more during the last 2 years in the context of the copyright reform and public policies.

Previous CC Ccolombia Roadmaps

Jurisdiction MOUs

The first MOU was signed by Universidad del Rosario back in 2005, since then Carolina Botero become coleader and because of her relation with the Karisma Foundation we supported CC’s activities in Colombia since the begining. Karisma Foundation signed a MOU with CC in September 3, 2009

Vision

Colombia has been traditionally very supportive of strong copyright legislative structures despite the fact of being in the third world and having a multiethnic population with a very diverse views of the creative process. CC shows some of the copyright current problematic issues and align them from a legal perspective that could be of good use in our country. From our own perspective, considering that the Foundation’s mission is to support the diffusion and good use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the Colombian society, we believe Creative Commons is an important tool that could be implemented in different sectors of the Colombian society. It is so especially because Karisma has worked mainly with educational institutions since its inception, providing content and support for the use of ICTs in the learning process. “Open” ideas, problems and solutions are present from the start. The scope of Karisma´s work now supports the appropriation of ICT in many other sectors—in this context, we also find it very useful and important to be associated to the Creative Commons licences and the networks that are related to them. Leading Creative Commons activities in Colombia is easy to match with our current normal activities; analysis, consultation, proposals, trainings, teaching materials, legal advice and analysis on ICT issues, as well as the design and organization of conferences and seminars on ICT appropriation, especially regarding educational, citizen and cultural matters.

What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?

  1. The fact that the normal activities of the affiliates are easily related to CC activities, because then the effort that the CC project requires is part of the day-to-day work and has a direct benefit for the affiliate.
  2. The affiliate needs to have a commitment with openness not just on the “conceptual” or “theoretical” part of the idea but also in terms of the affiliates' approach towards others. The project has to be open for people and institutions in the jurisdiction to ask questions, find support and get involved with Creative Commons ideas, the affiliate has to be first a catalyst and then the expert.
  3. The affiliate must build a network on the national and international level that allows the project to have communicating vessels, a real network that allows the project to grow and learn from others.

How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?

We have been working in the open world for various years. We have built our own expertise on the project that we can share with others. This expertise is relevant not only to the diffusion of the project in our country but also in relation with other regional and worldwide projects.

Community

The communities we work with

  1. Free software community
  2. Librarians' community
  3. Teachers' community
  4. Creators' community
  5. Universities
  6. Public Institutions are increasingly interested

We support their activities and will continue organizing activities that will involve them doing capacity building or just sharing experiences to facilitate the use and diffusion of CC licenses.

Priority Goals

  1. Local Projects We will continue to work with artists, entrepreneurs, activists, etc. to show their use of CC as example to others, to provide them with information and support their efforts in providing CC information.
  2. Open Access and OER We will continue to work with different stakeholders in order to promote public policies engaging teachers, scientifics, public policy makers, librarians and basically any person that need academic and scientific information produced in Colombia and in the Latin American region.
  3. Promotion and Capacitation Beyond attending events that we are normally invited and answering questions, we will feature specific activities nationally like CC salons or audiovisual festivals and CC workshops to promote free culture in a broader audience, those that already know CC and those getting in touch with the concept.

Project Outputs

  1. Local Projects We will increase our colombian projects database and feature more of them in the CC Colombia web page using during 2013.

    Team Member responsible: Carolina Botero
  3. Promotion and Capacitation We will participate and collaborate in different events including free culture activities in the country and organization of CC salons and audiovisual festivals during 2013.
    Team Member responsible: all

Metrics

  1. We will report the number of projects we are able to document
  2. We will support at least 2 projects during the year
  3. We will participate in at least 10 different activities

Resources Required

Main resources such as those necessary for promotional material are provided by Karisma Foundation and the human resources are by a volunteer team that is willing to support the effort.

Sustainability and Scalability

We know that we are drawing mostly from volunteers, therefore we design this road map mixing our normal activities with commitments on CC goals, this will give us the flexibility to reach the goals even if they take longer. However, we are committed to work on this and guarantee compliance to the best of our ability. The leadership is guaranteed in the fact that we have a team that will be supporting each other.

According to the nature of the goals we will use different means of communication.
