[Open-education] OER policies and copyright reform as two paths towards user rights in education

Thu Dec 3 08:01:33 UTC 2015

Thanks Alec for the update.
I will be speaking today at another panel at the European Parliament, titled Media Literacy: XXI Century Challenge <http://www.eucis-lll.eu/news/eucis-lll-news/expert-debate-on-the-challenge-of-media-literacy/>, where I will also promote OER and open education as a prerequisite for inclusive digital literacy. Let’s hope that these consecutive messages will have some effects in the EU institutions corridors….
Best
Fabio

> Centrum Cyfrowe and Communia recently organised a policy debate in the European Parliament, hosted by Michał Boni, Member of the European Parliament. We wanted to talk about education, user rights and copyright - and demonstrate two parallel solutions: OER policies and copyright reform.

> The event was a success, with 40 people attending, including 4 Members of the EuroParliament and many stakeholders and experts based in Brussels. There was a general sense that this is an important current issue, that can be talked during ongoing EU legislative process.
