[Latin-America] Global Network Weekly #12

[Simeon Oriko]

Happy Friday friends! 👋🏽

So the CC Africa/Latin America Community Call took place this week and this
is probably the highlight of my week. I learned quite a bit and I'd like to
share some of that with you.

Both regions engage in projects that are heavily focused on providing
trainings about Creative Commons and the wider Open Movement and why it's
important. We began exploring ways to improve our trainings and share our
lessons and that conversation centered around the CC Certificates
<https://certificates.creativecommons.org/> and how we can use this to
boost the quality and credibility of our trainings.

More immediately, there was a need to share what various chapters are up
to. Friends from Latin America (led by CC Colombia) did a project
called *Audio-carta
<https://soundcloud.com/user-538674016>* meaning *Audio Letters* - in which
different chapters recorded audio clips explaining what they were up to.

We might pursue something similar. *CC Global South Podcast* perhaps? A way
to share with the world what CC Chapters in the Global South are doing and
why it matters.

*****
I've spent most of the week doing 2 things: reaching out to CC Chapters
across Africa and giving feedback to applicants of the CC Community
Activities Fund
<https://creativecommons.org/2017/06/13/community-activities-fund/>. I've
asked many of these people to reach out to you, the leaders of the various
CC Chapters, to offer to collaborate on various projects. I've offered to
make introductions if necessary. I hope you can welcome these people into
your CC community and finds ways to work and collaborate with them.

Quick reminder: our Global Collaboration agenda is centered on CC
Platforms. Take a look and join in:

'Til next Friday y'all!
