After introducing the <\/span>CC Italy Chapter<\/span><\/a> to you in July, the <\/span>CC Netherlands Chapter<\/span><\/a> in August and <\/span>CC Bangladesh Chapter<\/span><\/a> in September, we are now travelling to Africa to introduce the CC Tanzania Chapter!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> Creative Commons Global Network<\/span><\/a> (CCGN) consists of 45 CC Country Chapters spread across the globe. They\u2019re the home for a community of advocates, activists, educators, artists, lawyers, and users who share CC\u2019s vision and values. They implement and strengthen open access policies, copyright reform, open education, and open culture in the communities in which they live.<\/span><\/p>\n

To help showcase their work, we\u2019re excited to continue our blog series and social media initiative: <\/span>CC Network Fridays<\/b>. At least one Friday a month, we\u2019re travelling around the world through our blog and on Twitter (using<\/span> #CCNetworkFridays<\/b><\/a>) to a different CC Chapter, introducing their teams, discussing their work, and celebrating their commitment to open!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Say hello to CC Tanzania!<\/b><\/h3>\n

The CC Tanzania Chapter was formed in July 2018. Its Chapter Lead is <\/span>Aristarik Hubert Maro<\/span><\/a> and its representative to the CC Global Network Council is <\/span>Emmanuel T. Malongo<\/span><\/a>. Since the beginning, the Chapter has been involved in advocating CC licences, promoting and supporting open education and copyright but over the last year, in particular, it has enhanced its activities covering almost all<\/span> CCGN Platforms<\/span><\/a>. For this post, we spoke to CC Tanzania Chapter Lead Aris who told us a bit more about the Chapter\u2019s work. He responded in both English and Swahili!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are also currently conducting online training on \u201cICT Soft Skills to Librarians\u201d in Tanzania. Recently, we participated in the <\/span>AfLIA Creative Commons Webinar on Open Access to Information<\/span><\/a>.

CC Tanzania: kwa sasa tunajishughulisha na mafunzo ya leseni za CC na maudhui huru za Elimu kwa Walimu Tanzania. Pia tunaendesha mafunzo kwa njia ya mtandao ya Ujuzi wa TEHAMA kwa Wakutubi Tanzania.
