Creative Commons Hong Kong

One important focus for Creative Commons Hong Kong is education. Making education materials accessibility for all is one of our dreams. DotAsia, a not-for-profit organization, shares the same dream. They are implementing this approach through the NetMission Ambassadors (http://NetMission.asia) program.

The NetMission Ambassadors program aims to bring together a network of dedicated young volunteers devoted towards promoting and contributing towards digital inclusion, Internet governance as well as a respectable and harmonious Internet environment. The program will recruit and select 25 Young NetMission Ambassadors every year, who will take part in a comprehensive training program including seminars, workshops, site visits and exchange programs in China and around Asia to participate in related national and international events.

The training program will invite experts on the subjects of Internet governance, digital inclusion and other related areas to share insights, experiences and thoughts with the NetMission Ambassadors. Each graduating class of NetMission Ambassadors will also be tasked to develop and implement a digital inclusion project or event (Community Project) to raise awareness and bring positive social impact to the information society in Asia.

Edmon Chung, Chief Executive Officer of DotAsia, is now presenting on the topic of “Intellectual Property and the Digital Divide” with CC as the obvious solution during the ambassador recruitment talks in different Universities in Hong Kong. Moreover, CC will be further explained in training and will be employed during the implementations of the digital inclusion projects.

If you know anyone who is currently studying in the top 10 local tertiary institutes and universities or you are a student, please consider applying for this program before 25 Feb. You can refer to http://NetMission.asia for further details.
