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.
