Education Kit
 Part of the effort in the preparation of the Launch of Creative Commons in Hong Kong on the 25 Oct 2008 was the production of the CC Education Kit. The content of the kit is based on interviews of renowned artists, composers, bloggers and IT experts. The kit starts with an introduction of the concept of some rights reserved and the relevance of CC to Hong Kong. The kit can be downloaded here. Please contact us if you want to obtain physical copies of the education kit. |
