I just got the word: the FFKP has gotten the funding required to start off our second Creative Commons project. This is great news, since the project works very well together with our other initiative to increase the collaboration between the Nordic countries. The new project, which will run from the 1st of September 2010 to the 30th of June 2011, will aim to bring Creative Commons to artists, writers and musicians in Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and the Faroe Islands.

We refer to our approach as a "train the trainers" approach. Essentially, what we'll do is to get a handful of people from each area to participate in a Nordic workshop and training session on Creative Commons around January 2011. We'll then organise regional workshops and training sessions in each of the areas mentioned above. That's no less than five regional Creative Commons events in the Nordic countries around April-May 2011. All of them will be organised in collaboration with the networking activities I've mentioned before, and in collaboration with the people who participate. So a big thank you to Smári McCarthy, Christian Villum, Gisle Hannemyr, Mathias Klang and Birita í Dali for being part of this.

More news will surely follow :)
