Six licenses. Two public domain tools. Infinite creative possibilities.

As part of Creative Commons’ 25th anniversary celebration, this special CC101 webinar invites you to dive into the world of CC licenses. IANAL? No problem! No legal background required. Whether you’re an artist, educator, researcher, librarian, or just curious, this session is the perfect way to dive into CC licensing (or brush up on your foundational knowledge for the experts out there!).

Ever wondered how Creative Commons licenses manage to be both simple and legally solid? Or how they work seamlessly across legal jurisdiction? We’ll explore the clever three-layer design behind each license, how they’ve been translated and adapted worldwide, and why they’ve become a backbone of sharing on the internet.

Join us for a 90-min live, accessible deep dive into the tools that power sharing on the internet. Come for the knowledge, stay for the CC licenses fan club.
