Session
Our session would be a panel discussion highlighting the learnings from a side event on "Shared Advocacy for the Knowledge Commons" organized by Creative Commons, Open Future, Open Knowledge Foundation, and Wikimedia Europe Wikimania’s day zero. This event will bring together 50-60 activists and experts with an interest in broadly understood advocacy work (including communication and technology experts). During the panel session the organizers, together with participants, will be able to report back the outcomes of the side event back to the Wikimania community.
