*SHOW - Share Open Access Worldwide*
SHOW (Share/OpenAccess/Worldwide) will be the first-of-its-kind event to
celebrate Open Access Week in Croatia at the Faculty of Humanities and
Social Sciences within the University Campus in Rijeka, Croatia. The idea is
to raise awareness among Croatian students about the importance of free flow
of information and open access to research literature, which is not a
familiar term, by raising questions about what students are already well
familiar with, i.e., intellectual property. The students will be introduced
to Copyleft movement, Creative Commons licensing, Open Projects, Open
Content movement, Open Access movement and the Right to Research Coalition
action and they will be invited to join the debate about the chances for the
world of open values.

When: October 26-27, 2011
Where: Rijeka, Croatia

shorts. The films will be made available online under CC BY-NC-ND starting

*Oxcars and Free Culture Forum 2011*
For 3 years now, the OXCARS and the FCForum, held in Barcelona, have
provided international meeting spaces in which to build and coordinate
common tools for issues regarding free culture and the Internet. This year,
the FCForum will focus, inevitably, on the experience of the 15M movement as
a case study that can be exported to the global arena.
