Training and Support for the Commons

Creative Commons training empowers creators, educators, researchers, and institutions to share knowledge openly and confidently. Our training programs provide the practical skills, frameworks, and tools needed to use the CC licenses effectively and to participate meaningfully in the open movement - no matter your sector or experience level.

Foundational understanding of open licensing and the commons is more important than ever as AI continues to change how we share online. Our training programs include up-to-date considerations on the rapidly shifting AI environment and its impacts on sharing and the commons.
