Description of Project
|
"IP From the Ground Up" represents WIPO's commitment to nurturing a global culture of innovation and creativity at the grassroots level supported by IP. It is a unique approach to deliver the message, knowledge and know-how of using and benefiting from IP. It complements the mainstream assistance programs, like distance-learning, mentorship programs and organizing conferences. In essence, the project will deliver copyright training in an innovative manner - through "virtual chat," that brings the IP perspective to the business and other concerns of local artists, creators and entrepreneurs. It is a fresh approach to talk about and teach IP in a more interactive and practical way, by sharing real-life experiences, examining specific issues and deep-diving to explore concrete solutions to challenges faced by stakeholders in their local environment. Thus, the title of the training is "IP From the Ground Up." By piloting this technique of engaging stakeholders, the Project seeks to attract more stakeholders to learn about, use and benefit from IP in their communities. A crucial element of the Project is to draw discussions from WIPO publications to ensure that the conversation is guided by authoritative, accurate and up-to-date knowledge and tools from the organization’s experts. It is also a way to bring the publications to life and inspire more people to use them. By blending expert insights, real-world examples, and interactive discussions—all rooted in WIPO's published materials—the project aims to make IP knowledge more enticing to a diverse audience. |
