Open government initiatives can be a valuable platform for expanding open education and open policy around the world. Through the Open Government Partnership (OGP), a multilateral initiative of 75 countries, more than 10 countries have adopted commitments on open education and open licensing policies - from the United States to Slovakia to Chile. This session will explore the opportunities for the CC network to leverage OGP and other open government initiatives in their countries to open up publicly funded resources, and engage the public to use, build upon, and benefit from it.
