Dear all, We would like to invite you to a debate on 21 June in the European Parliament (Brussels) on "What educators need from copyright reform" organised by Communia, LIBER and EUROCLIO. The meeting will be hosted by MEP Marietje Schaake (ALDE). The voice of educators is often overlooked in copyright reform debates. We want to change that. We are inviting practitioners and experts from the field of education to speak about ways in which copyright can support 21st century education. During the meeting, we will highlight how the educational sector can benefit from a strong exception, to be introduced in the Copyright Directive. We will also present results of the "Right Copyright for Education" campaign (rightcopyright.eu <http://rightcopyright.eu/>) - a petition to the European Parliament signed by almost 5000 educators and citizens from across Europe.
