Nos principaux programmes comprennent des ateliers de sensibilisation et de contribution dans les écoles, collèges, lycées, universités et les communautés, des événements et concours de contribution à Wikipédia, commons, wikidata et autres projets Wikimedia, ainsi que des partenariats avec des institutions culturelles et éducatives pour créer, numériser et partager du contenu local.
Les défis auxquels nous sommes confrontés incluent souvent le manque de sensibilisation à la culture du libre accès à la connaissance et la faible représentation des contenus béninois sur les plateformes Wikimedia. Pour relever ces défis, nous nous appuyons sur des stratégies telles que l'éducation aux médias et à la littératie numérique, le renforcement des capacités des contributeurs locaux, les concours et challenges, et le plaidoyer pour des politiques favorables à la libre diffusion de la connaissance.
En résumé, nos programmes visent à éduquer, mobiliser et autonomiser les Béninois pour qu'ils contribuent activement à la création et à la diffusion de contenu culturellement pertinent et accessible à tous. En adoptant ces stratégies, nous sommes confiants que nous pourrons surmonter les défis actuels et contribuer de manière significative et durable à l'enrichissement des patrimoines numériques béninois, africain et mondial.

Nos principaux axes d'action, avec une attention particulière sur plusieurs points, dont la loi sur le droit d'auteur et spécifiquement la doctrine du "Fair Use" (usage équitable) et la liberté de panorama (FOP). incluent :
Loi sur le droit d'auteur et le domaine public : Nous plaidons en faveur de réformes visant à équilibrer les intérêts des créateurs et du public, en garantissant un accès équitable aux œuvres du domaine public et en encourageant la libre diffusion du savoir.
Politiques de données ouvertes : Nous soutenons l'adoption de politiques favorables à la publication de données gouvernementales sous licence ouverte, permettant ainsi une utilisation plus large et une réutilisation créative des informations publiques.
Liberté d'expression en ligne : Nous nous engageons à défendre les droits des utilisateurs d'Internet, notamment en plaidant pour des lois qui protègent la liberté d'expression en ligne et qui garantissent un accès ouvert et non discriminatoire à Internet.
Education et accès à l'information : Nous travaillons pour promouvoir l'intégration de l'accès à l'information et l'éducation aux médias dans les politiques éducatives, afin de renforcer les compétences en matière de recherche et de pensée critique chez les citoyens.
Infrastructure numérique et accès à Internet : Nous plaidons pour des politiques qui favorisent le développement de l'infrastructure numérique, y compris l'extension de l'accès à Internet dans les zones rurales et marginalisées, afin de réduire la fracture numérique et de garantir une participation équitable à la société de l'information.
- 9.6.2. What are the main methods and tactics via which you plan to advocate for this public policy change? Please be as specific as possible. (required)
Voici quelques-unes des principales méthodes et tactiques que nous envisageons d'adopter :
Sensibilisation et éducation : Nous prévoyons d'organiser des séminaires, des ateliers et des conférences pour sensibiliser les décideurs politiques, les législateurs et le grand public sur les enjeux liés au droit d'auteur, à la liberté de panorama et à d'autres questions pertinentes pour notre mission. Nous fournirons des informations détaillées sur l'importance de ces questions pour la libre diffusion de la connaissance et l'accès à la culture.
Engagement avec les décideurs politiques : Nous chercherons à établir des relations de travail avec les décideurs politiques au niveau national et local. Cela comprendra des réunions en personne, des présentations, des soumissions écrites et d'autres formes de communication pour expliquer nos positions et plaider en faveur de réformes législatives favorables.
Collaboration avec d'autres organisations : Nous envisageons de travailler en partenariat avec d'autres organisations qui partagent nos objectifs et nos valeurs. Cela peut inclure des alliances avec des groupes de défense des droits numériques, des organisations culturelles, des universités et des institutions de recherche, ainsi que des groupes de la société civile travaillant dans des domaines connexes.
Campagnes de sensibilisation publique : Nous prévoyons de mener des campagnes de sensibilisation publique pour mobiliser le soutien en faveur de nos objectifs de plaidoyer. Cela peut inclure des campagnes sur les médias sociaux, des pétitions en ligne, des événements de sensibilisation communautaire et d'autres activités visant à susciter un intérêt et un soutien pour nos causes.
Recherche et documentation : Nous conduirons des recherches approfondies pour étayer nos arguments et fournir des preuves empiriques de l'impact positif des réformes proposées. Nous produirons également des documents de plaidoyer, des rapports de recherche et des analyses pour informer et influencer les décideurs politiques et le grand public.
