Workshop of copyright issues at the World Social Forum (Dakar, Senegal)

Tuesday, 8 February 16h00 to 19h00

A workshop to examine the negative effects of copyright on the peoples of Africa, including Senegal, and how these restrictive laws prevent the sharing of knowledge and culture. We will look at how copyright impacts negatively on libraries, schools and students, musicians and other cultural workers.

Interpretation in French, English and Wolof
