On Tuesday, August 28, 2007, groups from Brazil, the United States and France will join together in Second Life to celebrate knowledge sharing from around the world with simulcast events from major campuses in Brazil. The conference will highlight the spread of new knowledge networks and discuss the beginning of a new economy that values global collaboration and sharing of knowledge.

The event will be hosted by the University of Southern California Center on Public Diplomacy at the Annenberg School, a joint research and professional training organization dedicated to furthering the study and practice of international public diplomacy.

Of special note is a panel at 1 pm UTC (9 am SLT) on Talents, Competencies, and Identities on the Internet, with Joshua Fouts of the USC Center on Public Diplomacy, Carol-Ann Braun, who does digital community and public art projects at Le Cube (France) and Jorge Bodanzky, a documentarist who leads a digital emancipation project in the Amazon region. Doug Schuler, a well-known social computing activist behind the Seattle Community Network, will also explore language and action in new digital realms.

We will also be previewing “Digital Culture and Development”, a DVD with a collection of documentaries about digital emancipation projects in Brazil, an interview with Brazil’s Minister of Culture, Gilberto Gil, and a videoclip offered as a gift to Claude Lévi-Strauss in 2005, when the City of Knowledge pioneered the production of mobile content by local, underserved communities in the Center-West, North and Northeast of Brazil.
Background on City of Knowledge 2.0
New communicative and cognitive rightsncome to the fore as networks reflect civic intelligence and action geared by citizens as well as companies and other innovative organizations. The emergence of new creative commons is another example of capitalist development associated to the social appropriation of digital networks in the Web 2.0.
The City of Knowledge 2.0 augments the experience of collective knowledge creation and becomes a nonprofit publicninterest territory in Second Life, functioning as an incubator of social, educational, environmental and cultural projects and initiatives.
Individuals, organizations and evennnations which are incapable of creating and managing its icons and avatars willnnot benefit from new social production forms.
Specific objectives of City of Knowledge 2.0
* TO CREATE a new field of knowledge creation and communicative practices wherenthe information economy and the audiovisual arts converge for the benefit of public interests, promoting income distribution and innovation in creative industries;
* TO ORGANIZE a pro bono space (collaborative, nonprofit, open and free) where social entrepreneurship can be incubated through strategic management of knowledge, copyright and technological innovation;
* TO DISTRIBUTE the costs, risks, benefits and opportunities generated by this pro bono space, promoting an equitable adaptation to the information society paradigm;
* TO EMANCIPATE individuals and collectives as a result of collaborative projectsnable to generate investment opportunities, income, occupation and identity.
