SUMMARY:Help Shape the Future of Skills - Cyanotypes framework pilot onboarding webinar
DESCRIPTION:In today’s rapidly evolving landscape\, creativity alone is no longer enough. Whether you’re a creative professional\, business\, training organisation\, network\, or policymaker\, future success depends on our ability to adapt\, innovate\, and lead through change. \n\n\n\nWhat is Cyanotypes?\n\n\n\nFunded by the Erasmus+ Programme\, CYANOTYPES is a strategic skills initiative designed to empower professionals in the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) with the competences needed to thrive in a digital\, sustainable\, and ever-changing landscape. \n\n\n\nWhy participate?\n\n\n\nTraditional training models often fall behind shifting skills demands. Inspired by the historical cyanotype photography process\, known for its adaptability and creativity\, CYANOTYPES responds by offering a cutting-edge\, competence-based framework that aligns with European standards. It provides customisable learning pathways to foster adaptability\, innovation\, and resilience. \n\n\n\nThe CYANOTYPES project has developed a flexible and scalable competence Framework structured around five key thematic clusters\, supported by a Train-the-Trainer Toolkit that helps educators\, professionals\, and organisations in delivering adaptable and high-impact learning experiences. \n\n\n\nIf this resonates with you\, we invite you to join our onboarding webinar on 27 May to explore the opportunity to become a CYANOTYPES Pilot Runner—leading an innovative learning journey to embed future-proof competences into the creative sector. \n\n\n\nCYANOTYPES can support you to: \n\n\n\n✅ Bridge skills gaps in digital\, green\, and societal transitions \n\n\n\n✅ Test pioneering approaches such as Triple-Loop Learning \n\n\n\n✅ Empower professionals\, trainers and learners with the skills that matter for tomorrow \n\n\n\nBy piloting CYANOTYPES\, you will become part of a European-wide initiative\, shaping creative education through cutting-edge methodologies and strategic foresight. Let’s work together to shape a more inclusive\, adaptive\, and future-ready creative sector. \n\n\n\n📅 Interested? Let’s discuss how a pilot could support your goals. Sign up for the onboarding webinar to learn more and take your first step toward piloting. \n\n\n\nSpaces are limited\, so we encourage you to register early to secure your place. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMyData Global is a project partner of Cyanotypes. The onboarding webinar will be hosted by Cyanotypes.

SUMMARY:MyData Principles- open collaboration meeting- Aug 11
DESCRIPTION:THIS IS A TWICE-MONTHLY OPEN FORUM TO DISCUSS UPDATES TO THE MYDATA PRINCIPLES\, IN PREPARATION FOR THE MYDATA CONFERENCE \n\n\n\nDear MyData Members. \n\n\n\nWe live in complex and changing times. In such situations\, having guiding principles that are clear enough to point us to where we want to go\, while flexible enough to allow us to navigate the unpredictable challenges that may arise\, is paramount. \n\n\n\nThe Principles in the MyData Principles Declaration are our guide. With this\, we coordinate our efforts and initiatives to develop a more human-centric future. However\, our Declaration has had a few years and while it served us well\, we have already started to work on it’s update. \n\n\n\nThe MyData Conference will be the perfect setting to discuss in person. But we also need time to read\, think and discuss it\, each by itself\, and together.  This can be done in real time and also asynchronously. \n\n\n\nWhile each person decides when and where to take that it’s individual and async time\, we are inviting you all to a fortnight meeting to do it in real time: the proposal is to get to know each other\, understand our individual and collective needs and thoughts\, discuss and define our next MyData Principles. \n\n\n\nBecause this is not another formal document: it will be our collective guide for the next 5 years. This is why we ask you to read it\, leave out the implementation details (the how)\, and let’s meet online to define\, together\, the fundamentals (the what). \n\n\n\nThe invitation is each 2nd and 4th Monday\, at 12:00 UTC\, for 55 minutes\, at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85014794466. \n\n\n\nThe rules are simple. A MyData facilitator will help us during the meeting\, and we will: \n\n\n\n\nrecord the sessions for other members to follow.\n\n\n\nhave a check-in where we very briefly present ourselves.\n\n\n\ncreate and consent our agenda based on everyone’s proposals.\n\n\n\nwork on the agenda points\, together or in parallel\, as we define.\n\n\n\ntake notes of the work done.\n\n\n\nclose with a synthesis and a check-out to see what went well and what we want to change for the next meeting.\n\n\n\n\nBetween sessions\, we have the Slack channel to keep thinking and working together\, and all notes will be shared on a document. \n\n\n\nAny questions and/or proposals\, please write me at eduardo@mercovich.net and I will be very happy to help. \n\n\n\nI hope to see you then and there. \n\n\n\nWarm regards\,Eduardo Mercovich\, member of the MyData Global Board \n\n\n\nPS: as with any videoconference\, the 1st time you log in you will have to give your browser permissions to access the camera and microphone.

SUMMARY:fairsfair.io: Transparency and Data Control
DESCRIPTION:On December 4th\, MyData member and Awardee fairsfair.io will share insights on transparency and data control through an EU-registered data intermediation service. Digital Rules\, Human Values\, a 2025–2026 global seminar series\, is organised by The Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment (GIDE)\, in collaboration with the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI)\, MyData Global\, and the Global Solutions Initiative (GSI). \n\n\n\nBe part of a Global Seminar on the Future of Digital Governance Let’s rethink digital governance through human-centred market mechanisms! In episode one\, we explored how GIDE principles can give digital citizens a stronger role in shaping how their data is used. Episode two shows how these ideas can work in practice through an EU-registered data intermediation service.fairsfair.io is an EU-registered data intermediation service that helps digital citizens stay in control of what they share by making sure data is only used for a specific\, agreed-upon purpose. Its approach supports clear\, transparent data flows without exposing personal information. Its model is already being applied in mobility and other sectors\, offering real-world lessons for creating safer\, more accountable digital markets.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers:– Dr. Paul Twomey\, Co-Chair\, Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment\, former CEO of ICANN.– Christopher Wilson\, Executive Director\, MyData Global.– Ferdinand Burgersdijk\, Founder\, fairsfair.ioSpeakers will explore how the fairsfair.io model makes data use clearer and more transparent\, how people can stay in control of what they share\, and how this approach can support the GIDE principles by enabling individual control\, trusted representation\, strong fiduciary duties and clear\, transaction-based negotiation between people and service providers. The series builds on GIDE’s Innovation in the Digital Economy Architecture (IDEA) framework. \n\n\n\nDate: 4 December 2025Time: 1 PM UTC | 2 PM CET | 8 AM US EST | 6:30 PM IST | Midnight Australian AEDT \n\n\n\nLearn more about the IDEA Framework:IDEA framework presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9SQZ32vLp0Policy brief on the model discussed in Episode One: https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/innovation-digital-economy-architecture-ensuring-regulatory-simplification-drives \n\n\n\nContact: ceo@thegide.orgSpots are limited.

SUMMARY:Changes in International Public Attitudes to Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Public attitudes toward AI are shifting fast. The new Carleton–CIGI–Ipsos survey shows widespread concern about trust\, safety\, fairness and control. Citizens across regions want clearer rules\, stronger accountability and credible mechanisms to govern AI and personal data use.  \n\n\n\nEpisode three of Digital Rules\, Human Values takes place on December 18 and examines these findings. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: • Dr. Paul Twomey\, Co-Chair\, Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment; former CEO of ICANN • Professor Fen Hampson\, Chancellor’s Professor and Professor of International Affairs\, Carleton University\, Canada; and co-author of the Public Attitudes on Digital Governance survey • Joshua Moffatt\, AI solutions architect \n\n\n\nSpeakers will discuss how the survey’s results should shape governance choices and how the IDEA framework can respond to what people say they need: transparency\, human agency and market structures that give individuals a meaningful role. \n\n\n\nThis series\, organised by the Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment (GIDE)\, MyData Global\, the Global Solutions Initiative (GSI)\, and the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI)\, aims to foster human-centred digital governance. We bring together global experts\, practitioners\, and policymakers to discuss practical solutions for safer digital services and greater user agency. \n\n\n\nThis is a participatory global forum for a constructive policy dialogue.Register now to be part of the conversation! \n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about the IDEA Framework: \n\n\n\nIDEA framework presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR1N8WAqwV4 \n\n\n\nPolicy brief on the model discussed in Episode One: https://lnkd.in/g2KXAQP7

Even your passengers are ‘tracked’\, if they are using Google Maps or streaming services. According to McKinsey\, the vehicle data market is set to skyrocket to $750 Billion. Wagoi is breaking this model by establishing a market where owners can control what data is shared and get rewarded every time they hit the road.  Let’s flip the script and put the power – and the value – back in consumers’ hands! \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nDr. Paul Twomey\, Co-Chair\, Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment\, former CEO of ICANN.\n\n\n\nMario Schraepen\, CEO\, WAGOI.\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers will discuss how drivers can regain control of their car’s data and how the IDEA Framework creates the conditions that make such control possible at scale. \n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about the IDEA Framework: \n\n\n\n\nIDEA framework presentation\n\n\n\nPolicy brief: Ensuring regulatory simplification drives innovation and growth\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Series\n\n\n\nDigital Rules\, Human Values brings together global leaders and practitioners exploring how digital governance can better serve human welfare.

SUMMARY:Digital Empowerment in Practice: From the MyData Declaration to MyTerms
DESCRIPTION:Digital Rules\, Human Values Seminar Series\, Episode 6 \n\n\n\n18 March 2026 | 12 PM UTC | 1 PM CET | 7 AM US EST | 5:30 PM IST | 11 PM AEDT \n\n\n\nLet’s rethink digital governance through human-centred market mechanisms. The IDEA framework is designed as a universal framework. Yet countries differ significantly in digital infrastructure\, regulatory capacity\, market structure\, and levels of technological development. \n\n\n\nAround the world\, individuals generate vast amounts of personal data but rarely have the ability to benefit from it or control how it is used. The MyData Declaration calls for putting people in control by creating infrastructure\, rules\, and platforms that empower individuals to access\, understand\, manage\, and share their data on their own terms. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, the MyData community and the Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment will explore how these principles translate into practice. The session will introduce ways to participate in MyData community thematic groups and activities\, and will highlight work to implement the MyTerms Standard (IEEE 7012) that enables individuals to set their terms for data sharing in online interactions. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\n– Dr. Paul Twomey\, Co-Chair\, Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment\, former CEO of ICANN.\n\n\n\n– Christopher Wilson\, Executive Director\, MyData Global\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about the IDEA Framework: \n\n\n\n\n– IDEA framework presentation\n\n\n\n– Policy brief: Ensuring regulatory simplification drives innovation and growth\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now
