What are your goals for OA Week?

Until now my colleagues and I have been self-taught in the subject and we
have drawn lines of research and work according to the local contexts where we work
according to the needs of each project, supporting us in access to digital books, videos
from youtube, TED Talks. That is why we consider vital for those of us that have made
the decision to keep working in Venezuela and that we use technology to maintain the
values of transparency, freedom of expression and empowerment, to access and
become part of a network of major players in these global issues, both to bring and
share our work beyond our borders and to receive knowledge, training and support to
take it to all actions we do and that we consider important for the citizens of Venezuela.
Likewise, I want to strengthen the professional connections so that I can be part of the
IG community and give our contributions of our local experience and access to new
spaces.
