ACCESO Goes to Iquique, Chile for an IP for Kids Program

On June 24 and 25, 2010, ACCESO’s team visited the northern Chilean city of Iquique to execute its signature Intellectual Property Rights for Kids program. This public education program for at-risk kids is part of Proyecto ACCESO’s commitment to fighting Intellectual Property piracy.

Leading the team was ACCESO Communication Director Sebastian Vives and long-time team members Ricardo Amunategui, of Santiago de Chile, and Alejandro Gonzalez, originally from Cuba. Ricardo and Alejandro are both professors of animation arts at UNIACC in Santiago.

The program was funded with a grant from the U.S. Embassy in Chile in collaboration with the Chile office of International Federation of Phonographic Industries (IFPI). Since 2004, ACCESO and IFPI have partnered with the U.S. Embassy on a number of public education programs about IP rights and the dangers that piracy poses to the national patrimony and public health and safety in Chile.
