Stewardship and community partnerships
This page explains the terms Vocapi proposes for courses developed with language communities, teachers, and cultural organizations.
Listen before building.
How the model works
Vocapi is an independent commercial project. Mission-supported courses pair free core access with explicit standards for consent, community authority, rights, attribution, correction, and withdrawal. Publishing those standards lets prospective collaborators judge the model on its actual terms.
Terms for mission-supported courses
These commitments apply when Vocapi works with a community, organization, teacher, or rights holder on mission-supported language material.
- 01
Core access stays free
No course paywall, expiring trial, or advertising inside a mission-supported course.
- 02
Consent is ongoing
Approval is not a one-time checkbox. Scope, use, and future changes remain discussable.
- 03
Rights are specific
Every contributed source needs a defined owner, permitted use, attribution, and term.
- 04
Review has consequences
Partners can correct representation, challenge framing, and stop unsuitable material.
- 05
Withdrawal is real
A partnership agreement must define how contributed material can be removed.
- 06
No hidden AI rights
Content is not licensed for model training or third-party resale without explicit consent.
This direction follows UNESCO's ethical principles for living heritage, including a primary community role and free, prior, sustained, and informed consent.Read the UNESCO principles
How a partnership would work
The process changes to fit the people and rights involved. These are the minimum stages, not a claim that one template can govern every language community.
- 1
Listen and establish authority
Understand the language goals, who has standing to decide, and who should benefit.
- 2
Write down rights and boundaries
Agree on ownership, permitted uses, credit, compensation, review, and withdrawal.
- 3
Build and review together
Use Vocapi's course tools while the appropriate speakers and teachers shape the content.
- 4
Keep the correction path open
Launch is the start of maintenance, not the end of community authority.
Roles and responsibilities
A partner may bring
- Authority about how the language is represented
- Teaching goals and community priorities
- Language expertise and contextual judgment
- Rights-cleared text, audio, or other material
- Review, correction, and governance
