Youth IGF Initiatives and other youth capacity development initiatives

MORE


Youth IGFs exist in many parts of the world! They emerged organically and are organised by youth for youth! They are multistakeholder, open and transparent, inclusive and non-commercial when discussing the bottom-up priorities on Internet governance from their respected communities.

There are also a number of youth-focused capacity development initiatives.

In the coming newsletter editions, we are presenting you some of these!

Let us know if you would like to be described in the newsletter.

IGF 2021 host country: Poland  

Hi there YIGF Community!

As you know Poland will host 2021 edition of the Internet Governance Forum. Needless to say, we are much looking forward to see you in Katowice!

But in the meantime we hope for good pre-discussions, so we can work together on designing the best YIGF 2021 agenda.

Only now we are full of ideas for joint actions including thematic webinars, “My Internet of the Future” international competition (to be launched @ the beginning of the next year) and last but not least the exciting 48-hour long Game Jam Competition!, to be launched on 6th November, during IGF 2020 online edition. Participants from all over the world will compete to create the most unique and entertaining game.                                 

The registration for the Game Jam will open soon, with more information to follow on our official PL IGF 2021 webpage: www.igf2021.pl

Stay tuned and stay in touch!
