Events

EuroDIG 2022

YCIG is organizing an online Day 0-session at EuroDIG 2022: 'A celebration
of youth voices in Internet Governance
<https://eurodigwiki.org/wiki/Pre_07_2022>' (
https://eurodigwiki.org/wiki/Pre_07_2022) on 20 June 2022. To participate
in our session, apply now for the European Dialogue on Internet Governance,
taking place from 20-22 June 2022, here
<https://www.eurodig.org/get-involved/register-for-eurodig-2022/> (
https://www.eurodig.org/get-involved/register-for-eurodig-2022/).

"The session will first focus on achievements of young people and youth
initiatives in the field over the past year and the goals for the upcoming
year to further increase youth involvement. This will take place in the
form of a good practice exchange, discussing what has been achieved last
year and what are the lessons learned. Furthermore, there will be a
discussion on why it is important to actively involve young people in
Internet Governance work. The discussion will focus on how to create common
platforms of thought and experience exchange between the different youth
initiatives. Currently there is still a lack of coordination between youth
organisations, which hinders the development of the ideas and perspectives
that the youth brings to this field. The goal of this discussion is to
encourage collaboration among youth from different regions, to ensure the
internet governance discussion process is inclusive with the voice of the
youth."
