Working title: Internet Governance and Policy making: cross-generational interviews
For newcomers the Internet Governance can be overwhelming with its working groups, procedures and hundreds of documents. Its ecosystem, made of thousands of people and organisations, can be even more so. And as it becomes increasingly complex and dynamic it risks withering the enthusiasm of young people approaching to it for the first time. Intergenerational dialogue and the transmission of knowledge by leading experts in Internet governance and policy-making can mitigate such impact. Young participants will have the chance to raise questions on how to effectively contribute to the ecosystem according to their background and experience, by asking questions about Internet Governance and the functioning of the ecosystem directly to the experts. Three experts will have the chance to share with young people how the Internet Governance changed and evolved over the past years, at the same time helping them navigate the ecosystem by answering the questions and by facilitating youth effective participation.
Format
This workshop is shaped on the classic speed-date. After a short introduction, young participants will be divided into four groups and assigned to an Internet pioneer, a regulator, an academic and an activist. Each expert will have 10 minutes of interaction and Q&As with one group and then shift to the next one.
