Intergenerational dialogue on YOUthDIG Messages 2024
The increasing demand for young people to be recognised as stakeholders requires empowering youth in Internet Governance. This involves integrating younger topics, concerns, and perspectives that were previously underrepresented in such settings. To facilitate this inclusivity, a series of Intergenerational Dialogues brings together senior EuroDIG attendees, along with former and current YOUthDIG participants, providing an open and comprehensive platform to present youths' impressions on Internet Governance and discuss the Youth Messages.
Session description
This dialogue aims to bridge the gap between generations, fostering mutual understanding and collaborative efforts. During the session, youth participants (18-30 years of age) will reflect on the day's agenda and present the Youth Messages they have developed in the days leading up to EuroDIG. Senior experts in Internet-related policymaking and diplomacy will engage in a debate about these messages and provide their comments.
Join us at the Intergenerational Dialogue on 17 June for a deep dive into the current landscape of Internet Governance. The session will provide the latest updates on pivotal global events and initiatives, including WSIS+20, NETmundial+10, IGF Dynamic Coalitions, GDC, and more. Engage with experienced professionals and young enthusiasts in a dynamic Fireside Chat about the evolving ecosystem and how these initiatives are shaping the future of Internet Governance.
Format
During the first 15 minutes of the Intergenerational Dialogue, the YOUthDIG Organising Team will present the activities of YOUthDIG. During the following 30 minutes, members of the YOUthDIG cohort will engage in discussion with senior policymakers about their vision for the future of the Internet, including their reflections on the day's agenda, a Fireside Chat with high-level speakers, and a Q&A.
