About
The Youth Dialogue on Internet Governance (YOUthDIG) is a yearly pre-event to the European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG) aimed to foster active youth participation.
This year, both meetings were planned at the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy.
Due to the spread of COVID-19 no face-to-face YOUthDIG is possible. Instead we will conduct a webinar series with all selected participants. There will be thematic webinars on:
- The Internet Governance ecosystem (May 2)
Guest Speaker: Sandra Hoferichter
- Online activism and decentralized human rights work (May 10)
Guest Speaker: Giorgio Menella
- Media and content with a focus on countering disinformation and safety online (May 16)
Guest Speaker: Daniel Rzasa

Before his assignment at Google he worked across a variety of newsrooms in Poland and the UK and was published in many national and international outlets, such as HFMWeek, Citywire, Visegrad Insight and Financial Times, among others.

- Youth participation in Internet Governance (in cooperation with YCIG) (June 6)
The webinars are not public. The outcome will be the Youth Messages 2020.
