Dear Afralo Members,
This mail comes to announce the commencement of registration for the West African Youth Internet Governance Forum. The West Africa Youth Internet Governance (WAYIGF) is a sub-regional initiative under the United Nations Internet Governance Forum. It exists first and foremost to provide a platform for youth in West Africa to contribute to discussions on Internet-related issues from where it affects them the most as young people. To enable this, the initiative engages in capacity building activities to offer youth the opportunity to learn, be informed and better equipped to contribute meaningfully to such discussions.
While youth are the largest demographic group on the Internet, they are still underrepresented at the Internet Governance Forum. We believe that young people have a high knowledge of the digital world they interact with daily and therefore deserve to play a stronger role in decision making, and policy processes regarding the Internet.
This year the WAYIGF will be hosted in Freetown, Sierra Leone. 50+ young people from all over West Africa will gather for the 1-day Summit on July 22, 2020, to discuss key topics on Internet governance and policy, network with experts, and draft the 2020 Youth Messages. These messages are policy recommendations and will be presented at WAIGF, and the Africa Internet Governance Forum.
If you are interested in Internet policies, want to contribute to trending topics in media, innovation, cybersecurity, human rights, literacy and more, apply to participate! Eligibility criteria:
- between 18-30 years old;
- residing in a West Africa Country
- participate in preliminary webinars (dates TBA)
- Show interest in Internet governance, and motivation to actively participate in WAYIGF.
