Background

Hong Kong Youth Internet Governance Forum (HKyIGF) is a digital empowerment initiative for youth to exchange knowledge and thoughts about the Internet. The set of inclusive and interactive sessions with Internet policy practitioners, enthusiasts, and stakeholders invite digital natives to be involved in shaping the future of the Internet as they become aware of how Internet governance impacts their lives. HKyIGF promotes digital citizenship among youth by accentuating the Internet governance global discourse with relevant local context. By also amplifying local interests to the global stage, the Forum reinforces the multi-stakeholder model under the United Nations Internet Governance Forum (UNIGF) mandate.

What we have

We will provide event guidelines. The event offers great industry network, connection and surprising opportunities.

Why this is important

This is our annual event to support us continuously on public education on Internet Governance - we are representing Hong Kong youth annually in UN IGF network.
