The voice for privacy and access
IGFs are a space for dialogue and discussion about the Internet and its evolution around the world. To date, Canada has not had a Youth IGF. As distinct Internet stakeholders, youth have grown up with the Internet, helped shape its development, but not necessarily been widely consulted on its growth and permeation in Canada. The Canada Youth IGF works to change this trajectory by bringing youth in Canada together, both in-person and virtually, for a day to discuss some of the most pressing Internet governance challenges in Canada.
Developed by Youth IGF Canada, Canada’s recognized Youth IGF Coordinator by the United Nations Global IGF, and co-hosted by The Dais at Toronto Metropolitan University, this event will build the leadership, knowledge, and networks of the Canadian youth Internet community.
