” It’s really important to increase the role of young people and to see how they can really lead this movement. We firmly believe in a multi-stakeholder approach and at the European Commission we try to promote very concrete project for young people. “
EU Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, Mariya GABRIEL, IGF2017
Youth IGF Movement is not about a school, a one-off event, a conference.
We are the youth in movement!
WE WORK TO IMPROVE LIVES LOCALLY
Even one life touched by digital development is the success for us
” I would particularly like to commend the work of the Youth IGF, a network of young people in developed and less developed countries who are active in their local communities and in the online space. “
Julie WARD, Member of the European Parliament
