Many young people are the generation that’s been using the Internet since they were children, and they are the ones who will be using it for the next 50 years.
Young people are shaping online culture in so many ways. They use the Internet to meet people around the world, create the videos that go viral, they create art that moves us and start and stand behind online social movements that make us think.
They are building their dream Internet. And you are the one of them.
The Youth Observatory was founded in September 2015 and joined the Internet Society as Special Interest Group (SIG) since 2016. It is formed mostly of young people between 18 and 25 years from different countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Youth people need a space where they can have a conversation about what they want the Internet to look like.
When it comes to Internet governance, we don’t need young people to be the future.
We need them to be part of the present.
[email protected] Program is one of the ways we’re making that happen.
In celebration of the Internet Society’s 25th anniversary in 2017, we launched the “25 Under 25” initiative.
The aim of the initiative was to celebrate young people around the world who are taking action and using the Internet as a force for good.
