<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size:11pt">Background</span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Early in 2015, the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (<a href="http://cgi.br/" target="_blank">CGI.br</a>) identified as a desired outcome of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) an increase in Latin America and the Caribbean
(LAC) youth participation in the Internet governance processes and the meeting specifically. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Both <a href="http://cgi.br/" target="_blank">CGI.br</a> and
Internet Society have extensive experience in providing capacity
building on Internet governance through online courses and fellowships
to previous IGFs. Therefore,
the two organizations combined efforts to create the LAC Youth@IGF
program to empower the next generation of leaders and increase the
participation of young voices (age 18-25) from LAC in the debates about
Internet Governance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Since then, and together with our partners – <a href="http://NIC.MX" target="_blank">NIC.MX</a>,
the Government of Mexico, Microsoft and Verizon – we have brought more
than 130 youth from all around the world to IGF 2015 and 2016 under the
Youth@IGF
programme, as part of our commitment to ensure the next generation of
Internet leaders are primed to advance an Internet of opportunity for
all.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></p>
<span style="font-size:11pt">As a result of these
efforts, many of these young people are now contributing to the Youth
SIG and to regional meetings, such as the African Internet Summit,
EuroDIG, and others.<br><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt">Best of luck;<span class="m_-1726324138980481828HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></span></div><span class="m_-1726324138980481828HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><div><div><br>-- <br><div class="m_-1726324138980481828m_6355912933940811110gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><font size="1">Evelyn Namara<br>Policy Outreach Fellow<br></font></div><font size="1">Internet Society<br></font><span><font size="1">Mobile: <a href="tel:+256%20754%20440893" value="+256754440893" target="_blank">+256754440893</a> | <a href="tel:+256%20771%20366479" value="+256771366479" target="_blank">+256771366479</a></font></span></div><div><font size="1">Email: <a href="mailto:namara@isoc.org" target="_blank">namara@isoc.org</a><br></font></div><div><font size="1"><a href="http://www.isoc.org/" target="_blank">http://www.isoc.org/</a><br><br></font></div><font size="1"></font></div><font size="1">Skype: enamara</font><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
