[governance] Fwd: IGF Academy announces fellows, commences work to build successful NRIs

Wed Sep 14 17:49:50 EDT 2016

Creo que es una iniciativa que trata de hacer conocer a los jóvenes  el
Gobierno de Internet.

Hasta el momento desde el 2009 no se conocen resultados óptimos o
de jóvenes que hallan organizado un o grupos de defensa o de investigación
de la Governanza de Internet como Derecho Humano de los pueblos.

Espero que algún día se organice en el Perú, si es así aquí estamos para
apoyar.

>> This is a fair point, Carlos. That said, the Youth at IGF programme

>>
>> When you ask for fluent English people under 25 you are talking about
>> English native speaking ‎people.
>>
>> It makes no sense to me.
>>
>> In several grants there are no people from our country and when I ask why

>>>>> Berlin, Colombo, Johannesburg, September 13th, 2016
>>>>>
>>>>> IGF Academy, a new initiative aiming to foster freedom of expression
>>>>> by strengthening Internet governance structures, has announced its fellows.
>>>>> Initiated by German NGO iRights and funded by the German Ministry of
>>>>> Economic Cooperation and Development, IGF Academy partners with APC and
>>>>> LIRNEasia to provide support to 16 fellows from Africa and Asia for
>>>>> building or enhancing their nation’s IG infrastructures.
>>>>>
>>>>> IGF Academy kicked off in August with two regional workshops. Fellows
>>>>> from Congo (Brazzaville), Namibia, Togo and South Africa met in
>>>>> Johannesburg, their colleagues from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and Sri
>>>>> Lanka convened in Colombo. Short biographies of the fellows can be found on
>>>>> IGF Academy’s website at http://igf.academy/#fellows
>>>>>
>>>>> Main goal of the workshops was for fellows to start the development of
>>>>> strategic roadmaps for their national IG processes and to provide fellows
>>>>> with a platform to collaborate with their peers. Experts provided input on
>>>>> IG basics, stakeholder mapping, fundraising and communications strategies,
>>>>> and logistics organisation.
>>>>>
>>>>> The roadmaps are focused on enhancing freedom of expression by
>>>>> improving the already existing Internet governance processes, or by
>>>>> creating such processes in the fellows’ countries. Additionally, the IGF
>>>>> Academy aims to strengthen ties between local and regional Internet
>>>>> governance stakeholders and freedom of speech experts, and to provide
>>>>> concrete steps for multistakeholder participation in the global United
>>>>> Nations IGF. The IGF Academy thus contributes to a local, (cross)regional
>>>>> and UN global dialogue on freedom of expression and information.
>>>>>
>>>>> “We are happy to see such a highly qualified and motivated group of
>>>>> experts in their respective fields take on the challenges of strengthening
>>>>> freedom of speech by enhancing Internet governance processes in their
>>>>> countries,” said Matthias Spielkamp, board member at iRights and Project
>>>>> Lead for IGF Academy.
>>>>>
>>>>> “The interdependence of Internet governance and media regulation is
>>>>> still not seen clearly in many countries, and here I am explicitly not just
>>>>> talking about the Global South. So I’m excited that we can provide fellows
>>>>> with a genuine opportunity to work on the interface of these issues, with
>>>>> the expectation that this in the long run will strengthen both,” adds
>>>>> Lorena Jaume-Palasí, senior project manager at IGF Academy.
>>>>>
>>>>> The IGF Academy will hold online meetings with the fellows as well as
>>>>> provide webinars to assist them with the finalization of their strategy
>>>>> roadmaps until the upcoming global IGF. It will support all fellows to
>>>>> attend the IGF, to be held from 6 to 9 December in Guadalajara, Mexico, and
>>>>> will organise a meeting on-site prior to the global IGF to prepare the
>>>>> fellows to participate in the forum.
>>>>>
