>
> This time, the Youth at IGF programme supports a crucial leadership

>
>
>
> *Background*
>
>
>
> Early in 2015, the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br
> <http://cgi.br/>) 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.
>
>
>
> Both CGI.br <http://cgi.br/> 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 at 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.
>
>
>
> Since then, and together with our partners – NIC.MX, 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 at 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.
>
>
> 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.
>
> Best of luck;
>
