On Monday 25th the Internet Governance Forum 2019 will begin in Berlin with a High Level Internet Governance Exchange. By invitation of the German Federal Minister for Economy and Energy more than 30 Ministers from around the world will gather with representatives from the private sector, civil society and the technical community. They will discuss matters of Data Governance, Safety and Security, and Digital Inclusion in order to make a significant contribution to the debates at the IGF.
Children’s rights and child protection have gained high awareness in the Internet Governance eco-system over the years since the Dynamic Coalition on Child Online Safety started their work in Rio in 2007.
We have produced a schedule of those sessions addressing aspects of children and youth growing up in a digital environment to make it more convenient for you to take part either on-site or online via a remote hub.
Within the IGF week we will report daily from the event with a spezial focus to these sessions.
Watch this space to stay on track.
