The free online course for Digital Grassroots Ambassadors Cohort 4 will run from 10th June 2019 to 9th August 2019 (Including 4 weeks of mentorship)

 

The Internet Governance Forum that took place at the United Nations in Geneva from the 18th to the 21st of December 2017 had the theme: ‘Shape Your Digital Future.’ Internet Society Youth Fellows saw the need to increase youth participation in Internet Governance Issues. Even though we are digital natives, young people are secluded from the decision making table on policies and issues affecting the internet that has shaped and continue to shape our daily lives.

The Digital Grassroots Ambassador program is an initiative to accomplish the following goals:

  1. Build a positive narrative on youth participation in Internet Governance
  2. Engage youth in resolving internet relation problems at community level
  3. Introduce youth to participation in Internet Governance through mentorship
  4. Use Internet Literacy as a tool to accomplish Sustainable Developmental Goals

 

The Digital Grassroots Ambassador program will include:

  1. An Internet Literacy Coursework tailored to accomplish the SDGs
  2. A community engagement activity that will be done by selected Ambassadors
  3. A 4 week mentorship program with a mentor to induct Ambassadors to Youth Participation in Internet Governance
  4. The course is 100% Online

 

Successful Ambassadors will receive a certificate at the end of the program, an opportunity to share success stories and write articles related to internet on our website, forum and social platforms, and an exclusive mentorship program on how to engage as a youth in Internet Governance, and an opportunity to join the core team in a given capacity.
