Background:
This November in Tunis, Tunisia, heads of state and governments, business leaders and civil society groups from around the world will gather for the 2nd Phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). They will discuss the issues and direction surrounding ICTs such as the digital divide.
Young people, as the largest stakeholders in ICTs and its implication will receive strong representation. The Canadian National Information Society Youth Campaign will gather input from Canadian youth to bring to these meetings. The national youth campaign highlights the need for youth participation in decision-making and policy process at WSIS and other such events.
The Event:
TakingITGlobal will hold a Youth Forum on the Information Society on Tuesday August 23rd from 5:30 – 8:30 at the Centre for Social Innovation in downtown Toronto. This is part of the National campaign which is holding similar forums in Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Vaughn and Vancouver. In the open forum, youth will explore how to strengthen youth presence in the information society. It will use roundtable discussions to create local and global action plans and recommendations, which TakingITGlobal will present at WSIS. The open forum also presents an opportunity to build a network among Canadian young people.
TakingITGlobal welcomes your applications for participation in the open forum. By representing your views and interests, this forum will be “Taking ICTs Local” by empowering local actions in the global policy process. Please send the below application to Deven Parmar by August 12th 2005 at deven@takingitglobal.org |
