Digital Grassroots is a
youth initiative created to increase citizenship by Internet
Society youth fellows at the Internet Governance Forum 2017. It was developed to proactively engage youth in
addressing internet problems at a grassroots level.
Our website will feature news, keep you posted on our activities, and allow you to receive annotations
from Digital Grassroots leaders in the program. This year we will be working
on increasing Digital Citizenship in regions where internet access is comparatively low. Join our network to be part of these initiatives.
Our work, having a diverse board of directors and coming from different stakeholder groups in Internet Governance, is a demonstration that Digital Citizenship
has no borders. We come from different countries with different social,
economic and political challenges, but we are united by the conviction that
digital citizenship is the source of prosperity, justice, and equality and as
such we must do everything on our power to shape our digital future.
In recognizing the role of internet to accomplish the SDGs, we invite you to follow our updates and social networks. Being a part of our movement increases capacity building among youth and creates a collective voice on airing and working toward our needs as young people.
