Internet Governance – Activating and Listening to the Voice of Tweens
Both the Cyber Peace Initiative (CPI), and Childnet International are running projects designed to engage with young people about Internet governance to make sure that the voice of tweens is heard at the IGF. Both projects aim to ensure that children and young people are equipped use the Internet safely and responsibly, but also believe that it is important to discuss the ethical issues associated with the Internet at a young age to help shape young people to grow up as responsible and pro-active e-citizens.

The workshop was an opportunity to hear the voice of the tweens on the topic of Internet governance, with the inclusion of young people as speakers and through video presentation. Through including young people in the session this way, delegates were not only able to learn from them but were also be issued with a series of challenges from young people reflecting their experiences and thoughts on Internet Governance. Young participants were offered the opportunity to consider what their rights are online and to express these thoughts, alongside an insight into international documents and treaties protecting their rights on line.
Panelists included the project co-ordinator for the Youth IGF Project from Childnet International, a representative from the CPI of the Suzanne Mubarak Women’s International Peace Movement, Egyptian tweens and the voice of tweens from the UK which was captured in film and shown as an integral part of the session.
