Dear Colleagues,
The IGF 2022 Youth Track culminated with the IGF 2022 Global Youth Summit hosted in Addis Ababa. Dozens of Youth IGFs and young people delegated by the national, sub-regional and regional IGFs worked hard throughout the year to unpack policy aspects of
digital transformation. Long-term, the track resulted in wonderful connections between young leaders from around the world.
Several important messages youth sent to the world shortly after the Global Youth Summit. Thanks to the rapporteurs
(Ines Hfaiedh, Cynthia Chepkemoi, Thoko Miya, Elisabeth Schauermann, Stella Teoh, Ananda Gautam, Phyo TL and Afi
EDOH) the messages are available at the IGF website. They are an integral part of the final IGF 2022 Summary Report, which is now being formatted. It will be widely disseminated to stakeholders across the world. Please see the
messages
here.
How do we want to shape the IGF 2023 Youth Track based on the experience and lessons learnt from this year? Please do share your advice to guide us through the IGF
Takingstock Call open until 16 January 2023.
I use this opportunity to thank all of you for active support to youth track, to all the youth IGF leaders involved in the organization of the track,
listed here,
to all the speakers, moderators and rapporteurs of the four capacity development workshops and the Global Youth Summit.
Best regards,
Anja
