Can anyone here get their voice into this thing?
It would seem like a good thing to get involved in and to pass your
opinions through to me.

Dear all,
I write to let you all know about an exciting project that Childnet
International is running - "The Youth IGF Project"
The 'Youth IGF Project' aims to capture children and young people's
opinions, thoughts and wishes about the future of the Internet, and then
to feed these directly into the Internet Governance Forum (IGF).
To reach the widest possible audience in a short space of time, Childnet
have created primary and secondary project packs for schools who want to
get involved in the project and would welcome as wide participation as
possible. We have also created a film to support the secondary lessons.
This can be viewed and downloaded from our Youth IGF Project YouTube
channel (http://www.youtube.com/YouthIGFProject ),
All schools returning survey material will be entered into a prize draw
for a free e-safety session to be held in January 2010. Youth responses
that particularly stand out will be featured in a video to be presented
in Egypt and young people may also be asked to consider contributing to
discussions in Parliament on this topic .
The project packs contain lesson plans and instructions for running
lessons - and are a perfect afternoon activity in the run-up to the end
of term.
We hope that many of you will engage in this project and Ellen (
address@hidden ) and Lucinda ( address@hidden )in the Childnet
office are happy to answer any further questions.
The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) a UN mandated meeting in the Autumn.
The IGF is a four day international gathering that gives governments,
the internet industry, organisations and individuals the space to debate
what should happen to the Internet in the coming years thinking
specifically about Access, Openness, Diversity and Security.
Historically the IGF has had little input from young people. Childnet's
Youth IGF Project aims to capture the voice of young people so that the
it can be represented at the forum in November.
Many thanks,
Will
