Overview 

The Caribbean Youth Internet Governance Forum (CYIGF) is a regional, multi-stakeholder event, designed by youth, for youth. The CYIGF, launched in 2022, falls within the Caribbean Telecommunication Union’s digital inclusion strategy, to support the development and inclusion of youth within the Caribbean’s digital development.  

As the fifth edition of its kind, CYIGF-26 continues to fill gaps in youth representation within the internet governance space. It will give youth the opportunities to join in shaping the Caribbean’s digital agenda and become the changemakers of tomorrow. CYIGF-263 will feature presentations and panels on internet governance, digital inclusion and artificial intelligence from a youth perspective, from a variety of speakers, each with different backgrounds. CYIGF-26 is co-hosted with the Caribbean Internet Governance Forum (CIGF), for which all participants, youth and otherwise, are invited to attend.
