Evaluation
The Caribbean Youth Internet Governance Forum (CYIGF) is a regional, multi-stakeholder event, spawned by the CTU’s CIGF, designed by youth, for youth. As the third ever of its kind, CYIGF 3 sets out to bridge gaps in youth representation and participation in regional internet governance initiatives and fora. It will give youth the opportunity to make their voices heard and inspire them to embed themselves within the internet governance community, becoming the changemakers of tomorrow. CYIGF 3 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 3 happens at the same time as the 20th CIGF, for which all participants, youth and otherwise, are invited to attend.
