Deadline: 6th November 2022 | Join this series of online sessions designed to equip youth with the knowledge and discussion skills to participate in Internet policymaking. The sessions will include two pre-training webinars, followed by 7 training webinars and a closing ceremony. These 1.5-hour workshops will be interactive discussion sessions, with expert guest speakers selected for each topic.
This online academy is not a one-sided learning program. Selected fellows will be assigned into thematic groups to research and prepare for the respective session as a host. All fellows are expected to actively contribute to discussions. We are looking for young visionaries who want to make a change for the betterment of the Internet and our community. If you are a student currently enrolled in any tertiary institutions within the Asia Pacific and are interested in how the Internet impacts society, this is the program for you. Read the FAQ.
Upon completion of the program, we offer motivated individuals a chance to further advance their understanding of Internet governance. Graduates of the academy will become NetMission Ambassadors, and work together with other NetMission alumni as a team to contribute to the Internet governance community through working groups, conference activities, and youth events.
