First yIGF Taiwan
In APrIGF Taipei 2016, they have yIGF for youth people in Asia Pacific. And we found to encourage more young generation to participate in IGF is very important. So this year we decide to have our first yIGF. We have 4 days for yIGF, and today is the second day. Because typhoon Maria made us to combine the first day and the second day together.
They will introduce those topic below today:
- History of Internet Governance
- Internet Ecosystem
- Internet Governance Issues includes cybersecurity, digital rights, human rights, digital economy and emerging technology, data protection, and so on.
- Role play, maybe ICANN meeting simulation, or to understand the internet ecosystem.

The other 2 days will let young attendee participate in TWIGF 2018
I can’t go to there today, but I believe it must have a lot of fun for those attendee.
