For an hour of time, participants on site and online and speakers will have exchanges around the theme. Previous questions studied and prepared by the organizing team will be asked to the speakers for 30 minutes. the last 30 minutes will be free exchanges under the supervision of moderators

    Expected Outcomes: - Raise awareness of this threat to young Internet users
    - Talk about actions that are already taking place
    - Share existing good practices

    This session will deal with a theme that affects youth. For once the session is validated, we will take the time to communicate on social networks to prepare participants online for the session. We will also provide a live tweet during the session in addition to using the official IGF platform.

    Relevance to Theme: This workshop is in keeping with the theme because it will allow us to reflect on the urgency of informing young users, especially African users, about digital hygiene and the protection of their data on the internet.

    Relevance to Internet Governance: This workshop is part of the governance of the Internet because promoting Internet access for all without educating and raising awareness does not ensure secure internet access

    Online Participation

    This official online plateform will help us to facilitate interactions between online participants and speakers.

    Proposed Additional Tools: We are planning to also use Twitter with the official hashtag for the annoucement and during the session.
