ITU Generation Connect European Digital Youth Jam

​​​​ 

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Generation Connect Europe Youth Group (GC-EUR) is organizing the first ever Digital Youth Jam, to be virtually held on 3 December 2021.

This event aims to gather European youth leaders and organizations to discuss the GC-EUR Youth Declaration drafted and presented in early 2021 and covering topics such as capacity development, policy and regulation, cybersecurity, environment, and digital inclusion being an integral part of sustainable development; it aims at cooperation, the advancement of knowledge and innovation for social inclusion.

The event will be a grassroot platform for European Youth to gather, discuss, learn and network from each other. This event will serve as another step towards the journey of GC-EUR to the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC) to be held in June 2022 as well as the European Year of Youth 2022 as declared by the European Commission.

The outcomes of this event will be reported at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) 2021. More information on the GC-EUR group can be found here. ​​​​
