The International Labour Organisation committee,

Conscious of the accelerating development of digital technologies and that they transform

the economy and social activities,

Considering that an inclusive participation of young people in this digital economy will
intrinsically bring sustainable development for a country, a region or more globally for the
world,

Stressing that all humanity can benefit from the advantages of digitalisation,

Affirming that advances in the digital economy should be used for the benefit of present and

future generations,

Noting that the misuse of digital technologies can lead to acts endangering human dignity by
information leakage,

Reaffirming the Declaration of Faith of June 10, 2008 on the "Declaration on Social Justice for
a Fair Globalization",

2. Proposes member States and big companies, with help from NGOs, to set up in schools:
