Inspiring youth of today and digital leaders of tomorrow. Read about Generation Connect’s exciting collaboration with this group!
Generation Connect encourages global youth to participate as equal partners alongside the leaders of today’s digital change. Led by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the initiative empowers young people with skills and opportunities to advance their vision of a connected future.
The Generation Connect Video Pitch competition was launched as part of the ITU Innovation Challenges 2021 to encourage diverse young people to share their ideas about connecting the unconnected to close the digital divide. ITU received video pitches from youth around the world, each of which presented innovative solutions towards closing the digital divide. A selection committee of ITU experts was convened to review the submissions based on the pre-set evaluation criteria.
Youth and Media’s new report focuses on youth engagement — from co-design to participatory research. The paper, inspired by results from ITU 2020 Youth Engagement Survey and informed by different implementation pilots, highlights four youth participation models.
The ITU Generation Connect is a new initiative that catalyses youth action for digital transformation, gives young people a voice & opportunity to be empowered, engaged & to participate to advance the digital development agenda for present & future generations.
