[NCUC-DISCUSS] Youth for Rights @ IGF day 0

[Szeming]

Dear all,


My application with Bruna and friends for IGF day 0 approved by the
secretariat! (It probably the only one day 0 events about youth, other than
ISOC's) Unfortunately, Citizenlab just got back to me that their donor do
not have sufficient funding to support my travel. But I have decided to put
in application for NCUC's travel grant.


The idea of this event is to prep the youth/young people who going to IGF
for some basic ideas, which can help them to relate more to the IGF itself.
We did one pilot programme during RightsCon early this year, the framework
pretty much works for the young participants who first time attending
Internet/digital related conference. I have done a daily check-in
personally with the Y4R participants in rightscon, I got the feedback that
the programme helps them understand more the topics discussed during the
main conference.


So, I hope I can have NCUC friends support on this and give us some idea
how can make it works more better. I'm planning to have this as part of
NCUC outreach as well. Will do a rough plan on how Y4R can related more to
NCUC.


Also, as knowing the cost to Geneva is pretty high, I think I have to look
for some trainer or speaker (whatever you like to call) from NCUC friends
who is going to be there. Especially Niels, Tatiana, Louise and Ayden.
