CADE Youth Voices for Digital Rights Our younger generations of digital natives are the first to have their entire lives encoded in digital data. As the biggest user group on social media platforms, and those feeling the consequences of emerging technologies the most, young people are deeply impacted by how the digital world is governed. Yet, their rights are often overlooked, and their perspectives are often missing from internet governance forums. That’s what we want to change.Influence

Through mentorship, collaboration, and shared learning, these journalists will explore the intersection of media and civic action, highlighting how positive, people-centered storytelling can support trust, inspire engagement, and strengthen the enabling environment for civil society worldwide.
