Introduction
The NetMission Academy is an initiative wherein various online sessions are designed to impart knowledge and interaction skills to the youth and equip them to participate in Internet Policymaking. There are a total of 10 workshops of 1.5 hours each (2 pre-training, 7 training and a closing ceremony). In each of these engaging sessions, expert will speak on the selected topic.
This interaction is not one-sided; the participants will be divided into several groups wherein a specific group will be assigned to research on the topic of the day and host the session. We are looking for young talents with a vision, with a perspective, who actually want to bring a change for a better tomorrow. We anticipate a positive contribution from every selected participant. All students enrolled in institutions within the Asia Pacific are eligible for participation. This program belongs to you if you’re intrigued by the impact of internet on our lives.
Individuals who are really serious and interested about internet governance will be offered chances to advance further once the program is completed. Fellow participants who graduate from our academy will become NetMission Ambassadors and get chance to work with other alumni of the organization. Several youth events, workshops and conferences will be organized for the teams to work together with the aim of an ideal internet governance. All the information regarding it is available here on 2023recruitment.com.
