IGF 2014 sub theme that this workshop fall under Enhancing Digital Trust |
Description Where there is governance, there are citizens. No Internet governance discussion is complete without discussion among citizens about digital citizenship. On today's highly participatory Internet, many of the citizens are youth. This workshop follows our successful Baku workshop in which more than 30 participants spoke, nearly all of them youth from multiple countries. It will be a highly participatory, multidirectional discussion rather than a one-way panel presentation. |

Description of how the proposer plan to facilitate discussion amongst speakers, audience members and remote participants
We had 65 attendees in our session in Baku with over 30 of them taking to the microphone at least once. A link to the transcript is below, and it clearly demonstrates that our session was undoubtedly the most interactive session of the meeting, and our plan is to try and replicate that. Essentially, there will be no presentations and no panelists. There will be thought-provoking questions raised by the discussion facilitators and a conversation among audience members. |
Description of the proposer's plans for remote participation
Prior to the events in Istanbul, we will undertake a global social media effort to publicize the workshop among youth and organizations focused on Digital Citizenship efforts. We will take advantage of the global resources and relationships of ConnectSafely and their supporters such as Microsoft and their nearly 1.5 million Facebook and Twitter followers to ensure that there is sufficient awareness of our session. |

Brief substantive summary of the workshop and presentation of the main issues that were raised during the discussions
"Digital citizenship" is a concept and practice that grew out of the online child protection field and continues to gain momentum. This was the 5th IGF workshop on the subject since Vilnius in 2010. Our aim is a workshop that models citizenship in the digital age by featuring the perspectives of youth and engaging all participants in a highly interactive, "citizen-sourced" discussion. Youth from Hong Kong, Denmark, UK, Ireland and Germany and people of all ages from nearly 20 countries in Africa, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East, North and South America and the Subcontinent discussed the emerging characteristics of digital citizenship –participatory, iterative, citizen-sourced, powered by the digital-age literacies (digital, media and social literacy) and involving rights, responsibilities and constructive engagement. |
Conclusions drawn from the workshop and possible follow up actions
A key characteristic of digital citizenship is that it changes with the citizens, who define and co-create it as they learn and grow. So this is an open-ended workshop subject. The workshop is about gauging consensus and learning together as one another's perspectives are shared. Other key findings, if not conclusions, of the workshop is that intercultural understanding is becoming a core competency or literacy of citizenship (both online and offline) in this networked world and that Internet access is a key affordance, if not right, of citizens of all ages worldwide, because - without it - both participation and access to information are restricted. |
