[icann-see] [Was: Apply now Balkan School on Internet Governance] Few questions to consider

[Liljana Pecova]

Hi everyone,

thanks all for opening up the question of School -like initiative. I was
considering the same after EURODIG's meeting since we all urge and pledge
for the need for establishing here (in SEE and Macedonia especially) kind
of a Center for Internet for youngsters. I have been educating high school
students on safe internet and data protection issues for four years, but as
each year the graduates are leaving I am thinking of the way to retain
those target groups and educated students to continue the process of
peer-to peer education. So, to answer your question more precisely, YES, we
do need kind of an education-initiative and support to establish it. I
would be very much grateful if this could be discussed and take it into
consideration. I would be very happy if there is a possibility for this
idea to be supported.

best,
Liljana
