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

[Michael Oghia]

Absolutely! It's worth discussing how we could work more with NGOs,
governments, and schools to help bring things like media literacy training
to our various countries. In fact, we could even plan an entire session at
next year's SEEDIG solely on how to increase ICT skills and Internet
governance education in schools.

Best,
-Michael
