Generation Connect – Europe Youth Group Declaration

The ITU Youth Strategy aims to improve and have a real impact on the lives of young people around the world, and to ensure meaningful participation of youth in ITU as key stakeholders in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In line with the Strategy, European Youth have been called upon to contribute to the preparatory process for WTDC-21, in particular the Regional Preparatory Meeting (RPM) for Europe, through the establishment of the “Generation Connect - Europe Youth Group”.
The Members of the Europe Youth Group, consisting of 24 youth aged between 18 and 24, have been tasked to develop a document providing their views on the regional priorities of relevance to the Europe region, as an input to the RPM for Europe. This video summarizes the Declaration which identifies five thematic priorities as primary (capacity development, policy and regulation, cybersecurity, environment, and digital inclusion) while recognizing the importance of several other thematic priorities.
