PODCAST
With the Youth IGF Podcasts, young people take the lead in discussing digital news and issues that matter. We believe in amplifying the voices of the next generation and encouraging critical thinking on the future of the internet.
Our podcast series, "27 minutes Inside Digital," features young people and experts sharing their perspectives and opinions on the latest digital trends.
Our "Special Talks" series invites influential speakers to go deeper into a particular topic for a more in-depth conversation.
Lastly, during the annual Internet Governance Forum, we host a series of podcasts where youth and special guests analyze current priorities and trends of the Forum.
