Cohort 3

 03 September – 26 October 2018

To connect native French speaking youth to our Ambassadors program, this cohort of the program was hosted entirely in French. Digital Grassroots Ambassadors Program introduces youth from underrepresented communities to internet governance issues and provides a pathway for the youth to engage their local community on activities that promote digital citizenship. Through the program mentorship, participants leverage connections with internet governance experts and learn how to contribute to shaping internet policies as newcomers.
