Digital tools and technologies make societies smarter, more efficient, better connected and informed. However, there are many digital divides, in terms of access, gender, age or content. WSA is a global initiative and purpose-driven community founded in the UN WSIS framework, highlighting digital solutions narrowing these divides and supporting young digital entrepreneurs and digital content developers from 180 UN member states. The "Hack the Digital Divide" pre-session will be an interactive knowledge transfer session, specifically addressing young people, listening to their perspectives, but also sharing information from different regions about Digital Divides and sharing concrete examples how to narrow them.
Join this session to learn from young digital social entrepreneurs, awarded WSA winners and hear their perspectives. Use of sli.do
