The NetMission Academy is a series of online sessions designed to equip youth with the knowledge and discussion skills to participate in Internet policymaking. This year, the organizing committee has expanded our program to include two pre-training webinars, followed by 7 training webinars and a closing ceremony, to provide a more all-around experience to participants.
This online academy is not a one-sided learning program. Selected fellows get a chance to interact with the invited speakers and conduct research on the assigned thematic topics and present their case studies in these workshops.
This year, we have received over 136 eligible applications from youth talents from 17 different economies. After a long and competitive selection process, we are glad to announce that 50 candidates from 13 economies, including Australia, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, have been selected to participate in our 3-month program.
