The NetMission Academy is a series of online sessions designed to equip youth with the knowledge and discussion skills to participate in Internet policymaking. The program includes 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 130 applications from youth talents from 13 different economies. After a long and competitive selection process, we are glad to announce that 49 fellows from 13 economies, including Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan, are joining our 3-month program.
