Two young Egyptians will represent Egypt in the ITU Youth Forum
which will provide a space of sharing and developing ideas.
At the ITU World Telecom 2006 in Hong Kong, Egypt presents the
Youth Forum – an initiative that focuses on CIT as a tool
for social and economic development. Launched at the ITU Telecom
Africa 2001, the forum offers both a regional and global platform
in which all ITU member states can develop, analyze, evaluate
and disseminate ideas as well as enhancing synergies between governments,
the private sector, universities and higher academic institutions
for the greater benefit of all.
Over two hundred and fifty young people from 150 countries are
expected to attend the Forum. The participants will follow a packed
programme of discussion and debate, with opportunities to interact
and develop mentor relationships with senior members of the ICT
sector — government officials, industry executives, technology
leaders, content providers and strategists.
The participants will elect their own leadership and, as a culmination
to the week, will draft and present a Declaration and Action Plan
conveying their global vision for expanding the benefits of ICT.
Additionally, they will also have the opportunity to take part
in ITU TELECOM WORLD 2006, learning about the array of new technologies
on display on the Show Floor as well as taking part in key sessions
at the main Forum.
