Description:
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is a 2-part UN Summit that takes place in Geneva in 2003 and in Tunis in 2005. The 1st World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) will be held in Geneva, in December 2003, organized by the United Nations. It seeks to provide a framework for governments, non-government organizations and associations, companies and others to address the following question: What values and actions do we embrace to ensure that the Information Society becomes a vehicle for democracy, justice, equality, and respect for personal and social development?
Young people have been actively participating in the WSIS process so far. The First Preparatory Committee meeting held in Geneva, July 1-5, 2002, saw the formation of the Youth Caucus, bringing together all the young people participating in the meeting to coordinate activities and prepare positions on procedures, and content and themes.
The Pakistan Youth Caucus aims to mainstream Pakistani youth perspectives into civil society, private sector, and government input throughout the WSIS process.
Young people active in the Caucus include members of youth organizations, youth-led small enterprises, and youth movements that operate access centers, run community media initiatives, and develop technology applications; student organizations representing educational concerns; and other young people active at an international level, for example national youth councils, UNESCO-affiliated groups, Independent Media Centers, and World Social Forum youth affiliates.
