APrIGF 2022 Overarching Theme, People at the Centre: Envisioning a community-led Internet that is inclusive, sustainable and trusted.
The use of technology and the Internet for supporting livelihoods during the COVID-19 pandemic has become central to people’s lives. As a result, there is also a greater urgency to regulate these technologies to manage their impact on our lives. Have we become part of the digital world but lost sight of real connections? Has the digital divide worsened or improved during this time? What would a people-centric Internet look like? As the world opens up again and people reconnect, it is time to go back to the basics: by putting people in the centre of decision-making and multistakeholder discussions, and re-evaluating whether technology is being used in the best interest of humans.
Any Internet user with interest in Internet public policy, technical operations, development etc. is eligible to submit a session proposal for APrIGF. Interested session organizers should review the evaluation criteria below and the various session formats carefully before submitting a proposal. Examples of successful session proposals can be found in Section VII.
Please be reminded that all proposals must be submitted through the online platform. Any other format will not be accepted as official submission.
