Drawing from the success of the 22nd Infopoverty World Conference, here is a little recap if you missed it!
With the title “The Digital Citizen: from digital communities to real society, how the process could be implemented on terms of participation and global wellness and freedom”, the first session of the XXII Infopoverty World Conference gathered together eminent speakers’ perspectives to shed light on the transformative process underway with ICTs and digital technologies being the main protagonists of change. In this context, heterogeneous projects were brought to the table as exemplary instances to guide the current changing paradigm in line with the SDGs, the operative compass promoted by the United Nations, as the Agenda 2030. From rapid urbanization to sustainability, from private to public broadcasting efforts, from national and international policy and advocacy to children’s rights, from climate change to food-security, what all the statements by the eminent personalities who intervened during this first session had in common was the urge and the importance to guide the undergoing digital transformation that is encompassing all sectors of our Society towards an inclusive, fairer and sustainable digital habitat leaving no one behind and guaranteeing the respect of human rights for all.
