HUWY
Earlier today I went along to the e-Science Institute in Edinburgh to attend the launch of a new project aimed at getting young people talking about policies and laws which affect the Internet, to channel their ideas to the policy makers.
According to the delegate pack, the HUWY (Hub Websites for Youth Participation) project believes that young people are valuable expert stakeholders in current Internet governance issues like:
- cyberbullying
- child abuse and child safety
- freedom of speech and censorship
- privacy and phishing, security, identity, hacking, e-commerce
- file-sharing and copyright
