Excellent point, thanks! Also, I¹m told that the Quebec collective that succeeded in convincing the WSF organizing committee in Brazil was largely youth-led: http://www.fsm2016.org/en/support-the-world-social-forum-in-montreal/list-o f-groups-supporting-the-initiative/. I¹m wondering if it might be a good idea to send the link to your recent launch of the parents¹ blog re internet to the ISF list? -----Original Message----- From: "Livingstone,S" <S.Livingstone@lse.ac.uk> Date: Monday, May 25, 2015 at 11:10 AM To: Becky Lentz <roberta.lentz@mcgill.ca>, "air-l@listserv.aoir.org" <air-l@listserv.aoir.org> Subject: RE: Towards a people's Internet
Hi there - this is a great initiative. I would just like to point out, as 'we' write about 'the people' using the internet that fully one in three of them (as far as I can calculate) is aged under 18 and therefore children's particular needs, interests and voices should also be clearly counted within the 'we'.
Am writing a paper now to this effect - happy to receive thoughts and suggestions (or arguments against including children!)
All the best, Sonia
