<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;">A bit of background: Early in 2015 the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br) identified as a desired outcome of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) an increase in Latin
America and the Caribbean (LAC) youth participation in the Internet governance processes and the meeting specifically. Both CGI.br and Internet Society (ISOC) have extensive experience in providing capacity building on Internet governance through online courses
and fellowships to previous IGFs. Therefore, the two organizations combined efforts to create the LAC Youth@IGF program to empower the next generation of leaders and increase the participation of young voices (age 18-25) from LAC in the debates about Internet
Governance.</font></div>
