[Chapter-delegates] A story from Libya ISOC

[Christine Saegesser]

Congratulations Amged and team indeed!

What an impressive achievement for one of our youngest Internet Society Chapters!
And great to see how this learning collaboration contributed to the overall journey of the participants.

@All please do let us know if similar trainings would be of interest to your local communities too. We’d be very happy to collaborate and support such efforts together with our Learning Team.

Best & congratulations again!

We are excited to announce the successful completion of the first edition of the Libya School on Internet Governance, marking a significant milestone in empowering a new generation of Internet defenders in Libya. The school began with four weeks of online training in Arabic, organized by the Internet Society (ISOC) and utilizing ISOC’s learning platforms, followed by an immersive three-day in-person session in Tripoli. Co-organized by ISOC Libya and the Annir Initiative, the program brought together 30 participants from diverse sectors from a competitive pool of 230 applicants, including the technical community, government, civil society, private sector, and academia. With 70% of participants coming from outside the capital city and a 50% gender balance, the school fostered inclusivity and representation. Over the course of the training, participants delved into critical topics such as the history of the Internet, data sovereignty, cybersecurity, privacy laws, and digital rights activism, equipping them with the tools to address the unique challenges of our digital era.

This achievement would not have been possible without the support of our partners, including the Internet Society, the Annir Initiative, and our local and international experts. Their dedication has been instrumental in empowering Libya’s Internet community and inspiring the next generation of Internet defenders. As our first cohort graduates, they stand ready to advocate for stronger, more inclusive Internet policies in Libya and beyond, engaging in regional and global forums to ensure Libya’s voice is heard on the international stage. This is just the beginning—together, we are building a brighter, safer digital future for Libya.
