This is a dissemination event for the HUWY project, which aims to get young people talking about policies and laws which affect the Internet and channel their ideas to governments and parliaments, national and EU. HUWY pilots a distributed discussion model to achieve this, with people exploring and discussing the themes in their own online spaces.

The event marks the launch of the Hub websites designed to support this process and the beginning of the interactive phase of the HUWY project.

The aim of the event is to bring together young people and policy-makers in a format where young people can begin to share their experiences of the Internet, as they have grown up with it. This would confirm young people as valuable expert stakeholders in complicated current governance issues like cyberbullying, child abuse and paedophilia, ID theft, privacy, phishing and file-sharing.

The event will be shared live online and some international participation will take place remotely.
