Building the next generation of internet governance leaders
Rwanda School on IG is an initiative dedicated to introducing young people to internet governance concepts and practices. We believe the future of Rwanda's digital landscape depends on empowering students and young professionals to understand and shape internet policies that will impact their generation and beyond.
To create awareness and build capacity among students regarding internet governance, digital rights, cybersecurity, and digital economy. We aim to develop informed youth who can participate meaningfully in discussions about Rwanda's digital future and contribute to evidence-based policy development.
Our programs are designed for secondary school students, university students, and young professionals (ages 15-30) who are interested in technology, policy, and digital innovation. No prior knowledge of internet governance is required—just curiosity and willingness to learn.
