This year, the forum will explore the future of our Internet together with our invited speakers of different backgrounds in the context of the on-going pandemic. This event consists of sharing, workshops, and panel discussions on a wide range of topics, including sustainability and the future of education, etc. We hope this event can help build up a sense of digital citizenship of youth in Hong Kong.

Theme: Reimagine the future of our Internet
Nowadays, the Internet has become a part of our lives since we can practically find and do anything on the Internet. During this pandemic, the Internet has become the primary means to maintain our daily life. While technology and the Internet have encouraged more digital activities,concerns over fraud, cybercrime, security and privacy in cyberspace are definitely rising.
As much as society enjoys the convenience of the Internet and technology, not many have enough awareness of the costs that are incurred in enjoying such convenience. As we are living in the new normal, there are certain things that we should be aware of and one of them is to protect our environment, and reimagine our future together.
