香港社會普遍對網絡管治比較新鮮，但原來在國際舞台上早已對此多加關注。作為一名中學生，參與聯合國網絡管治論壇的確是一種思想上的衝擊。

在IGF會場上眾持份者來自全球各地，他們都懷著同一信念：推動數碼化的多元社會。他們涵蓋不同專業領域，更於多年來累積寶貴經驗，而我這個地方青年大使，首次參與如此大型盛事，卻是相形見絀。然而，網絡管治論壇上的每位，異常歡迎像我一樣的新面孔，在圓桌上帶出年輕一代的觀點與角度，使光譜更為擴闊。青年的力量不能小覷，論壇裡不少工作坊都是由青年主導。我們在那裡交流經驗，取各地之長，補本地之短。短短數日活動，我已與不同人士結下了深厚友誼，成為了親切的伙伴和朋友。

The NetY Programme organized by NetMission and Chinese YMCA in 2013 was the precursor of HKYIGF for secondary students, which was the stepping stone for my involvement in internet governance. I faced a lot of difficulties in the process because the workshops were conducted in Cantonese but I had very supportive team mates and mentors that helped me along the way. 

Before joining the programme, I didn’t know anything about Internet Governance but doing the research essay and also attending the IGF 2013 in Bali has given me a lot of first-hand exposure. I have been in this journey for four years now.

Over the years, I have become a participant, an organizer, a speaker and now a MAG member because I received mentorship advice, training workshops and also participate in discussions. I hope that youth will continue to be involved in Internet Governance because it’s a very big area but each one is close to our lives and affect us in many different ways.

It is an extraordinary experience to jump into a facilitator role directly without ever being a participant. In general, I enjoyed dedicating myself into Internet Governance campaign. It is my pleasure to be part of NetMission of 2018 cohort and was granted this opportunity to make impacts on Internet Governance topics I am passionate about at HKyIGF 2019. I am glad that all of us have gained insights from the event. Looking forward to the next one in 2020!
