The Youth Internet Governance Forum (Youth IGF) in Bénin will take place on 18–19 July 2025 in Porto-Novo, under the theme ‘Empowering youth for an inclusive digital future.

Key elements of the programme will include:

  • Panel discussions and keynotes on topics such as digital inclusion, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies
  • Workshops and training sessions designed to build participants’ knowledge and skills in internet governance
  • Networking and peer-learning opportunities to support collaboration among youth and other stakeholders

The forum will bring together young people from across Bénin to discuss key digital issues and strengthen their role in internet governance processes. Participants are expected to develop recommendations and actionable proposals that reflect youth priorities in internet governance. These inputs may feed into national, regional, and global discussions, including broader West African IGF processes.
