 learned and collaborated lots. Now we're going to have the wrap-up of the day. This is going to be a wrap-up for the be smart, be safe theme. And I would like to introduce Deborah Taylor Tate, ITU Special Envoy for Child Online Protection, who's going to be facilitating the conversation, as well as Marta Santos-Pais, Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary General on Violence Against Children. Thank you. Thank you all, and welcome back. This is the closing, as you all know, for today. Great work this afternoon. Every breakout session I went in was overcrowded, and packed, and exciting things were going on. So we're looking forward to hearing back from you all. If you all would, please help me thank our sponsors and our partners, Penamore, Microsoft, UNICEF, and Disney. Let's give them a round of applause. They enabled this very important day to occur, so we thank them. We're also very thrilled, and you all saw just a tidbit of it a moment ago, that our Mexico hub is going to be present. And so I would like to call up Doug Court. Doug? Doug? I hope we're going to find Doug at some point. OK, when Doug walks into the room, this is going to be casual, obviously, this afternoon. So when Doug comes into the room, we'll try to pull the hub up. But what's so exciting about this, as you all know, there are hubs around the world that are working on the same issues that you all are. So in some, they're groups of people. In some places, they're just individuals. And so it is so exciting to know that all the work that you all are doing here is actually being replicated in countries all around the world. And we're thrilled to have their participation as well. I'm sure some of you all, like I, have been following on Twitter what's going on in other places. Doug? No, Doug. Miguel. Is Miguel here? Could you come up and introduce the hub for us? Maybe. Just talk about the hub for a while and how much these great people are working in Mexico and how much we appreciate all their efforts. As you all know, in a few minutes, we're going to have representatives from all the breakout sessions come up. And give us your feedback, because obviously, like I said earlier in the day, this is all about your voices and being able to take them elsewhere. We want to do that, and then we want you all to do that as well. Hello, everyone. My name is Miguel Raimilla. I'm the executive director of the Delecentre.org Foundation, which is one of the partners of ITU. And we've been working with ITU and connecting telecenters, public access computing, and invite more people, young people from around the globe to participate in this event here in Costa Rica. It is, for me, it's very important to remind you that even though we are here and enjoying great technology and we are playing with wonderful gadgets, the reality is today, as we speak, more than 2 billion people remain without any access to technology at all. That's why telecenters are very important in developing countries, but even today, in Europe, in places like Spain, and Greece, and all those countries who are suffering economic crisis, telecenters are becoming the place where people gather and look for new ideas and opportunities. Right now, we are going to connect with one of those examples in Mexico, the University of Monterrey, Tectamonterrey, is one of the members of this global community of telecenters. And they provide access technology, but also make sure that people find the best way to use technology to improve their life and daily basis. Without further ado, if you are ready to connect with Monterrey, let's welcome the people of Mexico. Thank you. Monterrey, can you hear us? Yes. Are you ready to go? Please take the floor. The floor is yours, Monterrey. Monterrey, could you please tell us the outcomes of your Be Smart, Be Safe workshop? No, se escuchen en Monterrey? They had to be. It's here with people from around the globe. So welcome to you. Bienvenidos. Welcome. So no gustaría mucho saber que compartan su experiencia. We would like to know what is the experience and share it with us to participate in this event and why is this a great idea? This is how Monterrey here at Tectamonterrey, Mexico. And we are going to share with you one of the ideas we can mark with last Saturday at our summit, specifically for the Be Smart, Be Safe workshop. First, we detected the necessity to associate the virtual citizenship with a physical one to generate trust on the activities performed in the cyber state. The top problem detected according to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, its identity theft. According to Raticati Group, that is a technology market researcher, the number of worldwide email accounts is expected to be 4.1 billion by year end 2015. We decided to give a solution to the problem mentioned before by taking advantage of the email usage statistics and growth trends, associating the person to an email account by a physical process like the one we can see in banks, educational institutions, and government offices. By a decentralized organism, office, or booth, a person can go and associate the most common official citizen process of its country, which in Mexico would be the voter ID with its email account. By this, the email will be verified and the criminal actions made on internet will be easier to track and have a physical repercussion. By this simple process, actions like e-banks, social networks, governments, company, and users will have a major trust on the transactions made by internet, which can be translated as a safer cyberspace, more and better e-commerce and less scam. We all win. Thank you. Elis, can you hear all the applause? Yes. Good, wonderful. It's wonderful to have you all. I don't know, are they gonna stay connected so they can hear the rest of? The evening, wonderful. We look forward to having you. We look forward to having you. Maybe you can send us tweets or questions if you want to intervene. So, very thrilled to have you and especially your new idea. So maybe we'll find an investor to invest in your idea. Good, thank you. Okay, so it didn't work out for us to have one of the other hubs with us, but we're so glad that we got to have Monterey and that they've worked so hard. I mean, it sounds like they started last Saturday. Now what we'd like to do is welcome two representatives from the breakout sessions to actually tell us what you all did this afternoon in your own words so that we can begin to craft your voice. As the president said, she would like to take something to the UN General Assembly. We're also thrilled that we have representatives from UNICEF, Marta is here, and she likewise works in New York at the UN with UNICEF. So with that said, I'm not sure exactly who has volunteered to come and tell us about the breakout sessions, but this is what I'd like for you all to do. I'd like, first of all, you need a microphone, so I'm not sure if somebody has already handed out microphones to you all. Are you all the responders, repertors? Let's try to find a microphone maybe so that everybody can hear them and also we can get them on the recording. Sure, oh, let's try that and see. Okay, we're gonna try and see if one of these will work. So if you all would, we would like for you to introduce yourselves and tell us where you're from, your country, and then also if a sponsoring organization brought you here, then we would love to hear that as well because we wanna be able to thank them because it's so important. And on that note, I hope that all of you all are going to write a note of appreciation to whoever brought you here and the Secretary General, the First Lady of Nigeria and President Chinchia. I think it's very important for all of us to show our gratitude and appreciation for their leadership as global leaders. So with that said, please go ahead. Okay, everyone, my name is Zaynab and I am visiting from Qatar and I have come with a bunch of people from ICT Qatar. So we took part in the Be Smart, Be Safe, the Smarted Up session. We covered five different topics within this session and I'll just quickly run through them for you without taking too long. So we had beyond social networking, engaging in peer to peer support, online reputation, caring for my digital footprint and we had mine crafting SS digital relations and then my friend here will cover the two other sessions we covered. So one of the sessions we took part in was centered around how do we feel about the nature of online social bonds and should people implement a value or support system as your network groups grow? In simple terms, what that means is as our number of friends on Facebook or our number of followers on Twitter starts to grow, should we take a responsibility to let people know when they've posted something online, that's not right. Is it our responsibility? As a group, we decided that yes, it is our responsibility to some point because we do have to give people freedom to sort of post what they like and express themselves but it is our responsibility to tell our peers when they've posted something that might be inappropriate or it might harm them. One of the ways we can do this is we need to create more awareness, we need to make people critical thinkers and how we can do this is number one, we need to start early. So in schools, we need to educate people about what they post online has an impact. Number two, maybe we need to sort of close our peer circle. So not all our friends on Facebook are real friends. So maybe we need to limit how many people we're accepting online or our number of followers. And thirdly, maybe it's up to organizations such as Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and I'm sure there's a whole lot more to sort of give you a pop up when you post a photo or when you check in somewhere, just are you really sure you would like to check in here because all these people will find out about it. So maybe it's also their responsibility to do something about this. I'll now pass it on to my friend, Lemon Kani, who will cover the two other topics he took part in. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. My name is Lemon Kani Mtonga from Zambia, Africa. I am here with four other people and we were sponsored by Zambia Information and Communication Technology Authority and Association that we're currently working with. So in our sessions, we discussed smart it up and the challenging question is, can political activism in social media be a risk? And can we make political activism safe? Can political activism in social media be a risk? And can we make it safe? And our answer to that question is that, yes and no, it is a risk in the same set. It depends on the country that you're from. It depends on the laws that govern that country and the regulations that are there. And I'll give a quick example. In my country, if you say something against the government, it is highly dependent on what you say. If you're praising the government, it is not a risk. They'll support your statement. But if you speak not in the affirmative with the government, they might harass you. But again, it depends on what you post. Is it ideal? Is it real? And if at all, does it have a legal standing? If it is true, they have no issue against you. So in that sense, it may or may not be a risk. But again, we say it is a risk in the sense that everything you post and tweet and publish to the media is subject to being read by everyone. And in that case, people might react to it. And how they react is highly reliable in what you say. Therefore, it may be a risk and may not be a risk. And it comes to regulation. Therefore, we jump on, lastly, to the solutions to this particular situation. Considering that it may or may not be a risk, we need a status quo. We need to have a standing. How do we want it to be? Do we want political activism to be a risk? Or do we not want it to be a risk? Or do we want it to be the way it is? Currently, it's not so good. What we may want is to make political activism a risk in a reasonable man's sense. It shouldn't be in the position of the government to decide to say what you've done is highly wrong. It should be in a position of a reasonable man, the court. It is highly also responsible. It is also the responsibility of the ITU, the United Nations, to come up with laws and to formulate laws that will govern the aspect of political activism. A uniform law will do, but also a teaching will do to countries on this matter. Thank you very much. My name is Sarah. I'm from Qatar. And I'm here with my colleague from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. So in our session, we focused on internet safety for children. And in our session, we discussed the different recommendations that we would like to enforce or suggest to different sectors of society. So I will discuss some of my recommendations. And then my colleague will discuss the rest. So we believe that education about internet safety for children should start from a child's home. However, the statistics we saw showed that parents do believe that it is important to educate their children about internet safety. But most of them do not believe that it is their job to educate their children, but that this education should come from schools or different other areas. So we believe that parents should be first educated about internet safety. And it's important to educate them that it is important for them to educate their children and also create and foster an environment in their homes where their children can come up and speak to them about the problems that they face online. For example, if they have any problems such as cyber bullying. Second, we believe that it is very important for government and public sector in general to take a very active role in solving this issue. And here we believe that the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Education and Ministries in technology should take an active role in creating a curriculum and enforcing that in schools and educating their kids through schools and through workshops and also by educating their teachers to kind of help them through that. It would take a very big step in solving this issue. And we also think that governments should create incentives or give incentives to private companies to work within their CSR programs to take initiatives to solve this issue. So I will pass this on to my colleague, Deniz, who will continue. Thank you, Sarah. I'm Deniz. I'm coming here from Geneva. And our sponsors are PWC and Fermion. We are the delegation of Fermion. So I will be continuing talking about the private sector and the medias. First of all, private sector is really important to create some new innovations about online child safety. In our workshop, we found out that private companies such as Google or Microsoft can create some kids programs like Microsoft Kids or Google Kids with some special educational contents. Second of all, companies can get involved to educating children about safety programs by through CSR programs, especially those related to ICTs. For example, we saw the Disney creating a Club Penguin, a game called Club Penguin, in order to create some safe server to chat for kids and create a digital citizenship to inform people, inform especially children what to do and what to not do. And I also disagree with what Mr. Howard Charney said yesterday, I think governments and private sector must cooperate and none of them should underestimate each other. Second of all, I will pass to medias. Medias are really important and we also cannot underestimate medias of today. We all see how Twitter and Facebook are important. We all see what happened in Turkey in the past few months, the democratic rights against the cruel politics of the Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and all the important steps to democracy. Medias should take role for children in cartoons or in children's child magazines to make some campaigns. What can be these campaigns? We can warn children about, for example, talking with strangers because it's really risky. And second of all, we also discussed about the child safety and we can develop some role models, maybe such as Chuck Norris, to tell people what to do and what to not do because children take role models. We can also see Superman and Batman and why not to create an online virtual superhero to tell kids and to educate them about the risks of the Internet and ICTs. Thank you very much. Hi, my name is Mauro. I'm from Colombia. I came sponsored by the ICT Ministry of Colombia and I made part of the cyberbullying workshop and of the info privacy workshop. So first in cyberbullying, I want to say a very clear message for everyone and it's cyberbullying is everyone's responsibility. It's not just there outside. We are everybody needs to be in charge of preventing cyberbullying. In that term, I want to make clear that we have to make prevention campaigns. We have to look forward to prevent cyberbullying. Our child and the children that are coming is not just to be careful with them when they are online. The problem is also online. Actually, the problem can be in-house. So we really, what we discussed was making a real statement and making clear that we have to make prevention campaigns in order to prevent cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is not just outside of our houses, outside of everyone, everything. You can be cyberbullied. Once you get clicked on your photo, once you make public everything, everything can be a part of being a cyberbullied. So our message is clear. We have to take care of what we are posting online, of what we are posting and what we are saying online. We have to be clear on our messages and we have to have one thing very clear. It's not just you have to go online and post everything you know and post everything. You just have to take care of what you are saying and what you are posting. And on info privacy, this goes this way. And info privacy, not everything you have to do and not everything you know and not everything that is in your mind should be gone online. You have to take care of what you are saying. It might be your resume. Your Facebook can be your resume. So you have to take care of what you are saying. And our call here is for the social media companies. It's not what means, it's not quantity of users but quality of users. You cannot start having a lot of users because it's going to give you traffic. It's what users are you having on that. So that was our info privacy conclusion. You have to take care of what you are posting and you have to take care of what you are saying on the internet. Hi everyone, I'm Stephanie Sue from the United States and also part of the Georgia Tech delegation. And I'll continue talking about the info privacy session. So before we used to say that the internet is a virtual reality, that it's our second identity. But in reality it isn't. It's an extension of our own selves. It's our own identity and it's the extension of our own reputations. With the age of the oncoming new users of ICTs becoming younger and younger, we have to make those use be aware that they have to be careful when using the internet and social media outlets. That anything that they post, although it may seem that they can delete it afterwards is permanent and can affect their lives in the future since like when they want to apply for a university or for a job. And in a way, netiquette is what we call the proper way to communicate on the internet. And it can also be similar to how we learn etiquette in social interactions. How do we learn etiquette? It's not through classes. We don't take classes to learn proper etiquette. We learn etiquette through experience, through interacting with others. And from the results of that interaction, we figure out what is right and what is wrong. So a solution to create awareness for the youth in proper use of ICTs is to introduce the use of ICTs and incorporate that into education when they're young. That way that the use of ICTs is almost second nature to them. That when they use those ICTs, they of course are being monitored by whether they're teachers or their parents. And they are able to get feedback almost immediately from them saying that, no, you should not have posted that. Or no, have you thought of the consequences of your actions? So the takeaway point of that is that governments and companies shouldn't focus on preventing children from using social media. Rather, they should focus on encouraging the youth through other age-appropriate platforms created. That was a lot of work. I absolutely love this idea about the superheroes. So maybe we can talk the SG into doing some kind of competition and you all can create some really incredible superhero that we can use, for instance, on the COP website. And then I was thinking about some of you all that are more devious could create the cyber bull and make it look like Taurus the Bull. Anyway, all of these points are absolutely incredible. Just like in real life, do you need to both minimize and discern who are my real friends? You know, it's the same in the offline world as it is in the online world. That we, all of you, all of us as individuals must take some responsibility. We have to take responsibility for what we post. And then of course we have to take responsibility for teaching youth that are younger than we are. I don't know if you all really realize this, but it's a heavy weight on you all. Kids don't want to hear from me. They don't want to hear from the SG or even the president. They want to hear from people your age. So you all can really help solve this problem for the next generation. I'm very interested. One of the other solutions was about providing digital citizenship, etiquette, being good citizens online in schools. How many of your schools provided some kind of online education? Would you raise your hands? Interesting. How young were you? Shout out, was it in like grammar school or high school or when did this happen? At the university level. So I guess we've got a lot of work to do, right? To get it plugged in younger and younger. So that's why things like Club Pigman that you all mentioned that Disney's doing are so very important. We didn't even get into some of the issues about how our data is being used, stored, and sold. Why aren't we getting some of that cash back, right? It's all of our data and all of our information. Our pictures, for instance. Any kind of artwork or music that you post that is your own creation. So these are issues that really you all are going to be dealing with in your own lives personally and then as leaders, obviously. So with that said, thank you again for all this insight. I'm just thrilled with some of these solutions and ideas and we will certainly take those back to the Child Online Protection website and the ITU and share those with leaders all over the world. For any of you all who were sponsored by your ministers, please give them my best because I was their colleague in Washington at the FCC several years ago and so know many of them and I'm so, so thrilled that they are being such supporters of COP and the ITU's emphasis on protecting children online. So with that said, let me turn it over now to our resident expert. She's worked on many issues facing children, as I said, at UNICEF and with the UN in New York. Very much focused on violence but also on the health, safety and welfare in the offline world and now increasingly in the online world. So with that, let me introduce Marta Santos Pes. Many of you all have seen her around. I think she was in and out of a lot of your sessions and I'm very excited if you can glean some of what you heard from our reporters and then give us some closing final remarks that kind of shaped this for us. That would be absolutely wonderful. Thank you. Thank you so much. I feel so honored and so excited. I think you all feel very excited at this moment and I think I also realize that we are competing against something very thrilling here in Costa Rica which is the qualification of Costa Rica for the World Cup of Soccer but we are so much more important and of course we are cheering for Costa Rica and other countries but we have so much to build upon and it's so humbling to follow the young colleagues who have just given us the highlights of such important discussions and such concrete, tangible and feasible recommendations and perhaps the big challenge before all of us is to really not let them die and bring them over to all of our friends and our governments and all those we interact with. You know, I'm slightly older than many of you. I'm a grandmother already but I realize with my grandchildren and my children that although I feel a bit of prehistory that for them using, accessing, playing around with new technologies is part of daily life. We all breathe these elements and in fact we feel very addicted and completely naked when we forget our blackberry, our mobile phone, our computer, iPad or whatever it is and we have heard from our colleagues in Mexico Monterey, from those who have presented here and in all the sessions I participated in how much all of you are aware about the potential, the dreams that we explore, the boundaries we force by using these technologies and at the same time how much we feel the need of being smart and safe in engaging with them and I think your recommendations have shown that very, very visibly but we know that there are risks and we know that we need to address them very systematically so I'm not going to try to portray all the fantastic ideas that were presented in the sessions this afternoon but I'm going to recall some of the recommendations that were put forward and again they were very concrete and perhaps the first recommendation I took for me is that we are dealing with a very complex and multifaceted topic and there is no single actor who is sufficient and well prepared to deal with all of it so we heard the role of governments is important the role of the private sector is fundamental the role of families and schools is essential and the roles of children and young people is indispensable but all together we can make this new universe this contest very present universe something that makes a difference for all children so trying to you know highlight some of the key things I heard and were shared by all of you I have a few ideas to share with you the first was I took for me start with a child and young person don't talk about what is dangerous what is a risk what is a potential for you the others start with the young person and this means start listening to children about what they see as the potential the opportunity the concerns the doubts and the risks and promote safety surfing together join hands simulate risks try to understand the possibilities of overcoming them of supporting them and try to enhance the capacities of the child and the father and the mother and the teacher on all those we interact with children together and like that we all gain this reassurance that the risks can be controlled overcome and the potential of this universe can be fully explored children need to feel supported in this process they need to feel the guidance but they also need to know that there is a space they are exploring and we recognize their potential and their responsibility as we heard so many times here the second big thing I took for me I'm sorry and you said it just now when it is so important don't pretend that only older children and young people after 18 need these kinds of interactions and guidance start as early as possible because all children may be impacted well my grandson when he was three taught me so many things there will be younger children who can teach us so so much so the second thing I took for me was as you said sensitize parents put their fears away make them feel comfortable in engaging with these new technologies let them overcome the unknown with confidence in and very especially resist the temptation of just introducing censorship barriers closing doors that in fact are not putting the risks aside they are going to just bring them into clandestinity but the risks will remain very present for everybody then the third thing I brought from the discussions watch was bridge home and schools in this process it is so important to recognize as you also pointed out just now the role of teachers the role of schools in creating spaces for discussions enhancing skills but teachers need to feel that they have the capacity and the knowledge to do it and to do it right to guide to assist to support and to empower children and very often they lack that capacity and they feel frightened by the responsibility that goes with it so changing the school curricula as you said is one important thing but change the training curricula of teachers is certainly something we cannot forget and then I also took for me in this regard the opportunity to narrow the socioeconomic disparities that persist in so many of our countries where some kids some young people don't have their computer or iPad or mobile phone at home they try to go to places where the risks may be higher and where they may be confronted in fact many challenges and situations of violence so let us reach out to all children all young people and let us all be a network and a wave to bring those good images and solutions to all of them then the fourth thing I heard was create superheroes as you said and I love it but I was listening to you and to be honest I was thinking well we have superheroes in this room so we don't need to create them in a way so let us build upon your capacity but you also said involve a billion leaders involve role models, involve the influential actors that can help us multiply the outreach of our messages and this is something of course that we need to explore and in this regard I want to say in a way we all have a responsibility and I'm just going to give a very concrete example in my own work a special representative of the secretary general of the United Nations on violence against children guided by the opinion of young people I did this pen drive which has all the information about the work I do and how we interact with so many actors and this is so easy to put in the pocket of presidents and members of government and parliament and private sector and all those we want to convince so of course I also want to join hands with you in this regard and this brings me to the role of the private sector and you said it much better than I can say but I heard a few recommendations that I feel are important which were that we need to encourage the private sector to develop and make known very strong but also child friendly and youth friendly social responsibility principles this cannot only be an internal question for them it needs to be made public to all of us so that we can draw from those principles and then make them work very responsibly and at the same time they need to help us disseminate and create the good tools for all children to feel all young people to feel empowered and part of this process and I took a sentence from one of the groups that said it's always better to be safe than to be sorry so in this process of course let us not forget that responsibility opportunity then the sixth thing I took for me was the governments have a critical role in the UN we say the governments have a leading role in fact in creating the conditions regulating the situations intervening with there are risks for young people and others so of course it is important to recall that but one key recommendation I heard was all governments need to secure funding because money is important to ensure that there are enough campaigns to raise awareness in the public at large in all nations but to promote campaigns for children and young people specifically and there were a lot of people who were involved in this you know for instance it was recommended that all forms of media need to be engaged in this process to reach young people not only some forms of media it is important to tell stories that transmit the human story the human face of those who may be at risk the story of the particular boy or girl in a particular role in this campaign situations that are concrete that people may see themselves into and can feel the risks the potential the victimization the humiliation and how we need to help those that have been affected by it using entertainment and ICT so that people also take advantage and have fun and feel positive and confident rather than feeling completely overwhelmed by what they may be facing and I think it is important to take into account the recommendations in this regard but you also said in relation to governments let us not forget when something wrong happens governments need to put in place mechanism is to intervene and support the victims the child and young people who have suffered the abuse the humiliation and on this we cannot really postpone solutions they need to happen we need to join hands and we all need to be responsible and smart and safe as we said but we need to join hands together and not only work within our own organizations or countries and here new technologies are putting us all connected which is of course fantastic but let us not forget again as we heard our young champions and superheroes a moment ago there is no way we can understand and explore the potential of these technologies and put risks aside if we don't do it joining hands with children and young people they will alert us much better than we can speak to all these issues and therefore my plea to you is let us really connect together and make this be persisting as a priority and I'm so thankful that in the General Assembly there will be voices bringing the results of this conversation and I want to say I'm so honored to be part of this I'm so excited to be part of this I'm almost cheering like Costa Ricans in being qualified for the World Cup but I want to continue to learn from you and I want to be your friend in the social media network so thank you so so much. As you all can see you have yet another passionate for you your entire life with her career and her advice to the General Assembly and to the UN itself I think that at this point we would like to no we wouldn't like to do that as you all know we have some benefits to give out that are going to be for all of you all but we also knew that you wanted to yes tomorrow open the floor great okay so if you all would like to have an intervention either about what you have heard from some of the breakout reporters or if you all were part of a session and you'd like to tell us either something that you heard that was important or in addition to then we would love to have you all do that and we'll get you a microphone yes is there a microphone that we could thank you good afternoon everyone pretty glad to be here my name is Jorge Sandoval I'm a Costa Rican delegate and I would like to share a small thought so I will try to be brief something that is real important for all of you all of us here in the United States however it is really hard for every one of us especially in a childhood time to understand what it means because when we are introduced to this internet world we think that it is for entertainment within that it is for watching videos or wishing that it is for playing games and I think that it is really important to communicate children's how powerful how far you can get using the internet and I think that part of that educational budget or celibacy I'm sorry should include that internet could do amazing things that they could this is one of the biggest inventions that we as human kind have developed so it is really important to show them that many things that they would like to achieve during their lives even though they have a small dream being so child they could get through the internet and try to get something useful for the community, for their family or for their world instead of thinking that it is just an entertainment platform I would like to make the children see that because even though you may think that they are not prepared for that I have seen that some children when you try to excite them about the potentials that they can get or how far they could get I have seen that when you talk to them and explain about how something really simple that we said yesterday give for granted can be used for people around the world to change their country I would like to let them know that, thank you wonderful, thank you yes sir good evening good evening I just want to add a little comment and my name is Luis, I'm from Nicaragua basically we've been talking about technology all day and it's pretty good on ways we can help out children but we need to remember that our first role models our first contact is a human contact our parents so I guess a factor that wasn't addressed today is that what we need to keep on we don't need to let the technology surpass our humanity we need them to evolve at the same rate so us, we can use the technology in the best way possible for our reality thank you thank you yes sir thank you everyone my name is Junior Ondong I'm coming from Gabon I'm advisor of president of Gabon I need to say something in French because my English is bad my Spanish is very very very bad I need to I would like to congratulate the UTA for the organization and we would like to say that from 18 to 30 there are a lot of challenges that have to be replicated their capital fundamental capital to the growth of these companies this will go through the flow of CITs and the process of control and management of CITs is only is the only way for underdeveloped countries to get to development so we are forced to establish control mechanisms for access to CITs to control the whole process that goes with that it goes along all the proposals that we have heard but I think that the key to future success will be that our children, our human capital and if they do not receive a good education they will go anyway and so thank you very much for all this and I would like to congratulate you on behalf of the president of the Republic of Gabon for being part of Guides and Scouts of Costa Rica I think one part that we are missing in the discussion is the non-formal education like we are for example Guides and Scouts we have big processes we are in almost every country in the world and we can have a great impact as we are doing in climate change in HIV processes for example so we can take in consideration non-formal education and our environment we can reach even more than we are thinking in schools and families absolutely thank you for that yes ma'am hello I am Anasilia Salazar from Guatemala my English is very bad so I will speak in Spanish yes we do I was in a workshop in the self-exposure workshop we were discussing about the real identity through the internet we think it is very important to articulate this part we would like you to know that in Guatemala two people were contacted by this guy this guy had a false profile everyone was talking to him he raped them and he killed them so we would like you to know that this is really important to be regulated so we were discussing the use of data mining and finding patterns and profiles and I think that is really essential and maybe companies are really useful because that means they will have less users but it is quite simple to create a behavior pattern to see if someone's profile is true, is a real profile or if it is false and to take action against any falseness and you bring up also a really good point and that is that many nations laws have not caught up with all the changes that have occurred because of this explosion of technology it happens every time that there is any type of new technological explosion and so one of the things that you all need to do is encourage your legislatures or parliaments your executive branch to propose and ensure that all the laws in the real world are also impacting and are legal authority for any activity that's going on online so thank you so much oh yes ma'am and I can't really see in the back very well so if you all have something to say please wave, thank you Hola mucho gusto mi nombre Hi nice to meet you everyone I'm Gabriela from Costa Rica from the Scouts Association of Costa Rica and we've been linked well I have been linked to volunteer associations for a long time I work now with children between 7 and 11 years of age in a non-formal education program and I monitor that through their personal lives so I know where they come from what problems they have what types of families they live in and I was working today with the Disney program looking a little bit about the application they developed to show them how to use internet safely some of my colleagues said no let's think like children we cannot forget we are talking about children so we have to integrate them they have their own point of view you can't talk about youth without youth so we also need children to express themselves to tell us what they feel also we cannot pretend and ask children to be isolated they have access to internet and it's practically limitless we also know that there are children that may get raved and there are children that come from families that live around prostitution and pornography they live in their families situations of human trafficking we can't think that they are ignorant in that sense so we have to know what they are living through to give them a solution for that as young people we also need to be aware that they are not the innocent children we would like them to be they also have a world like we do and we need to include them to provide them tools to create a solution in the long term because it's no use for us to create solutions that are just good for today because it's what we are living today because we have experiences that we lived throughout our 18, 20 or 25 years but what happens with them we also have to be updated we have to include them we have to know that there are different contexts as well I also worked in Kenya in an orphanage with extreme poverty and I have to say that technology would help a lot applications would help a lot but besides that we need a society because here it says if you have a cell phone I can steal it from you if you have a better tablet I want one so I'll steal it even if that means that I have to forget that I have to eat so let's make the dreams of children be our dreams as well that way we can build together with them with the generations that have also lived with us a better future but all together good afternoon my name is Scarlett Sanchez I'm from the Dominican Republic and now I'm working for the government and I'm working for the presidential office in charge of the information and communication technologies I'm going to speak in Spanish but okay I was also in a workshop about the exposure that we have in the social media and we came up with the conclusion that youngsters are trying to expose themselves because they want to feel important they will like to feel that the likes that are provided to their pictures are being important we would like to fulfill a campaign to a government level to make conscience for the children to understand what is the real use that takes me to be another interesting thing is that we were thinking that we had to motivate the social media to work with the ethic themes another important thing that we proposed to promote the girls to study related careers with teaks to propose another use, ethic use so we think this is an important it's important to have an ethical day of CITs created and we want that to happen thank you very much Dame DeGest have arrived and so at this point in time I would like to invite the secretary general his Excellency Hamidun Toure up here with us and then also my good friend her Excellency First Lady Dr. Patience Jonathan if she can come to the stage as well again will you help me thank Marta for being with us and for helping to collect all of your thoughts as we move forward to taking to New York and beyond I didn't have the students come up the person that would like to make a comment that I didn't get a chance to call on yes sir good night good night or the I'll speak in Spanish I'm also from the ministry of telecommunications in Ecuador and in our cyberbullying workshop we realized in the videos that we showed that there's the awareness campaigns but they always happen after someone had been affected so we think it's important to have prevention always and one way to do this is by including in Curicula that we also discussed in another workshop through high school and school Curicula to have subject on peace culture because really have lots of aggressiveness happening in schools anyway so if we have say two hours a week throughout great school these types of subjects would be a great way to cover cyberbullying and physical bullying and another idea that we rescue from this is that it would be great if in social networks before publishing or posting your photos there should be a suggestion saying that the photo that you will that you're about to post may affect the integrity of another person so then at least we can try and raise awareness before they post pictures anything modified or anything that could be seen as uncomfortable so that was it thank you so I think it's very interesting so many of you all have brought this up and this is part of really a larger kind of environment for all of us to be more peaceful citizens to have this net as in this etiquette as we live increasingly in this online world those are excellent suggestions and how important prevention is it doesn't matter what the health issue is that really we should be spending much more time and money on the prevention rather than solving the solution afterwards just like we do with children's vaccinations for instance so I agree I think that those are some really great points and I hope that all of you all will continue to spread this as you go back home as well and keep in touch I also think that the gentleman brought up another great point about the provider's responsibility in transparency of what they do with our information and maybe giving us an opportunity to not post something because we've been reminded by an alert or whatever we know that this is technologically capable to get alerts because we get alerts all the time about other things so why not before we post something that we might wish that we had never posted before and many of you all are out in the working environment in business already and employment and as you all know many universities are looking constantly on the social websites many colleges and universities decide to retrac their offers for both admissions and for scholarships and increasingly HR departments at corporations are beginning to look on those social networks as well so you need to be a very savvy user especially if you are going to university or looking for a job which also means teaching people who are younger than you about those issues as well does someone have a short comment I think we're just waiting on the secretary general or anyone or anyone want to he's here wonderful so again we're so thrilled that one of the strongest voices and advocates for child online protection and for the empowerment of you and all of our youth the secretary general of the ITU Hamadun Ture will be joining us on stage now along with her excellency First Lady Dr.
