 As Wissi's Forum continues to celebrate its 10-year anniversary, it's the opportunity for the organisers and the over 3,000 participants gathered here in Geneva to recognise the unique role of ICTs for development. Whether it be gender mainstreaming, climate change or promoting our cultural diversity, Wissi's Forum is a key platform to raise awareness about important issues. It's also a place where we can learn about innovative projects across the world, where ICTs were used to help deliver the United Nations' sustainable development goals. Virtual reality, for instance, can be used to enhance and protect culture. All over the world, languages are disappearing at an alarming rate. Out of the 7,000 spoken worldwide today, half of them will be extinct by the middle of the century. Last Wissi was really an invocation of languages that are being dead and in the piece that this person is experimenting with right now, you're actually facing the earth and you are seeing those languages all around the globe disappearing and you see their names and it's really a way for you to perceive from within, from the inside and embody what's happening. And for those who've always dreamed of flying like a bird, VR can also help. Birdly is a simulator that can recreate similar sensations and emotions. Beyond its entertainment value, this immersive experience can also act as an effective educational tool. Using information and communication technologies to empower women and girls was at the heart of discussions at a gender mainstreaming session as bridging the digital gap and enhancing inclusion is one of the priorities of the Wissi Forum. What governments need to do is to take targeted specific interventions that address the groups that are basically are being further pushed away from the digital divide and they need to look holistically. Yesterday the Thai Minister was talking about this as well and I love the fact that he said it's not just the digital divide, they're all divides, there's the economic divide, education divide and there's cultural social divides and of course we have the gender digital divide. Another busy day here at Wissi Forum 2019. Join us again for the next highlights video where we'll be talking about connectivity in the future and we'll also discuss the security and ethical implications of transformative technologies like artificial intelligence.
