 Hi everyone, I'm here in Kigali Rwanda for the World Telecommunication Development Conference and I'm joined by Ellen Taylor who is a part of the Canadian delegation and a youth representative. Thanks so much for joining us, Ellen. Well, thanks so much for having me, Roshni. So the Generation Connect Youth Summit brought the voices of thousands of young people into the global conversation around shaping the digital future. How do you see that it was important to ensure that this was a truly global consultation? It's a great question and for me it's absolutely imperative and I think that's echoing the voices of a lot of young people that I talk to. There are many issues that affect us all as young people. For instance, COVID-19 disrupted over 90% of young people's education around the world so I was able to engage in a lot of great conversations with my peers about that and about how we see digital technology and ICTs really shaping our collective future and obviously it's our collective present and future so we want to make sure we're hearing from every corner of the globe, every young person because it affects us all and we all want to be part of the conversation. And Generation Connect Consultations have been going on over virtual platforms for months so what do you see were the few core issues that stood out as of most concern? I think it's important to note that it's actually been a two-year long consultation process with young people, a very iterative process as well, mostly online, absolutely given the pandemic and the global nature of Generation Connect, but through those, the outcome documents that young people worked so hard on and just many conversations and meetings it's clear that there are a few key issues that we really want to see addressed and some of them are around the environment and climate change and e-waste we're particularly concerned at the rate of e-waste that is continually increasing as well we want our voices heard more, we're continuously fighting well it feels like fighting anyway to have our voices heard in decision-making spaces so that that part of digital inclusion is really imperative to us and those are a couple points that I saw come up quite a bit. Great and so my last question to you would be what do you hope to see change as a result of your work? I think for me I'd love to see more young people here at WTDC at conferences such as this, at global conferences such as this I've been very fortunate to continue from the Generation Connect Youth Summit to WTDC and I really hope that that more young people will have opportunities such as the very fortunate one that I have had I also hope that this change is reflected in some of the resolution discussions that I'm very fortunate to have right now so that we can continue to have meaningful youth engagement and really amplify young voices going forward. Thanks so much for joining us today Ellen. And thank you so much for having me.
