1. A panel discussion on ‘Global Networking for Digital Justice in the New Age’
14:50 – 16:00 (IST), 9:20 – 10:30 (UTC)
The digital is on the political agenda today, but is global civil society ready to move it forward in progressive directions? How can we make social and economic rights vis-à-vis the digital a critical part of this agenda? Our opening panel will kick off with these questions and offer directions for the evolving strategy of the Just Net Coalition.
