In 2009 Hivos and the Centre for Internet and Society started a mapping study Digital Natives with a Cause? What we found was that many people see the potential of Youth, ICT and development, but nowbody knows exactly who the Digital Natives are and how you can unleash this potential. Today we are starting at Fill the Gap an online and offline discussion. Join us!

An important finding of our study is that the voice of the Digital Native is not found in the discussion about them. Today there will be an event in the Netherlands on Youth, ICT and Development.
