More about HUWY http://huwy.eu

The HUWY project aims to get young people talking about policies and
laws which affect the Internet and channel this to people in governments
and parliaments, working on these policies. Young people choose the
topics and questions, host the discussions on their web pages and post
the results on Hubs provided by the project. HUWY partners provide
information and support and involve young people and youth groups.

HUWY also organise people working on Internet policies to read and
use the results. The online Hubs hold supporting information, space for
the results of young people’s discussions and feedback from
policy-makers.

How it works

HUWY believe that young people are valuable expert stakeholders in
current Internet governance issues like

• cyberbullying,
• child abuse and child safety, 
• freedom of speech and censorship, 
• privacy and phishing, security, identity, hacking, e-commerce, 
• file-sharing and copyright.

We aim to support young people and youth groups to hold informed
discussions on these topics in their own online spaces and help to
publish their results and ideas in a way that is useful to
policy-makers.
