Re: [npoc-voice] Sessions description draft for Beijing

[Caroline Figuères <cfigueres@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marie-Laure,
I fully share your vision about the role of the youth. Youth is a
broad concept. In some country it is up to 35... But let's take the
definition of 15-24 for this purpose. Many 18 years old are ICT-wiser
than we are! It may be interesting to develop a serious game on this
issue to increase awareness of the younger youth and gather from older
youth useful protection tips!

Kind regards
Caroline
