We came to Nassau determined to move from vision to action to accelerate an inclusive, sustainable & resilient digital future. The 5 Opinions adopted at #ITUWTPF help us to do that, while keeping people at the centre of digital transformation as we head to @ITU #Plenipot-26.

Schools should be full of curiosity, laughter, and learning. It’s time to #ActForHumanity. It's time to build, not destroy, the hopes + dreams of our children for generations to come. Every child deserves protection, online and offline. #WorldHumanitarianDay

The countdown to #YouthDay is on! And to mark #ITU160 years of innovation, @ITUSecGen Youth Advisory Board members take the mic on what innovation means to them: For @roseralmenar "innovation is about shaping tech that serves people, not the other way around."
