This is Digital Futures, a multilingual podcast series brought to you by Forus for the Civil Society Alliance for Digital Empowerment. A project co-funded by the European Union. This podcast complements a detailed mapping study on the barriers and opportunities civil society faces in internet governance spaces worldwide. Throughout this series, we’ll journey across the globe, connecting with voices at the heart of digital transformation and digital rights. We will start our journey with Karolina Iwańska, the Digital Civic Space Advisor at the European Center for Not-for-Profit Law. We will then journey to Nigeria, where you will hear about the inspiring work of Oyebisi Oluseyi, the Executive Director of the Nigeria Network of NGOs, and Miriam Beatrice Wanjiru, Programmes Officer at the pan-African organisation Paradigm Initiative. The next stop will be Lebanon, where we will find Abed Kataya, the Digital Content Manager at SMEX, an organization that advocates for digital rights in the West Asia and North Africa. Finally, we will take you to Taiwan to meet Linus Lee, the Secretary General of the Taiwan Alliance in International Development. But the journey doesn’t end here. If you speak French or Spanish, we invite you to listen to our five bonus episodes looking at the feminist internet, different definitions of digitalization, digital civic space and different visions of Digital Futures. This exploration will take listeners to Bolivia and Colombia, and onwards to Madagascar, Senegal, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
