The Friedrich Naumann Stiftung für die Freiheit (FNF) and Digital Empowerment Foundation (DEF) are co-organising the one-day “Digital Citizen Summit”, with the objective of learning and information sharing, encouraging South Asian regional dialogue; and developing strategic partnerships between individuals and organisations working towards a better understanding and advocacy on individual rights in online spaces.

The Summit will conclude with the formation of working groups divided in thematic areas. These working groups will work together for the next 6 months to discuss, share and strategise. We aim to extend this initiative into an annual regional summit to facilitate long term collaboration towards policy advocacy and action on internet rights.
