Steve Vosloo spent 5 days in Athens at the Internet Governance Forum, a UN event to discuss issues such as freedom of expression, censorship, multilingualism, local content, etc. He was there to be on a panel to discuss Emerging Issues from a Youth Perspective. The panel was held at the closing ceremony, about 400 people in the audience.

Steve spoke about the Digital Hero Book Project, explaining the need for physical access to ICTs and good bandwidth, and for fora such as this to keep exploring ways of creating safe and free — as in free expression — online spaces for youth.

He wrote a short piece on the significance of the event, from a UN perspective.
