        **

        National surveys underline that children are major users of the
        Internet. Drawing on diverse research resources the report "One
        in Three: Internet Governance and Children’s Rights" reveals
        that one in three of all Internet users worldwide are under 18
        years of age. In the developing world, this rises to around one
        in two of all users.

        Considering children’s increasing access, agency and autonomy in
        using content and services, their human rights and protection as
        a vulnerable group needs to be coupled with their education as
        emerging citizens to ensure they develop a healthy and positive
        relationship regarding the Internet.

        Their general well-being, participation in society, and
        prospects of employment greatly depend on Media and Information
        Literacy (MIL) as the new set of basic skills for the 21st
        century, where computational thinking interfaces with the rich
        and diverse ‘cultures of information’ (news, data, documents,
        codes, etc.).

        *Recommendations for discussion:*

         1. Make Media and Information Literacy (MIL) 21^st Century
            basics of the school curricula.
         2. Regulate data management for learning.
         3. Foster the active appropriation by children of their human
            rights and shared values including Internet governance
            principles and processes.
         4. Support Internet studies and Media and Information Literacy
            as a ‘frontier’ field in research and education.
         5. Bring together multi-stakeholder governance actors,
            including children and young people, around the co-design of
            education 3.0.
         6. Harness the potential of creative industries for learning
            and training.
         7. Reboot the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of the
            providers of Internet content and services to support
            education 3.0.
         8. Engage children and young people in Internet Governance as a
            more effective stakeholder group within the ranks of civil
            society.
         9. Invite public authorities to consider and collaborate in
            education 3.0,in particular to develop indicators and
            accountability mechanisms for next generation
            (age-sensitive) policies and social innovation.
        10. Create the position of UN Special Rapporteur on education
            3.0 for children and young people’s sustainable digital
            development.
