I attended several IGFs and ME IGFs but what I’ve seen at the [https://www.aprigf.asia/index.html APrIGF 2019] of the empowerment and capacity building of their community and Youth in the Internet Governance space doesn’t have its parallel at other regional IGFs. APrIGF, does give high attention to youth from schools through introducing them to the Internet Governance policy work. That gives to youth the opportunities to be future leaders in their countries and internationally. The evidence of this empowerment is the maturity of the youth logic during the debates which is very close to senior participants.  Another activity at the APrIGF that empowers the fellows is the thematic buddy group assignment which is based on the APrIGF themes. Then at the closing plenary, members of the group provide a short summary report on each of the sub-themes.
