WORK HISTORY
Youth Ambassador Fellow @Internet Society
Selected along with 14 colleagues out of over 1,800 applications worldwide. In this 10 month Program, our cohort of Fellows will expand our skills to influence Internet policies, discuss and explore topics linked to digital rights, internet governance, and human development, and attend a major Internet event. I am especially interested in affordable internet access practices and promoting community networks to address the digital divide.This journey will shape the development of my initiative, which I will refine through discussions with high-level experts on the Internet Governance field and my very talented Youth Fellows before presenting it at the program’s closing symposium.

ABOUT LAILA LORENZON
Graduated in International Relations at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in Brazil and currently pursuing a Masters degree in Digital Humanities at the University Paris in France. Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in various projects, having being a part of the Brazilian Chapter of Internet Society communication\'s team, conducted research on COVID-19 related data protection policies as a Research Intern for the Digital Rights Foundations in Pakistan, and delved into data protection public regulations research as an Assistant Researcher at the CyberBRICS Project at Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV). In 2020, I was honored to be selected as an Ambassador for the Digital Citizen Program, a collaborative initiative by the NGO Safernet and Facebook, in which I delivered activities to promoting digital education for public school youth in Brazil. At the moment I dedicate my time working on the third sector fundraising resources for the development of projects to reduce inequalities in the Global South with special focus on digital rights and the use of Big Data for human development. My primary interests revolve around decolonial studies, digital education and citizenship, as well as community networks, public policies for digital rights, and Internet Governance, with a special focus on studying zero-rating and its effects on Latin America as part of my thesis.
