The APEC Youth Knowledge Network Sylvia Li Chinese Taipei
What is YKN? Abbreviation for “Youth Knowledge Network” K-12 students across the APEC economies facilitate the connection through a shared network.
New Era of Human Network
Connected we grow Divided we fail
Digital Divide The gap between those who can effectively use new information and communication tools, such as the Internet, and those who cannot. One challenge is that a consensus does not exist on the extent of the divide
Close the Divide Are we aware of the common problem? If the answer is “Yes,”… Is there possibility to bridge the gap?
