SOCHUM: Bridging The Digital Divide
Welcome to the Social, Cultural, and Humanitarian Committee on Bridging the Digital Divide! For decades, the global community has been working towards a more connected world, yet to this day billions of people remain offline. Day by day, as technology races forward, bringing AI, satellite broadband, and new digital tools, the gap between connected and disconnected communities risks becoming unbridgeable. This committee will tackle the urgent challenge of closing the digital divide by exploring innovative solutions and policies to ensure that no one is left behind.
Position Papers Due By 10/07 @ 11:59 pm
