DiploFoundation Material Now Available on UNESCO Platform
Diplo’s Internet Governance Capacity Building material is available from the UNESCO Open Training Platform. The aim of this platform is to enhance the availability of training and capacity-building resources developed by a variety of stakeholders worldwide. It also encourages trainers and trainees with free resources, offering them a structured, collaborative space to share their training and to promote any training materials that are freely and openly accessible for non-commercial use.
