Zanzibar Declaration

IFIP TC3 Zanzibar Declaration

IFIP Technical Committee 3 (TC3) agreed in its Annual General Meeting in April 2019, held in Zanzibar, Tanzania, to initiate a declaration on ‘Sustainable Education in a Digital Age of rapidly Emerging Technologies’. This 'Zanzibar Declaration' (ZD) focused on future challenges that arose from rapidly emerging technologies impacting societies and communities. This series of events explored these challenges and proposed approaches to address them.

The ZD considered a range of topics covering recent important digital technology developments, their societal impact, and resulting educational challenges.

To consider challenges in as many countries, situations, local contexts, and experiences as possible, IFIP experts and practitioners were asked to contribute their ideas to support the development of the ZD, using a matrix document. This was a dynamic process, collecting contributions and data, supplemented and updated over time. The outcomes described the different challenges and development paths in different countries.

The activities carried out to achieve a final IFIP TC3 ZD report were as follows:

International webinars on 8 March 2021 (webinar 1), 26 April 2021 (webinar 2), 9 September 2021 (webinar 3) and 5 October 2021 (webinar 4).
A ZD presentation at the Internet Governance Forum on 6 December 2021.
A panel session at WCCE 2022 in Hiroshima.
