Privacy Education

In 2022, Zino co-founded Youth for Privacy, a youth-focused advocacy group advocating for secure technologies, data protection, cybersecurity, and privacy. Youth for Privacy educates young students around the world on the values of privacy and practical ways to maintain privacy online through its workshops.

Within a month of founding, Youth for Privacy joined the United Nations Open Ended Working Group on Information and Communication Technologies. It has hosted workshops in Seoul, New York, San Jose, and Buenos Aires, with plans to host sessions in Uruguay and Costa Rica.

Workshops have also been developed as part of the #Leaders4Tomorrow initiative by the United Nations Office of Disarmament Affairs.
