Quote from the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund website in relation to the Grants awarded to 26 Youth Led Organisations this month (August 2023).<br/>The Focus:-<br/>We believe that young people can be a powerful force in the fight for a more inclusive and equitable technology ecosystem. However, cultural, social, and infrastructural barriers often prevent youth-led organizations and intergenerational partnerships from accessing funding and realizing their full power and potential in shaping responsible technology. That begins to change today. The Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund is a first of its kind philanthropic initiative aimed at supporting youth and intergenerationally led organizations shaping the responsible technology movement. The Fund, has raised $2 million from 14 funders, The responsible technology movement is about:Building, shaping, and stewarding our tech ecosystem to safeguard human rightsLeveraging technology platforms to address social, cultural, political, or environmental problemsEnsuring equitable access to the benefits of technologyMitigating the harmful impacts of technology in communitiesArchewell Foundation is one of the contributors to the Fund.<br/><br/>The article accompanying the podcast will be published on my website on Monday evening GMT, giving more details and web links.  This is the first in a series covering all 26 of the recipient organisations. There is also a video version on You Tube at the same publishing time.<br/><br/>Ivy
