Call for entries - Youth Digital Month 2023   

Communicated – Our Digital Youth Month (MNJ) is back for a 4th edition of the February 1 to March 5, 2023. This annual meeting of under 35 years old allows you to discover the Quebec's digital literacy initiatives and learn about the areas of the future.

Institutions, schools, organizations and businesses are invited to join this collective movement and to become collaborators by presenting activities and/or digital resources on the platform MNJ.QUEBEC.

In 2023, in order to make young people aware of a citizenship issue in the digital age that particularly affects them, the main theme of the Youth Digital Month will be: " privacy ".

"Youth Digital Month is the perfect opportunity to get a ton of information on digital topics. [...] Tech isn't just a hobby, it can also become a job and a career. 

- Jonathan le Prof, ambassador of the 2022 edition, visiting the program Moteur de recherche (Radio-Canada)
