The WITFOR agenda does not specifically include young people directly into the event, but leaves space for creative inputs. Therefore the WITFOR National Organizing Committee and The  Steering Committee agreed upon implementation of youth initiatives proposed by youth.

YOUTH PROJECT IDEAS initiative is to gather best youth project ideas concerning digital divide to on-line database and to promote this database among WITFOR delegates and other international events. You can view this database on-line in FLASH (this presentation will also be distrubuted for WITFOR delegates togeather with forum outcomes in compact disk).

ARTISTIC SHOW ON WITFOR THEME initiative was organized by youth organizations on 26-th of August in "Savivaldybes" square. Around 60 young people were gathered to show that WITFOR Vilnius 2003 is going to create a network which will grow and will change "information divide" into "global information society". Event was showcasted on national television "TV3", regional television "Vilnius TV" and also national radio channel "Žiniu radijas".

Seminar for youth called "YOUTH INFORMATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN LITHUANIA" was the third youth initiative.
