8 new projects under Internet Societys Beyond the Net program

We’re excited to announce 8 new projects under Internet Society’s Beyond the Net program – a program designed to help your big idea to change lives using the net become a reality. 

Projects are usually developed and run by our Chapters or Interest Groups – a group of volunteers on the ground who are united by location or interest. 

Here’s the latest round of inspiring projects:
