<span style="font-family:"Noto Sans",sans-serif;color:#333333">The ICANN for Beginners Virtual Program comprises a series of interactive webinars held via Zoom and will provide participants an overview of the global Internet ecosystem. The program will also
guide newcomers on how they can join the global community and help shape Internet governance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Noto Sans",sans-serif;color:#333333">Tailored to those new to ICANN and held fully virtually, each of the one-hour webinars will focus on a specific topic of interest. The webinars will be moderated by experienced ICANN staff members
with the goal to strengthen the knowledge about and foster participation at ICANN. The newcomers will come away with a better understanding of how the Internet works and the importance of keeping the Internet open, free, and safe for all.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
