These young leaders attended the One Young World 2021 Summit digitally whilst representing Telefonica in these countries. They created the Digital Inclusion Community Taskforce to join the efforts of several countries in the Latin American region, in order to create an initiative that can make a huge impact regardless of physical borders. The purpose will be to work around education and digital integration in populations in a state of vulnerability.
Therefore, building on the success of the 2021 programme, Telefónica will continue this partnership with One Young World to support young leaders in the field of technology, innovation, digital skills, inclusion and education in rural areas of Latin American countries. They are also pleased to announce that “42 Madrid” from Fundación Telefónica will join the digital inclusion scholarship this year. The selected young leaders will have the opportunity to participate in this year’s 2023 Summit which will take place between September 5-8, in-person in Manchester, United Kingdom.
