In order to accelerate the changes that Latin America needs and promote digitalization, One Young World is happy to work with VOCES. Our shared approach is to listen to the region’s youth and help make sure that their ideas get to where they need to go.
The goal of this first edition is to address the issue of inclusion in Latin America. For the greatest number of people to have fair access to development prospects through digitization, the present and the future must be secured for everyone. It is intended to find solutions to issues that arise in areas like employment, education, and financial inclusion based on this premise.
