Applications are invited for the Movistar – 42 Madrid Digital Inclusion Scholarship 2022. In 2021, Telefónica Hispanoamérica were delighted to have collaborated with One Young World to create for the first time the Digital Inclusion Scholarship. The Digital Inclusion Scholarship selected the brightest and most talented young leaders from: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

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.

They are also pleased to announce that “42 Madrid” from Fundación Telefónica will join the digital inclusion scholarship this year.
