Applications are open for the VOCES Scholarship for Inclusion to Attend the One Young World Summit 2023. One Young World is pleased to collaborate with VOCES with the aim of promoting digitalization and accelerating the changes that Latin America needs, based on a main premise: listening to the young people of the region and contributing to the fact that their ideas reach d’onde must arrive.

This first edition seeks to tackle the challenge of inclusion in Latin America. Securing the present and the dignified future for all implies addressing the need for equitable access to development opportunities for the greatest number of people through digitalization. Based on this premise, it is intended to seek ideas that address problems that arise in areas such as employment, education and financial inclusion.
