Freedom, Inclusion & Change
The access to it as a human and basic right. Even though in theory we all has humans are "free" in reality and depending on the country, background, economic income you are more or less free. I would love to see and live in a world equality free, where freedom is truly for everyone regardless the race, relion, sexual orientation, political ideology, etc.

Why do you want to participate?
This is the perfect opportunity to mix my personal and professional desire to contribute to a better future for everyone and this type of spaces where youth people can connect, share ideas, and promote change are one in a life time opportunity. I want to inspire and get inspired by people like me that want to do more than just seat behind a screen to ask for a better society and world for every human being.
What does freedom mean to you?
For me freedom means more than just a human right, freedom means being able to express myself without fear, to be myself without being ashamed or minimized. Freedom means to be able to speak my mind out and try to improve what is wrong with our societies, from bottom to top.
What are the biggest challenges?
One of the biggest challenges in terms of freedom in my opinion, is the misinformation we have been facing since we have more access to technology and the internet. Platforms such as social media can be a tool for both keeping, protecting, and promoting freedom- human rights while also being used as a form of misinformation, censorship, and polarization/politization. We live in a world and societies full of black and whites, good and wrong, and the use of these platforms have helped to perpetuate this big division among us.
Do you have a message?
No matter our nationality, color, ideologies, studies, etc. All of our ideas and thoughts are worthy to share and can help in shaping a better world for everyone. We should not be affraid of speaking up and be the change we want to see in this world
