 Okay. Hello, hello, hello. Hello, hello. Hello. Testing. We're back. We are back. That means you have to stop talking. We are back. Okay, guys, ladies and gentlemen, friends beyond 2015ers, the future of the UN, and the future of the rest of the day. Okay, guys, we've got Wurley on stage with us again today. My name is Randy. Randy Ramisak. We've got Wurley. He's our social innovator from Chaotic Moon. You heard him earlier, and if you didn't hear him, watch it online because it was a great talk. But we're here to kind of take, get ahead to the next step. We're going to get ahead some more. We're here to find out what did you guys do today? What did you hear earlier and what, honestly, what do you want to tell us? And what we're going to do is actually bring you up here. So we had six workshops today, actually seven if you add South Bend, Indiana. So we've got one remote workshop that's going to join us. So with that, I'm going to start with Live from San Jose, Costa Rica. Uh-oh. Can you hear me? Live from San Jose, Costa Rica, as well as 30 countries representing 50 remote locations, over 5,000 people watching and participating live. We're going to turn to South Bend, Indiana, Notre Dame University to give us a little insight into their workshop. South Bend, can you hear us? Hello, South Bend. South Bend, we're so glad you're joining us, and we are here in San Jose, Costa Rica. We're enjoying a bit of great tropical weather today, and we'd love to hear about your workshop. What was your theme of your workshop, and what did you learn, and what would you like to tell the UN? Great. So let me first introduce, I guess, everyone who is here. I guess I'm the guide, the white shirt. Over there is Karen, we've got Chad, we've got Corey, Kathy, Kimberly, and I'm Daniel. We're all MBA students at the University of Notre Dame, so we're thrilled to be participating and addressing all of you who are over there. It's actually great to be, I guess, even remotely in Costa Rica addressing all of you. So what we did is, we were focusing on the first question of the questions that were addressed with the get-ahead session. So our goal is, how can we promote entrepreneurship using technology? And the audience for this, or the people who should be benefiting, would be young people in developing countries. So first, what we did is we kind of thought about what are some of the issues. There's a lot of people who already tried to incorporate technology into development, but some of the main issues are the cost of technology, its reliability, access, and then also in terms of language. Sometimes, when you're thinking about global solutions, you need to be thinking that we are very barren people in this world and we speak very many different languages and come from very different cultures. So if you're incorporating a global solution, you need to take that into account and somehow turn that, or break that problem and solve for that. And one of the downfalls that many of the initiatives that have been taken are that we speak about all the great things that we currently have in the developed world in terms of internet and, for example, games that can help education and promote these kind of things. But we failed to realize that getting access to the actual technology that you need to look into this information is very hard, especially if we are thinking of rural areas in developing countries, which are some of the people who need this the most. So with that framework in mind, we started thinking about how can we get across those barriers and also doing it in some sort of structure that is very feasible and can be implemented in many of these countries with tools that already exist. So our solutions for that are, in terms of technology-wise, we thought about mobile and radio. Both are two technologies that are prevalent in the majority of the world and because they're both very cheap and they're very reliable. When we're talking about mobile, by the way, we're not talking about smartphones. We're talking about the old kind of Nokia's that were kind of destructible back in the day. And this has been a success story in places, for example, in most of Western Africa. Banks have adopted these in order to create increased banking penetration to people who have neither bank accounts nor access to any of the technology that is needed to access the financial system. So I'll approach the camera now for a little bit and I'm sorry this is really tough but we had to adopt and kind of go into what we were doing. So our idea is that right now in the world we have a lot of information. There's a lot of ideas. There's great things out there that can be taken from source into this broad overarching platform that kind of contains four things. One of them are tools and for education to educate entrepreneurs. When we're talking about this, it's really simple. For example, what is marketing? How can marketing help your business? What is accounting? Why should you do any accounting? These kind of things, really simple things. Other things would be best practices, things that are just useful in terms of knowing. So for example, I think about health issues, keeping a clean counter. That's a good practice and you should adopt it. Then we also have ideas for success stories of entrepreneurs who have been doing this. Notre Dame, I'm going to have to cut you off pretty soon. Other people down here, you need to find a way for other people who are down here who don't have access to anything like that to be able to access those technologies. And that's where you create these notes, which is still rough in terms of who owns that. But it can be radio who brings these people who can hook up technology to access this. They can disseminate this through radio and using mobile phone, these guys down here. But she is listening. Yes, we are here. Yes, we are here. Yes, we are here. Yes, we are here. No. My name is Ignacio. I'm from Costa Rica. My view is a little more global. I think negotiation skills are one of the most important skills that should be inculcated in our educational systems, either if we are from America, Asia, Africa or Oceania, even Europe. I mean, if we as a youth, as a global youth are going to impose changes around the world, we need to be able to negotiate not only with us as a youth, but with our global leaders too. Because if we don't know how to negotiate, if we don't know how to express our ideas, how are we going to tell the leaders that are making the most important decisions, what we feel, what we think and what we want to do. So that's what I take from this seminar. Negotiation skills should be inculcated in our education systems because we need to have the tools to express ourselves and to tell the leaders what we think. Excellent. Good day. My name is Michael Young. I'm from Guyana, which is in South America and the Caribbean. One of the things that I took away from the workshop was that in understanding how to negotiate and in understanding what you want from yourself, what you want for your country and for your colleagues all as a whole, you have to understand that negotiations are things that happen almost every single day. You negotiate for your success, for your future. We are negotiating now with the UN for the way forward in terms of ICTs and development. You're going to communities and you're going to different countries. It's important for you to understand the culture of those people, for you to understand yourself through the impact you want to make and how you want to use ICTs to develop their lives because they too have to be part of the process, part of the decision-making agenda. So in negotiating, you have to involve them. All of the preconceived ideas that you may have of Africa, of India, of China and the Caribbean, you have to erase all of those things in negotiating for success. You have to understand people, their weaknesses and all of their strengths and you have to be able to give and to compromise when it's important. So that everybody walks away from the table with something, you walk away all as winners. And for us in the Caribbean, that's very important. Understanding that we have to negotiate for a better life for all of our youths and I believe too that I've learned from that workshop too, it's important for us to have functions like these where we'll be able to negotiate with the UN and ITU for a better and brighter future for all of our people, all of our young people in the world. Thank you. Wow. I really wanted to have this for the first session because negotiate for success, at the end of the row here, you've got one of the better negotiators I've ever met. So, Worley, how do you see this and what would you offer? So, you know, I think that what interested me about this and first of all, another round of applause because you all spoke very eloquently about that. Yeah, absolutely. I think, you know, it's often, you know, especially when you're young, you're afraid to negotiate. You're afraid to ask for what you want. You're afraid to challenge things and you're afraid of that again because I keep mentioning it as a theme because you're afraid to fail, right? And it's part of the learning process and negotiations is something that you also have to gain experience in. Your question earlier was, what do I think experience has to do with innovation? You know, not a lot, I think, failing helps out and all that but experience in negotiation is incredibly valuable and so I'd like to kind of turn it back to these guys and ask, you know, part of what we're here for at the summit is to find out if you can really influence this process and to do that we have to know something, a specific task, something a little more granular that you would like to ask the UN for and to consider as their meeting about all of these policies and other things that are going to affect you and you guys can go in whatever order you'd like. Already in my mind, one of the things I would want to ask the UN for is to involve more youth in the decision-making process. When making decisions, that will affect our livelihoods collectively and individually whether we're in South America, Latin America, I believe it's important for us to have young people involved at all levels of the decision-making strata because eventually all of the decisions about ICT, technology, development, and we forward censorship and protectionism will all affect us in our lifetime now and as we become adults, we do not want to be... Okay, so with that, I think we're going to play a little bit of music. Wake it up a bit. Music. That was it for music. Music? There we go. Okay, so as I'm introducing, we've got the Creative Digital Independence Group. As you can tell, they were creatively digital and they are independent. So coming on stage will be Stephanie Sue from the USA and also from the USA will be joining her is Amanda Bolton. Great. Music stops. Stephanie and Amanda, thank you for joining us. And again, tell us about your workshop. What did you personally learn and what do you want to offer the UN? Hello, everyone. I'm Stephanie Sue from the United States. I attend Georgia Tech and I'm representing them in their delegation. In this session, it's called the Realize Your Creative Independence. And basically what we did in this session was we worked with the software called Ableton and that allows you to create and edit your own music files. And in this way it, I guess it promoted collaboration among us. And also it showed that being able to promote and to share your own creativity online is a powerful resource that you can use along with selling and things like that. So, yeah, we got to actually design the music that you heard, by the way, was created today in our sessions. So thank you very much. So what I got from it was that we can all be entrepreneurs. My students, well, hi, I'm Amanda, sorry, I'm back up. I'm a Fulbrighter here in Costa Rica and I've been here for a year and a half working with college students in Costa Rica. And the most common thing that I ask them is, what are you going to do when you learn English? And they all say, I got to go to the U.S. That's where all the opportunities are. I'm going. So with this session, I kind of took from it that my students do have these other great opportunities with Ableton, with SoundCloud, with some other websites, Bandcamp, that actually give them the power to create and then sell their own creations online. The morning session about the entrepreneurship, what hand in hand with that. The message to the U.N. is obviously, if you want your unemployment in the youth section to go away, opportunities like this are invaluable. Definitely on your creative independence. The Internet is a powerful tool. And through software, such as like music editing, that's only one venue that you can go through. Being able to use software, being able to use the Internet in order to publish your work, being able to make a profit out of it, being able to share what you love to do, what you, and things like that. That would be the message to you. Key word that I picked up from Cheryl, our moderator, was the democratization of the music scene has happened strictly because of the Internet access. So, if we want to be able to spread this democracy to other regions and other markets, then that's what the U.N. should incorporate, I believe. Worley, do you know anything about creative independence? No. Okay, then that's fine. I thought this was a great session. I mean, we talked last night, there were some of us meeting about the role of creativity and the abundance of tools and information technologies and things that we have in the world today. And those aren't available equally everywhere, but you brought up a great point about the democratization. It's as important to remember that you live in one of the greatest times to be alive ever in the history of our society because we're moving from a world of scarcity and control into a world of abundance and influence, where you can collaborate with people all around the world on something like a music project, where you can have participants that you never even physically meet and you can create these amazing wonderful things and you can monetize them too because there are audiences out there, no matter what you are into, but in this case, music, there are audiences out there that will help drive your creativity and help fund your creativity. Please, yeah. Yeah, definitely on collaboration. That was one of the things that I got out of the workshop also. For the workshop, they put us in pairs. For me, personally, I worked with someone that I didn't know before and collaboration again. Each one of us is creative in our own way and being able to put together our own creativity and the differences in that, we can produce something that we ourselves, we by ourselves may not have been able to produce. It's an interesting segue though to how do you make sure that the entrepreneurs can actually find some financial success out of this model, but I think we'll take that for another time. There's a 30-day free trial of Ableton Live just to throw that out there. Perfect. And you guys want to try it out? Perfect. I love it. Okay, great, great. Free trial. Thank you. Thank you very much. Okay, we're going to move on to something completely different. Volunteering. How does volunteering fit into the world of Beyond 2015? Are we all about making money or are we all about creating the next best gadget or is there some room for volunteering and actually having a bit of true humanitarian spirit and what you do with your time? And with that, we're going to turn it over to Carmen Ramirez. Please join us on stage. What was the question? Absolutely. Whatever you feel comfortable with. Sorry, I didn't, Montserrat's joining you as well. I thought it was going to be two separate sessions, okay. So Montserrat and Nunez as well, yeah? Okay, and can you tell us where you're both from? The volunteering. What we have learned today in the workshop in the volunteering is that it's potentially part of a volunteering group. Most of us are working here for a long time. The most important thing here is that we generate citizenship to participate in the elections and participate so that UN can just volley these projects to integrate the volunteering components. It's either health, environment, gender to activate these organizations to give them power and the option to participate and give their ideas. They give their effort to these organizations. They already exist. There's youth that actually make advantage of the ICTs and it's important to say that with one zero money we can do a lot. We can get to a lot of people, not only the geographical boundaries but actually get to all of Latin America and get to the world. And the ICTs can provide the means to do such a thing and to provide the relevance that is required to achieve this. Also social cohesion is an issue that we can address via ICTs and the most important thing is to actually participate in the volunteering programs and what we're doing is something big and you need to take us into account in all the proposals that are to be done in the new global agenda beyond 2015. Besides what Carmen said, we have to learn that besides being volunteering, being ambassadors of what volunteering means, you may have the doubts about how to help, what program you can just help in to generate options or programs to volunteer or either just go to another continent to just focus on local problematic to generate this volunteering space. In this case the message is to generate the opportunities to participate, to generate the volunteering program using the technologies to involve all of the people in the community. I like the idea of local and you mentioned that there's possibilities for volunteering all over the world, I know you're doing that in Peru and we met a gentleman that was working with you from Belgium who's you and volunteers. Can you tell us what do you think the UN should do? What is the UN's push for actually volunteering more local? How can people actually help in their communities more without actually thinking that they need to get on a plane and go overseas? Please. Well, what the UN must do is that all of the different agencies not only the one for the volunteering program or the United Nations to actually establish contacts with the different organizations of the community, it's not only these agencies but actually there are different programs such as the United Nations Program for Development, the NPD, we have environmental programs and all of these agencies that exist out there that are part of the UN that make an effort to actually seek a way to establish an open channel of communication with these organizations, listen to them and listen to the proposals and include them as part of the activities that are in these programs. So that is important to me. Not only just looking for NGOs or partnerships with NGOs but I believe it's equally as valid to work with volunteering associations for the ones over here. We're here, we're willing to work. We're actually very eager to offer everything we have learned and experiences not only as beneficiaries but we have valid proposals. We want to participate. We are stakeholders. Also, I would also like to talk or speak on behalf of all of my friends. We are conducting a tremendous effort and we must sustain it. There is of course a social benefit but undeniably there is a personal benefit because we grow as people and we must provide all of these benefits and give back to our communities and therefore I believe in volunteering programs. So what I'm hearing is that the United Nations, the big machine needs to take more action to help the local communities and listen to what's coming out of local communities. Great. Really, anything to say, anything to offer? No, I mean I think so the volunteer project which we had a lunch today and we talked a little bit about, I thought was amazing. I mean the thing about volunteering is that it helps breed collaboration and it helps breed collaboration because of the fact that when you volunteer you're not the leader. You're having to participate with a bunch of other people with a bunch of different set of rules and different things and I would encourage everyone here to go out and to volunteer in as many different things as possible. Small things will make such a huge difference in these other organizations but for you, they'll make a huge difference because they'll give you an opportunity to collaborate, they'll give you an opportunity to do some creative thinking and so I'm very big on the volunteering thing and I really liked what this session was about and this project in general. Thank you, thank you very much. It's wonderful. Jumping back into the world of digital, from volunteering back to digital. We're going to hear from the folks that led the session called Build Your Digital Enterprise and to do that we're going to hear from Sharon Nesimu from Kenya and from Lebanon, Mr. Telal. The stage is yours. So tell us, once again, you know the drill. What was your workshop? What did you learn from it personally? What changed about you and what do you want the UN to take forward to help change the way they're thinking post-2015? Okay, the work, first of all, hello, my name is Tal Hussaini. I'm Lebanese and I'm working in Qatar and I'm very proud to be here because I see people from all over, all parts of the globe collaborating. The workshop was called Build My Digital Enterprise. I think it was very beneficial because it, I used to think, to be honest, like many other people that, you know, you would just come up with an idea randomly, just sitting there or you might just, you know, ask some questions, that's it. But through this workshop I learned that, first of all, you have to know a lot about the industry. You have to always ask questions as an entrepreneur or otherwise you won't be able to get solutions or to see where the problem is. You know, you can just sit up with a random person or someone you know from a company and ask them questions, how could we make this better? What's missing? And then you can create a solution for it and you can sell it out in the market. And there are great examples like Alibaba website where you can actually become an entrepreneur. You can buy stuff, get them shipped from any part of the world to your country and then you can start selling them in your country. So examples like this show that even with limited, you know, access or power you can accomplish great things. What I learned from this, what I would like the UN to take from this, based on this workshop, a lot of people were recommending that a lot of people should have access to internet, laptop, and there should be online education, free online education, like being able to take different types of courses, learning from these courses and always develop because there's a lot of people who don't have the financial capabilities to get an education. And another thing is to create policy to enhance or increase, you know, digital collaboration between teachers and private schools and public schools and underprivileged areas. Very good. Thank you. Thank you very much. My name is Sharon. I'm a telecommunication engineering student from Kenya, but I'm representing Taylor Center, the talk foundation here. What I learned from the Build My Digital Enterprise session today, the first course that I actually tweeted was that compliments are the greatest enemy of a startup business, such that when, for the youth when you start in businesses, don't go around fishing for compliments, don't go looking for people to tell you only the nice things, go for a real opinion, for real talk. And secondly, for the youth when you're coming up with your idea, there are so many ideas that you can come up with. So basically, you might take away from the conference so that you should analyze your idea, examine the idea that you have, examine the tools that you have around you, the tools that you can use, and also talk to the people you have. For example, if you know a friend who's a programmer, you don't have to go and, you know, you can talk to them, you can call them over to your place, and you talk to them about it, and they help you in developing your idea. So that was my takeaway from that session, that the ideas don't come from another planet. The ideas are right here within us, especially, I love the idea about a website of people using our hero rats to detect land mines and to detect tuberculosis, and you find that such things, that's a great idea. My message to the UN is concerning the youth in rural areas. You find that for us, we have opportunities, for example, to develop these digital enterprises because we have access to, we have access to ICTs, we have access to computers, to the internet, but you find that the youth in rural areas, mostly, they do not have access to this so they cannot develop the same, share their ideas in the same way. So advocating that the UN can encourage the growth of telecentres where youth can come together, share their great ideas, and also where they can also have access to ICTs so that they can also develop their enterprises. Thank you. Wow, that was phenomenal, both of you. Absolutely incredible. So I loved, obviously, the question always, always, I mean, just, it's amazing. Whirly and I have talked about this earlier today, that, you know, neither of us actually have a deep technology background. I don't think you do. I mean, I didn't learn it in school. It was not what I went to school for, but we both spent a large part of our careers in technology companies, and it was really because we were very curious. It was huge curiosity, and I know it shares the same passion of learning about something that sparks your interest, and then you go deeper and deeper, and you find people that you know that can maybe answer your question, but you always ask great questions, and don't, I take that back, ask every question, even if it's not a good question. You'll figure out quick enough what are the good ones or the bad ones, so just don't be afraid to ask the questions, and it comes into that fear again, but just jump over that. Ask questions of everybody that you can that you think can help you. I also love the idea of compliments or the enemy of your success. I've heard that a number of times in my career, I could go on and on in that, but Hurley, why don't you take that one? I think I agree. You were both fantastic in articulating what you guys worked on. I love this one too, because you and I share a lot of passion about entrepreneurs and startups, and specifically starting new things and enterprises. I think it's important to remember, the compliments, that's absolutely true. I always like projects where everyone has a problem with the project, because I have a greater chance of success in that project, because I have better feedback coming in. It's like programming a computer. Garbage in, garbage out. If everybody's telling you it's great and everything, then you're just not going to make any real efforts and probably not make any progress. I think there's two things I'd like to add to what you guys said, and that's one. I think you should have a credo as far as you're starting your enterprise as your entrepreneurship, and that credo goes like this. When you wear it out, you make do or you do without, right? You have to do that in starting any enterprise effort. The second thing is, just remember that startups are always and new digital enterprises are always in one of two phases as a system model. They're struggling or they're out of business. At those times where you're struggling with all of that, you're getting the bad feedback, but you don't quite know how to respond to it, those are really the best times you look back upon and really find the most value in creating your enterprise. Thank you. I think just my message to everyone here is that you all have great ideas. We all have great ideas, so just be willing to take the risk. Don't be afraid to bring out your great ideas and all the best in that. Yep, totally agree. Thank you very much. Thank you. So if you're not sitting up straight, I have just the session for you. I have no idea why it's called this, and I'm really anxious about it, but the next session is called Straightening. Straightening entrepreneurial skills. I'm about to find out why. Please join me on stage from Costa Rica. Sylvia Camacho from Fialtaia from Botswana from Oman, Nadir Al-Asiri from Nigeria, Somto Fab-Ukozur and also from Nigeria, Anita Otto. Please. We really need the exercise. Standing up won't hurt him. Success makes you fat. I think that's what he just said. I didn't say that, actually. Okay, so... Maybe it's being old. Folks, please enlighten us with what the straightening entrepreneurial skills mean. What was the workshop intended to do and what did you take away? And most importantly, as our last session, what do you want the UN to take away? Okay, my name is Sylvia Camacho from the Mardenko Foundation here in Costa Rica, and I'm going to speak in Spanish. The workshop to strengthen you is about the technology for the image with the end to create proposals for the technology. Good afternoon. I'm Somto Fab-Ukozur from Nigeria. So what we're taking back to the UN is we'd like the UN to encourage entrepreneurship among rural areas so that they could strengthen the creation of local services, because the local services can be addressed by youths in those areas. We want ICT to be accessible, affordable and available for all youths, especially females and physically challenged so that and this can be done in collaboration with the UN, the government and the public sector. Then we also want to include ICT as a compulsory module for education and vocational training, and we also have to make it in such a way that could be exciting for young people. Then we want to encourage ICT to be accessible for market research. Then there was a quote that was made by one of our trainers that actually struck me, I would like to share with us. It says that everything around us, everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were not smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use to learn that you will never be the same again. Thank you. Good afternoon. Is it afternoon or evening? Time differences. My name is I'm representing Botswana. I must say that the workshop that we attended was highly interactive. By show of hands, can you just see the people who attended it? How awesome was that? It was incredible. We learned so much from it. But what we took away from it as a group, my group was made of six people all from different continents, which is really awesome because then you get to hear the different views from, in essence, the different continents. Because of the high infiltration of mobile devices, we were proposing that governments adopt more mobile health devices. The market is already people are using those mobile devices. For governments to adopt those, just as an example in Botswana, the project that I'm involved in, we won a youth innovation competition. The main thing is to pilot an M Health application in public hospitals and clinics. Just as a way we're working with the Ministry of Public Health in Botswana. It's really great in that when the pilot is successful, not if, then they are willing to adopt it in some of the hospitals and clinics. The other thing that our group shared was that there's a digital divide. Everybody can agree on that. It's to encourage or to get the United Nations to encourage the governments to bridge the digital divide through digital literacy, making accessible internet and all of that accessible and available. And also one idea that struck a lot of questions was the Intergovernment Education Organization. Which would be it's mandate would be to push the agenda of standardizing technology access in schools in terms of quality and quality and quantity. So from the six people who are representing the six different continents, those were their ideas and we hope that we get to see some of them adopted. Good evening everyone. My name is Sean Anita from Antigua the islands. I must say I had a wonderful time in my session. It was very interactive. We stand most of the time. We were pretty much involved in the session. What I got most from my session is they gave us a few case studies or plays of the right way of how we can act in a business area or what not to do or how to deal with situations better, how to deal with your peers, what you should do or shouldn't do. And they put us in groups and the topic that I like most about what my group came up with we came up with several ideas that government can instill in a community to help our youth in ICT but the one I like the most is transfer of knowledge by business owners. As we mentioned, as some of the world mentioned earlier we can't always leave it up to government. Sometimes the business owners are used. We have to get involved and we have to do the best that we can do. And what I like most is being an entrepreneur we have the resources, we have the knowledge just take risks, just go out there and do it. Be your own graphic designers, be your graphic designer, your own flyers be the community hardware technician guy. Just take risks and do your own thing. And that's for the business owners. You can do road shows, you can go out to different communities and instill your knowledge in the colleges, the schools university, let them know it's not that difficult as you think. You have to try and instill your knowledge, let them know that you can start it. This is what you do, getting the basic knowledge and encouragement that they would need from the business owners also from the government for them to be a better entrepreneur to start their own thing, live their dream and do the best that they can do. Thank you. Good evening everyone. My name is Nadir, I'm from the Sultanate of Oman. What I've learned from my session today is the importance of before applying for a job or before doing anything, you need to know what are you getting yourself into. Do you really want to work for someone or do you just want to be an entrepreneur by your own self? Let's take myself for example. I work as an HR in the morning and at night time I'm a chef and I've started this business thank God to ICT I started it through Instagram. Most of my customers came through Instagram and I would say that before applying for anything you need to know how to get into it and also the transfer of knowledge we mentioned one of the points she mentioned earlier is transfer of knowledge. Transfer of knowledge is when anyone is going to between the phase of people graduating from university, from schools or college on the phase of applying for a job you need to have mentors and people who are very successful in the country to go up and speak to these people and support them through giving out road shows especially for the people who can't get to the city you have these people coming to them to have a mobile road show and advising people. In simple words I'd say thank God for ICT and the support of this. Thank you. So before we close I think I heard that your suggestion to the UN is they need to create a new UN agency. So this is the inter-governmental technology education agency so give us a little bit more insight into what you're thinking there. I wish the lady from Malaysia was here, she would articulate it better but there is an organization for everything, there's an organization for the international monetary fund there's an organization for yeah, the different organizations but none that is specifically looking at education so to speak and that's how the idea came about that we need to look at something that looks specifically at education and pushing the agenda of ICT in education. I'm pushing you on this because I really like the idea. It's very controversial to stand up here in front of ITU and say that there needs to be an organization that pushes technology education in the UN that maybe you don't feel like there is one that's doing a good enough job so I do think that there are agencies in UN and inter-governmental organizations around the world that try to help with education but we are definitely at an inflection point, we have so much technology that is infiltrating everything we do today but we don't necessarily have a good sense of what we need to learn if you're not at Stanford you're not at MIT in a school that actually bred that in the core, you might be using the device but you don't necessarily have the core skills and so where do you get those core skills and where do the governments get the core skills in the curriculum to actually teach within their society so I like the idea and maybe Mr. Sunoo will pick it up May I say something on that? Please. Thank you. I think as you mentioned in the institution we're basically zooming on ICT but I think we can also involve it in our school curriculum as well why maths and English is something that you normally have to have in school I think by now we're at a stage where we can do something similar to that where ICT is concerned the basic of a 5 year old or 6 year old can learn ICT as in computer that's something that we're trying to do now in the islands to instill an elementary school to learn the fundamentals of a computer and as you go on to high school you learn basically software hardware, computer repairs and we have just launched a project called the gate initiative where there's a government assisted in the technology where as you we are trying for students who are special to high school and want to get a bit more into technology like web journalism diagnostics different things like media photography and different things like that and I think at this point each government can start pushing ICT in the high school just as maths and English and I think maybe a few years to come we'll get where we need to be please a comment it's great that we have initiatives like beyond 2015 not only do you get to share your own ideas of how you think the world can be a better place but you also get to learn in depth what the organizations that are existing are doing with regards to those issues for example today we learned a whole lot more about what the ITU actually does or what it stands for before if you didn't have that interaction with them you wouldn't have known how to also create value in terms of what you actually do your own initiatives and align them with what is existing or where we're going with this yeah just to mention you're absolutely preaching to the choir I firmly believe that you've hit on something that the UN should take very seriously because we are certainly there even the United States is having a real difficult time with education at the right levels to actually put in the science and technology type education that will produce the next leaders that can actually create the devices that we're all using today so that is near and dear to my heart and I think really starting anything to add to that I agree I think there's a fine line I like that you called her out and I love how you handled it but I think the important thing to understand about education when it comes to technology is that it is changing at such a rapid pace that in fairness to these organizations and especially the colleges I never went to college and I speak at a lot of colleges and part of what I talk about is their role in technology's future it's very hard for organizations and institutions that can't turn on and on to keep up with that ever increasing pace of technology when we started chaotic moon a new cell phone would come out every year and then about a year ago there were cell phones by some manufacturers that every three months it would come out so in three months whatever that technology was it was end of life they already knew that they were going to get rid of it and so there's an incredible challenge and I think this is out of everything the one that's nearest and dearest to me and I think that we should really all spend some time on how do you keep educating and keep up with your education when things are changing at such a rapid pace and continuing to change faster there are governments all over the world want the next Silicon Valley and that's just not going to happen without the right level of education and the right different types of critical thinking skills and embodying that within their society so as much as you can push for education to be at science, math these things into the curriculum eventually starts to trickle up and creates different opportunities within countries very much so that wraps up Get Ahead but you can't leave quite yet we have Mr. Sunoo I believe is going to join us as well as Mr. Rin Matkathia from Botswana and they're going to give us a little bit of a summary of what they've heard and the charge for the future of the evening and tomorrow to start fresh early I think it's 7.30 start really early start Mr. Sunoo, please what do you think you're not in jeans I thought you were going to wear jeans for the evening we got you covered so Mr. Sunoo, please I like for both you and Mr. I'm struggling Matkathia I believe is that how you pronounce Matkathia my apologies I'd love for you to tell us what you heard and what you think in the context of youth and ICTs in Botswana please folks I'm the principal youth officer in the ministry of transport and communications in Botswana a lot has happened today there were some issues that we've discussed here as young people I always say is good to work with young people because you get to learn more you would think you know things but then when they speak you begin to understand that you don't know anything so we appreciate forums such as this because it gives us you know time as youth development officers to learn more from you guys you have discussed issues on building your digital enterprises you have negotiated for successes you are bringing in change through volunteerism and different other ways and we are saying we embrace this as Botswana you know we embrace young people we have come up with competitions in trying out the innovations that would change the way we've been doing things because we have a lot of challenges in the health sector in the agricultural sector the education sector so we allow young people to come up with you know ideas that can be turned into businesses for your own empowerment as young people to be able to even employ other young people so I must say I really enjoyed myself today and I got to know that young people regardless of where they are they are young people they think alike whatever problems that they face even though maybe at a different scale they are the same problem so I'm happy to be around and going back home it'll even you know as sisters because currently we are trying to come up with an ICT empowerment strategy for young people so it's going to assist us in you know looking into avenues of bringing that change in our country thank you so much thank you wonderful Mr. Sunoo what do you think yes I don't know what to say I become timid with such bright people it's not easy to talk in front of you this morning I was more at ease but after listening to all this bright idea I don't know what to say what I will say would be less than what you said but since I was given the responsibility to say something I've been listening to your summaries a summary is already losing part of what was said so if I have to summarize again we'll lose two times so but I try to do it instead of going into detail I will try to summarize into two streams first stream is what do you want the UN to get from you whereas we're talking about beyond 2015 beyond 2015 because 2015 is the year for where we have to achieve the million development goal and life will not stop in 2015 we have to continue and you want the views of the young people you are to be taken into account so I got from your discussion that you would like UN to get involved in decision making very important but again imagine that we are all called to go to UN we will not have enough space for all of you you have a way of participating in the UN the way of participating in the UN UN is an intergovernmental organization get your point already back home to your government and your government will definitely take it this is one way of doing it the other way of doing it is what you are doing today this kind of meeting of gathering will come out with a declaration this declaration will forward it to the UN and then I say that we take that as one of the important point but again as you rightly said you learn how to negotiate what you bring to UN maybe in the course of negotiation some part of it will be lost you have also to agree that you may not have everything so you have to give up something and get something else I also get from you that you would like UN to work for access I will summarize in access and affordability for those who do not know the difference here the most important is affordability because when I go to the shop I can access to everything in the shop but I will buy only with those I can access to and accessibility is a big issue so you are here UN to make sure that not only you have access to the IT equipment and curriculum and whatever and also they be affordable for you and taking about affordability you rightly put you rightly put the fingers on something that is very important let me put it this way you are privileged to be here today even in your own country you are privileged and I was very happy to see that you thought about those in rural areas who don't have the same opportunities that you have and then the issue of developing telecenter all those things have been taken into account and I am sure that this will appear in the declaration that we will go to the UN so this is the UN part as you know by the end of this meeting we are going to have a declaration that will summarize all those discussions and this declaration will be taken to the UN General Assembly by the president of Costa Rica so your message will be heard to the UN what I want to tell you here is that whatever you have to know one thing those who are talking, who are discussing in the UN are parents their mothers their fathers they cannot ignore what is happening to their kid when they go back home either one of their son or their daughter or their nephew or their niece doesn't have a job then what you are saying is a big concern to the UN also and I can tell you that empowering young people is for the UN and older parents is a way of fighting against poverty is a way of fighting for peace because poverty will bring unrest and all the bad things you can imagine everything is about poverty everything is about poverty and I want you to go back with a quotation of the UN labor organization ILO in 2014 in the declaration of Philadelphia ILO was saying already that poverty anywhere constitutes a danger for prosperity everywhere so which means that the UN will conscious a long time ago that we have to fight against poverty that ICT being a cross cutting sector can help us to fight against that so we can be rest assured that the UN will take it very seriously of course as a UN Specialized Agency ITU I've been noting down here my colleague I've been noting down whatever you said here make sure that we will take them properly in our working program this is another way also of giving justice to your work here now this was the UN site your site now when you come to this kind of gathering of course you learn a lot of things some said it's so good to meet other people you have got some mentor who taught you how to negotiate how to have your own enterprise and all those things but the most important is what do you take home from here what do you take home because the declaration we are sending to the UN you don't control it anymore in life when you give the initiative to someone you give all the power to the person but when you take the initiative yourself you give yourself all the power so I would say from all what you are going to hear during the two or three days please think about one, two, maximum three ideas, main ideas that you bring back home and when you wake up tomorrow when you reach home you wake up the next day you see how you can change your life and you see how you can change your family and you see how you can change the life of your community you see how you can change the life of your country of course in Brazil so you will change the face of the world this is what I will tell you as a kind of takeaway of this kind of meeting of course we are going on our side to continue to have a lot of opportunities for you to meet and also one of the panelists here said she met a lot of people the most important is that you don't just stay here you don't turn your back to the people you met here you are going to have a new network those people you have to keep in touch try to make sure that you have a generation here a kind of fellowship fellows who are going to work together no matter where you are coming from I say that this is also one of the takeaway so these are few from what I heard in the room this is my small summary what I heard from the room again I would like you to give a big applaud to all the women I will tell you why I was looking at the panelists out of all the panelists I found few men I was ashamed you guys did not they were all women which is very encouraging for our society for our community I am very happy the special envoy for youth is here so I think that he is the right person the ladies you did young girl you did very well so you will be mothers you will be also the mentor you will be the one who are going to build this society because the society is built at the childhood and as we said this morning ethics is going to be taught by the family and ethics will be taught by the mother more than the father so I was very happy to see that you were so active in this meeting so in this note I would like to thank all the panelists to thank all of you and to thank also all the facilitators who really facilitate your workshops to get this fantastic result once again I cannot just summarize and of course thanks to Randy so I think that this cup should become a cup of this meeting absolutely so thank you very much thank you to all of you thank you very much thank you it's time to adjourn thank you very much for staying thank you very much we are almost coming to the end of the day we just have 15 more minutes of a very exciting competition we're going to present you and also final announcements so bear with me I know we're all very tired but this is an amazing event filled with amazing people amazing competitions amazing things happening lots of challenges for our minds and our creativity so let's just take this last 15 minutes and please finish enjoying now we want to announce that beyond 2015 this might be safe video global competition and I would like to invite Kate Pavlichic project manager for UNICEF's Voice of Youth Citizens Initiative and Paul Connolly head of communications of ITU thank you very much it's great to have you here first I would like to ask the first question to you it seems that this is a very exciting day it's not over yet I heard we are going to launch a global video innovation competition can you tell us a bit about it please indeed good evening everyone I know it's been a long day we're going to be really quick and there's still a lot happening this evening but this is a summit which is full of surprises so it gives me great pleasure to announce the ITU UNICEF and it's going to be a very important component of our child online safety awareness raising program it's a video competition with slight difference we're looking for a concept for a 30 second video so you can submit it in writing in photograph in video however you like a concept for a 30 second video that you think will have impact here today in San Jose but also for everybody who's listening through the webcast and everybody who's participating online the competition is open to everyone and I think Kay has extra details yes Kay tell us how the competition is going to work please great good evening everybody so I just want to emphasize that we are really looking for your ideas I'm sure you've all had a time where you've seen a video at school or on TV raising awareness about something and you watched it and you were like what was that I could do something so much better and that's the opportunity we're giving you from this evening for the next week we're asking you to come up with a concept so an idea you don't have to make the video yourself talking about an issue around internet safety and online safety for young people it could be on an issue like cyberbullying it could be about information privacy how you feel is the strongest message that you want to convey tomorrow you'll have the opportunity to talk a lot more with everyone here about how we communicate messages around ICT and internet safety and then afterwards you'll be given some time in the be smart be safe session to start working on the video concept you can as mentioned you can submit it in writing you can film yourself you can record yourself the tablets that allow you to do all of that the competition will be open for a week the entries will be submitted via the beyond 2015 google plus page and when you go on there you'll actually see under be smart be safe there will be a special community I think it's called where you can upload the video and that's where we will select the winner from and how we'll contact them as well you're welcome to submit your concepts in English, Spanish or French we have people who will help us translate them for everyone else the videos we're going to select the top ten concepts that we like through a panel of judges from UNICEF ITU and some partner organizations and then we're going to select the top one and that top concept will be actually created into a real animated video by UNICEF and UNICEF and ITU are going to use that video in our awareness raising efforts on internet and child internet safety over the coming months so you're really going to have the opportunity to have your idea created into something that's going to go all around the world and I think that's another way where what you do and what you learn here has the potential to be taken much further so there is information quite a lot of detailed information as well as some tips and hints about how to produce your video video concept it's available under the beyond 2015 website under be safe be smart but also I would urge you to read that information tonight and then if you have any questions you'll be able to ask us tomorrow welcome to come and ask the questions you can tweet them we'll try answer them as well but we're really excited and I'm really looking forward to seeing these concepts and actually turning them into a video that will be used with young people around the world thank you very much I would like to thanks again for the information and encourage everyone to participate in this very exciting competition thank you very much the January sessions are coming
