 1, 2, 3, probando, probando, yep a ver, aquí, está bien aquí está, ya está probado están probando, están probando ya están probando probando, hay un cierto ruidito cierto ruidito pero, yo creo que está todo bien está todo bien ok, this is English, right? so ¿cuál canal es inglés y cuál es español? ustedes es canal 2 de canal 6 ah ok, for English is channel 2 and Spanish, yeah channel 6 good morning to all of you, let's continue with procedures after a very active interesting starting of our debate we are going to continue here do you have note on the background of this session I am going to go as quickly as possible to our substance the debate pretends to be a high level settlement that includes keynote speakers, mentors everyone at the same level for the recommendations on how to empower the youth to change the world through the use of ICTs this is the big thing the debate will also link the current decision makers at public and private sectors with their future global change members so both sides can learn from the experiences of each other the guiding question for the debate will be how do we make sure that ICTs are recognized as a tool in the post 2015 development agenda so we will alternate with the different sectors in the discussion and I invite the audience online and in the room to share their views on the debate, the social media using the hashtag numeral beyond 2015 the first thing that I will ask is the secretary general I do to start this debate from a local perspective I'm a dual secretary of international communication is the United Nations for ICTs and you are a primary advocate and admire the way you to empower youth to ICTs you look back at yourself at the age of 25 years what platform do you have to express your views and how do you see future generations having more opportunities this is the kind of questions that I received the ones that you only read to all people but we are not all because we are all young and hard and we are participating with tremendous youth spirit here thank you Ambassador yes, last week I turned 60 but I was telling my friends I was still 23 times 20 or 20 years and 40 years of experience because I feel blessed actually one thing when I was a student we were innovative too imagine there was no Twitter no Facebook no internet especially no Skype I was thrown in the cold coming from Mali the north of Mali in the Sahara desert where I was born to the very cold St. Petersburg in Russia in Moscow became masters and my PhD in engineering and became a satellite engineer to communicate with my parents I sent a letter it would take one month to get there one month back so imagine among our friends one of us received a letter everyone would congratulate you for having received the letter that's why how we were but we were creative because we became ambitious I became an engineer I was taught to try to be the best in everything I do and I'm happy to be like you today to be a generation like you it was one of my dreams I had big dreams at the time I was taught to know that anyone can have a dream even behind bars and that three times there are three types of dreamers and leadership there's one type of theater who would dream of something big so big that would wake up in part it was huge another type of leaders who wake up after a big dream I say it was just a dream and they go back to sleep and guess what and there's a third type of dreamer who would say oh I can do this and we'll share that dream and that's what people call a vision a vision is a shared dream that is one of the things I learned from university when I thought about Secretary General I too was the highest post in my field as an engineer it was not a dream too big for me I started working on it in my life I've been lucky to see so many people who are leaders of course I've seen some poor leaders to go back to sleep some of them who are sweating but there are enough leaders who would sit down write down, take notes and in the morning they will share those dreams and that's the type of leadership that I'm expecting from you guys here thank you for this reminder of how build career and you build your aspirations which is always an important reference for important people to know to Maria Gomez you had a very important function as Secretary General of the United Nations in a very interesting conference it was one of those models very interesting exercise for people to approach institutions like United Nations and where international community gets together so I would like to have your input on how the conference went on the role of ICTs if you really believe this is a real tool of empowerment for youth we gathered almost 350 students in January age range 14 to 19 they were quite young the conference was structured the main theme was ICTs as a means for development peace and prosperity first of all about the theme we think that our students they think well ICTs Facebook, Twitter skype and LinkedIn was not their thing but it was a little bit complicated at first I don't know some said I don't know what ICTs mean other said international telecommunication union that's what they thought I've never heard of that and they said I've never seen that meeting I remember when they entered the room the first days and we had the keynote speakers we had Mr. Ture the ambassador of Costa Rica we were talking about child protection privacy cyber terrorism we were talking about internet as a human rights I remember the students they discussed that for three days they wrote resolutions of course the resolutions were not sent to the UN they were just resolved what happened at the end of the conference was quite amazing we had the feedback we talked about the conference they said great debate great talk and this was the student who said now now I got the thing I said really ICTs as a way forward to development peace and prosperity the aim of the conference was in my opinion to see how that how Facebook, Twitter others become development and then through development education, peace and then prosperity and how it was key for the future but most importantly how he as a young person could have better it's very interesting because with the testimony you got a very good result there was a conception about how this approach could serve to the big cause of these development prosperity and from there is that you can think about starting the engagement to do that our idea here is to see how we can from the point of view of the private sector, the international sector the government sector we can all put our forces together and develop programs that could empower youth and facilitate the use of ICTs we have with us the minister of science technology communications of Costa Rica Alejandro Cruz Molina thank you very much for being with us today we would like to know what are the programs your ministry has in place and how you are developing these activities because one thing that is very important is political commitment and political commitment apart from the conception of the ideas can be reflected most important way in the budgetary commitment so are your political commitment and budgetary commitment together are you having problems with the ministry of finance to realize your political wishes you send me three questions at least but let me speak a little bit about the Costa Rican experience the good and the bad about because the resources as well as the mission and the vision that we have the ministry of science technology and telecommunications is a tripod that tripod is based on three basic elements human capital innovation and productivity at the small and medium enterprises and telecommunications and the digital world as empowering tools for both for the human human resources for people as well as for businesses and the society in general being human capital the main our main and first and foremost mission institutional mission for the young people we have established several programs and we interact very much with a great number of students at the great high school level and university and great school level let me just mention some very briefly in Costa Rica we have regional and national science and technology affairs and that relates us with a lot of innovative creative projects and at different levels at the end of these programs we have some international competitions and I was talking here with Natalia who went to the International Science and Engineer Affairs supported by Intel every year for the last more than 10 years very nice group of Costa Ricans boys and girls go to participate in a in a worldwide competition probably 160 countries over 1500 students and then we feel that that contributes a lot to what we call vocation towards knowledge and innovation the other programs that we have that are similar relate to the national and world robotic competition to the Latin American and Spina American Olympics in math, physics chemistry, biology and probably what these efforts today do is a website called talentohoeing that that geo.co talentohoeing which I invite you to visit is a platform that started with a couple of 100 students then it went to 600 now it's over 1700 boys and girls that are sharing their experiences that are participating in other programs that relate them science and technology this country wants to be in the transition from an efficient economy which uses resources to an innovation economy and we cannot do that if we don't have the proper human capital so for that reason we hold next to this this platform we hold first that relate to graduate students scholarship first we are implementing we have been implementing them for 25 years scholarship fund but next year we hope to have new resources to even extend those programs to young people who will go to study abroad or in the country at the graduate level masters or PhDs but also we want to support to other programs in the direction one is updating professional Costa Rica Certifica and to comply with the needs of the productive sector so they become employable in the cases that's needed and the other very dear program to us is entrepreneurship program the country has already a network of incubators and we feel that that support more incubators we will have more and more small and medium enterprises related to technology to quality jobs and opportunities for young people in fact in the area of telecommunications we have already been talking about establishing something similar to what's called WIDA in the telephonica world of course it would be open to other operators is to give you an example of how we comply with our mission of fostering vocations towards science and technology thank you very comprehensive answer that shows really how Costa Rica has had a tremendous transformation and innovation in the field and you have been an example in our region in Latin America about these new avenues and possibilities in being in tune with modernity and progress which is a very important thing and it looks like you really understood on the time the needs of transformation countries like Costa Rica that has been on the agricultural sector very powerful continues to innovate and to create programs not only to the benefit of rural areas but also the more sophisticated technological aspects this is a good way to pass now to Howard Charney our senior Vice President Francisco who already gave us a very good approach on how his company and previous experiences combine the approach for the future and the way the youth should take the challenges not only of life but also of productivity and success ideas that are then were challenges a very different way now you can elaborate a little bit more about how do we really promote no graduates how we need to create special conditions for getting productivity private sector or how the companies of the future are going to prepare better technicians and better innovators let me tell you this precondition to the creation of this information society the precondition is education you go nowhere without an education nowhere you have no job you have no future so the precondition is an excellent education and so the people who we hire the company hires they are very educated individuals and so one of the things that we have to work on as a society is to provide a high level of education to everybody who wants it it should be universal it should be varied it should be the needs of individuals study dance and art and also technology and also engineering and so when we talk about how do you make this society accurate as it will we create educated people then we provide those educated people with opportunities sometimes the opportunities are created by yourself when I started companies the risk of failure was high but you know the upside was also very high and so I encourage people to take risks I encourage people to especially young people to put a downside risk is low take the risk and what's going to happen along the way is you will create value now gentlemen in the last session it's sounding very capitalist not necessarily because people take risk to create socially beneficial enterprises enterprises that have nothing to do with profit like some diabetes in Mexico that has nothing to do with profit it's not really has to do with the fact that it's an epidemic so I think the question you ask is how do we get from here to there and the way we get from here to there is a clear education agenda and then an openness of our society to admit of people to take risks and to and for them to fail you have the word it came out in the last session to fail it's very difficult to start a business because of the business fail your cd is staying when I come from if you start a business and the business fails who cares you start another one you start google what does the difference this make I can tell you how many risks I've seen in people fail, fail, fail and then they went to a company and other people started facebook you know it's like it's good so there's something cultural it's not just education it's also movement of culture agendas thank you very much somebody this is one of the ways to be an entrepreneur is not to fear and just to move ahead at the end we don't have existentially experience at the end is the accumulation of mistakes the accumulation of bad judgment and then you say I want to do this again and sometimes you do it again Thomas Edison said when he was asked about the development of the first talking machine and he had failed a thousand times and he was asked what was his first word he said no I know no ways how not to make a talking machine this is okay it's very okay and then there's another aspect which is motivation in one of those forums I asked to a youngster how do you get forced to this very simple I told my friends I do things when I'm me so he move on and became an inventor and he's 24 years old today and now I would like to turn to Natalia Rodriguez a rhythm mister reference to your work this operations engineer in telco corporation and US engineer and player friend Tel what was your concern what do you think that what do you think that the youngsters trying to be part of the whole process innovation and technology and getting the right opportunities being taken seriously how do you see your role well the way I see it when I just graduated in May so I'm pretty just two months being an engineer and the thing that I see well I want to focus when women because this is like the key of the engineering feel not a lot of women like to get the engineering career the engineering majors I would like to share an experience when I was in my engineering school technological Monterey normally when I asked to finance girls why why they are starting finance they said to me well I like I like science but I was too scared to study engineering because I thought that was pretty difficult so I was one of the three women who studied electronics in my year we were almost 50 with only three women so my major concern is to incentive to promote engineering and women normally I saw men in facebook that normally families they promote to women is to be a princess not to be brilliant so my major concern here is we have to start promoting technology from kids age you see now take a tablet a smartphone we were in this ST Y este es el punto específico en el que podemos llevar a los niños y comenzar a dar la idea de crear innovación. Otra cosa es la quita de mañana, es la quita de que vamos a tener mañana. Entonces, este es mi punto específico en el que tenemos que comenzar a promover la tecnología de educación. Muchas gracias. Creo que este mensaje es muy importante para mantenerlo en mente, para repetir y repetir lo más posible. Este es uno de los objetivos de los Estados Unidos. Entonces, la Comunidad Nacional ha creado una agencia específica en la mujer que trabaja en empoderar a las mujeres para darles oportunidades de igual, para promover a los niños y para hacer el plazo. Una quita de igual, en la que los bolsos y las chicas, los hombres y las mujeres pueden trabajar juntos y trabajar juntos. Eso es muy importante. Muchas gracias por decirle a nosotros estas impresiones. Ahora, vamos a estar en la empresa. Un grupo que ha sido el centro de ideas y innovaciones. Me pregunté a un nuevo co-founder de Subchata. Y tienes que trabajar en esta innovación. Tienes otra empresa, Colneview. Tienes las puertas disponibles, internet. Y también tienes una nueva empresa, con el tema de las fotos y las memorias. Pero tienes que tener algunos investidores. Tienes dinero para mover tu negocio. ¿Qué es lo difícil del principio? Para mostrarles, para convencerles. Es importante darles una foto. Gracias por ver la pregunta. Tienes que entender al final del co-founder. Porque creo que este mundo de las personas, tiene que estar en el principio del co-founder. Y es muy romántico desde el principio. Pero es la vida de la persona, continuamente incómoda. Y eres incómoda, siendo incómoda. Y creo que es una escuela que te enseña que es un tiempo difícil, como un co-founder. Pero también creo que es un co-founder. Es un viaje. Es mucho más importante los resultados. Es sobre lo que permanece. No es un métodito, es un métodito. Es un métodito. Es tan raro que llegue en el cuarto de la casa. Es sobre algo que se ve más de lo normal. Pueden que lo vea. Pero más importante, alguien que nos diga que es diferente. Todos los padres son casi lógicamente los estudiantes de la escuela. Los entrepanores que sé, han dejado de la escuela. Esa es una de las más grandes mentiras. Y para realmente entender quién es la que funda y quién no, es la que vive en el centro de la realidad. Porque, principalmente, entreprenuers, son personas que son confortables, con ganas. Comfortables, con frecuencias, sin embargo, no es una norma. Y tienen esa self-confidence de poder. Ellos pueden hacer cualquier cosa que te diga. Pero tu pregunta también es otra cuarta. Es una de las normas de profe, Ridley. Y creo que hoy, entreprenuers, son no entreprenuers de profe. Hoy, entreprenuers, siguen la lógica de la experimentación de la ciencia. Es una de las normas de la ciencia. Y algunos de los entreprenuers, hoy, seguimos la filosofía de que hay un problema, la necesidad de la humanidad, la emoción de la humanidad. Eso es importante. Si te resolves eso, ¿cuál es la justificación? ¿Cuál es la diversidad? ¿Cuál es el modelo de advertida? ¿Cuál es el modo? Entonces, entreprenuers, y yo creo que es normal, es una de las normas, es una de las personas que están buscando la habilidad, es una de las normas de la ciencia. Y esos tres tienen que ir a mano a mano. No es solo sobre el beneficio económico, sino sobre el beneficio económico. Y el dinero es el test. Es el test de ¿cuál es lo que quieres hacer sobre la visión romántica? ¿Cuál es lo que quieres hacer sobre las situaciones difíciles? ¿Cuál es la convicción? ¿Cuál es la realidad? ¿Cuál es lo que quieres decir? ¿Cuál es el dinero? ¿Cuál es lo que quieres decir? Es el test. Y en ambos lados, en el primer mes, el dinero de la ciencia y ahora, se investe en un angel y en un número de pequeños negocios. Y nunca veamos los negocios. Nuestro viso es que una persona que está en la mesa, a alguien que es correcto, si, si, es muy fácil ser un entreprenuero, muy fácil, es muy difícil tomar las notas. Porque no hay una, no hay dos, puede tener un tiempo. Cada vez que te pierdas, cada vez que te pierdas, es la forma en la que tienes que subir. Y no se siente que la persona o el investidor se siente que la verdad es que no es algo que se siente. Y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, Creo que esto es una buena acción a la analiza de no solo la motivación de los entrepreneurs, los objetivos para que puedan ser establecidos, sino también la función de la actividad que tiene. No es solo el dinero, hay muchas más cosas involucradas en las actividades de desarrollo y innovación, y esto es muy importante porque hoy, con las noticias de la responsabilidad social y el sistema de desarrollo, las oportunidades de acción y la participación, todo esto se unirá y dar un sentido a la actividad que implica esta diversidad en las actividades de desarrollo. No es solo el dinero. Quiero ver la opinión de Clote. Lisa, ella es de Ronda, ha sido la miembro de Collap. Él nos contó con Collap y mi pregunta va en el sentido de a ver cuánto su gobierno ha sido involucrado, a lo que degree se siente que ha recibido apoyo y cómo estas actividades se han visto en Ronda. Gracias. So, es Caleb, Caleb stands for Knowledge Lab, which is Take Innovation Hub. And of course, the government has been helping a lot since Caleb started. As some of you know, a president, President Kagame, chair of the Brand Back Commission, along with Carlos Slim. So, he understands ICT and recently a friend of mine from India told me whenever you want to run as an investor and you bring ICT, the doors are open for you. So, it's a very strong will, political way behind, used in ICTs. This may be some of you know, Ronda is a land lord country with a lot of bad past before 1994. We don't have any natural resources, we have our people. And if you look at the categories of people, many people in the informal sector, they run small businesses. So, the only way for them to grow their businesses is to use tools that allow them to grow their businesses. And it has been a reality that ICT is a tool that allows, you know, for the government. The government is really supportive. Caleb himself is a kind of giant project between private owners and the government. But also, the gentleman Francisco said education is key. It's a foundation of everything. The government is supporting and promoting education. Por ejemplo, recently, I've been carrying a mail on the University to open a branch of a fast one in Rwanda. And they deliver master degrees in ICT and focus in mailing and programming. There's also another aspect that the government enforces which is low on the regulations system myself. I'm meeting around Caleb where I meet young entrepreneurs every day. There is no strong for marketplace that promote companies, trust me. They're going to be like hitting the wall. So, the government is really helping. Fast, we get a lot of consultants from the other side currently. They're working on the low. They're asking all external consultant funds when they come to Rwanda to team up with local people for skill transfer because they used to pay them. And when they go back to the country and there's a problem, no one is able to follow but also even local people can and they're ready to sign it. There's also, in terms of access to capital, skills is one thing. And tech industry and also capital is really needed. And we find that in my country they were putting a lot of effort in having financial institutions giving them small loans because most of them they can't even afford buying a host application. And another element that I would like to talk about is infrastructure. Infrastructure really requires a lot of investment in my country, the government. It's put a lot of money in broadband and all those kind of stuff. And they're now giving us an opportunity to young people to generate content. And recently we just, the government just signed KT closely with the Forteel across the country and recently the Montserrat ICT and have instructors. The next thing is content and one or two guys developed dual applications because in Rwanda all people always call us a BVC or before on computers. They call the young people dot coms. So you guys are dot coms infrastructure. All the country is up to you to generate content and actually make a living out of it. And maybe also talk about the impact that we have seen innovation is really an interesting area and what you need is the brain you need to work hard and you need mentorship maybe we have seen many people creating jobs we have seen people working on something for two months failing, bringing it again failing, bringing it again and then after two months you receive a call you know from applications that come from nowhere that's the beauty of entrepreneurship the people they need to work hard they need to reinvent the wheel and no so every problem we have seen many calls from people going giving them challenges so I need this kind of system what is interesting is that it doesn't work like any other system you have to see your previous background they have eight pages CVS it's about you can do to solve a problem we really been working with the government it's going quite well and on the continental level we see that there is and when I started coming up they are close to a hundred there is what interesting says that in Sudan you can work with take ups all over in Africa it's becoming very interesting and they are becoming both place of many innovation in when they have two they are allowing young people to create jobs they create jobs they create solutions and other key elements are these are homegrown solutions for example a guy from India comes in random and develops an application he is in a random develops the same application because they understand that easier than any other person this is like really giving a chance to everyone there are other types of social pressure for example there is a gentleman he came to me and he was like my parents understand how it's been 7 months and I keep asking for transport I look at him in the eyes but what is your passion he told me I want to create an application and sell it and become famous and he he went telling him to work I do want responsible for his time and he told me I told him you go back talk to your dad and tell him to give you a few months and you brief that you can do something sell it and change life of people and this gentleman came back to continue to work and after 2 months his application was bought by someone and you know my dad I told him what happened it's possible so in some cases initially developing countries there is no room for innovations parents or some social pressure want to use the same channels that they use do you finish school you go get a job you take care of your siblings and when you order a sibling finish school it takes over so they need these types of space people to work together to activate each one another and sometimes especially to see what tools are helpful especially for young channels thank you for a very interesting presentation especially putting the accent in the motivation that we spoke before this friend of yours he wanted to be famous telling that his case was considered here in the global summit so tell him he's already famous thank you for the continuation of your activities let's see from the perspective of the youth leaders that are approaching or being part of government or linked with governments in developing ICTs Senad Raman is special advisor for global youth issues the youth department of state you are the secretary in this position you are the first to understand the second to be in this position so telling what has been the genesis of the youth state department to really put an interest and develop these activities with you thank you Ambassador so the question is why is the youth government care about youth issues in all to appoint a new special advisor I think the response is very simple the biggest challenges that we face in the world cannot be solved without the participation of young people so this is something that we think it's good to do it's a good opportunity but we realize that one are days where diplomats just speak to other diplomats this is a new world and in a way are helping us navigate with this new world just by example looking at this panel a panel like this wouldn't even existed 5 years ago a position like mine would not have existed 5 years ago but I think as we look forward the idea of youth issues is a bit of a false construct because I think when I hear you talk about health issues how we accelerate positive change to create a more just an equitable world young people will make the majority of the population and many countries already do and then if you look at those what are those things that will accelerate positive change ICT and youth and at the core of that and as we look at youth at the forefront of all societal transformation the youth government wants to look at the support of how we support and accelerate that change so in the ICT space access to networks is what has been talked about this morning that we support so access to networks through regulatory forms stronger policies and internet freedom all of these things are critical components to be able to unleash the talent that exists young people we are currently living amongst if you see local millennials the biggest youth generation that has ever existed so young people imagine that amount of human capital that you represent the US government sees that I really believe solutions to the province that we face will come from here but it is imperative for you to foster mechanisms like this by giving us recommendations and solutions that we take to the platforms and conversations that we have and so when you talk about scale I think we are all wanting to do things and many individually are trying to figure out how to do that as young people and the environments we live in so more girls are looking at social issues and say how do we do this, how we talk about employment, use of employment around the world, access to nutrition environmental issues and so these issues seem very big but they won't be solved without using a multi stakeholder approach and that has to include policymakers, private sector innovators, young people and sales so I think as we move forward more and more we will look at global challenges with a multi-stake global approach and the United States wants to be part of that conversation thank you how is important for those who are involved in policymaking to go to the roots and to listen and take the impressions the opinions of those who are close to the basis of politics and economic activity I would like to ask Gucel Sara Farova who is the chair of the organization a surveillance youth to Europe Agat would you explain a little bit what do you do and how do you think that in your part of the world what you are doing and what you are promoting is really they taking the political process in your country and in the movement of ideas Gucel you have the floor thank you very much first I would like to greet you and all the participants the forum is a great pleasure to be here please accept the greetings for Azerbaijan I am the chair of organization integration of Azerbaijan youth to Europe our mission is to the youth more active in the Euro-Atlantic integration we are doing a lot of international events these forums, events, seminars and try to be really close to ICTs because now as you mentioned another expert mentioned that ICTs included are part of our data life so what we see we see now that are present the whole world sees dynamic protest this is the process transition to the information society so in this point of view we consider this process very important the flag man is the youth youth the youth ICT youth youth in social network programs etc even social cultural and political life we see link with ICTs in my country this year presidential elections after a couple of weeks we will elect our president so we see and young activists not only chair we have other social situations activities in my country in this process the people who support their candidates they are using ICT as a main tool of announcement even those candidates they they use social networks as a main tool to perform their so even in my country social, facebook, twitter is more useful in the society more than 1 million youngsters in Azerbaijan are using facebook so helpful is this on twitter if something happens political protest everybody knows from facebook or twitter so this has been a great contribution both candidates do a lot promises about ICT and people go behind those people who really see the realities in fact as you know in Azerbaijan the their sector second sector more profitable during the last 5-6 years there are 3 main state programs the establishment ICT institute that was linked with the youth the second one is to install high tech parks that would be linked especially youth and this will be built a bridge between scientific and production fields in ICT sector wealth and something that is linked with youth ICT foundation as you see state programs are directed to the youth of course other people can use as you mentioned is more popular by youth when people they tend a political life of the country now people use as a tool this kind of things what government does in the ICT sector especially in my country so when we talk about democracy openness transparency of society we are looking to the ICT what is the level what is the freedom in internet let's say so in my country internet access is free and all of these programs are state programs how the people people who use social networks will also vote support these institutions that do execute their job thank you thank you very much yourself for what you have said and I think you have touched a very crucial an area of ICT which is participation capacity to act and to be heard as I mentioned that one of our goals was to promote openness transparency accountability and effectiveness you have mentioned these concepts now you have interviewed this is very important because these shows that the market needs to be taken into commission and the market for the politician is new now it is not just a traditional way to pass the message ask for support and get the votes now the tools of communication and exchange of users so powerful that now politicians enter into the game and being part of the new market if they do not participate then they will not command and they are dead meat so this is very important and countries like yours are in the process of opening establishing identities you are 20 years young as a country so it is very important and I hope that this elections could show how this democratic exercise could be taken in a very good way thank you very much please something to add all this program was about contemporary let's see not contemporary present so I think there is a new let's say program for the survey in 2022 for the future and the main points that it's about ICT so now it's 2022 2020 I'm sorry thank you very much let's now see things from the angle of educators those who are in this part I have we have it as Derek who was executive vice president of data win and you have been executive vice president what do you think are the steps that should be taken before to improve education and how do you promote and bring young people to be more involved in the use of ICTs well I think with regards to ICTs and education there is a obviously a worldwide phenomenon that is going on ICT and education is getting a lot of endorsement is getting a lot of recognition globally you have guns that have started implementing tablets or ICT and education for example the union government which give a tablet to hundreds of thousands of university students the government of Turkey tablets from kindergarten to from grade 5 to 12 Thailand is going K to 12 top of the house so we are seeing the implementation throughout the world globally countries are getting behind it education ministers are realizing that this is a relevant tool to be able to have in the hands of students everywhere and we have heard this all morning all the speakers were talking about the ability to reach people through ICT to envy her the right students to have that I believe it is very strong factor globally that everyone is going to be offering tablets or computers to students the students from India talking about how soon it has their own tablets so I think that getting ICT to improve education is going to be the first major factor in implementing that I think the second major factor that is the drop in price affordability leads to broad deployments you have the impact of open source sovereign systems this android allow the cost to drop significantly in regards to what can be included on a tablet I think innovative marketing proposals and unique business models like that one has bring tablets into the market through almost commodity pricing you know set $30 pricing for PCs with unique business models through advertising etc really makes it a compelling offer so that drop in hardware causes a second major factor I think the third major factor leads to the success in ICT in education they'll be good as the cellular networks so obviously international telecom units are major fuckers to have even in the remote regions we're talking about limited band connections through low energy networks the ability to have internet everywhere through the cellular network it's really the key just going to drive education everywhere the fact that you have education at the axis at your fingertips through I mean you too belong this is the largest in the world millions and millions of videos of education and content which is now accessible to the world most media so having that access to education content in the remote regions through this through the cellular networks under compression whatever it is getting that low cause hardware getting that low cause and having that recognition by those governments are the tricky aspects which allows to have education through ICT globally thank you very much for this very interesting analysis about the way education can be conducted on a basis to have tips that are conducive to the interest of the new developments let's move now to very specific area of agriculture and sustainability agriculture is one of the areas in which you see how science and technology have gone through very very important developments if you look how the science and technology applications in 2000 in 1950 and what they are today in 50 years will have had much more innovation and advanced technology that in the previous 1,950 years which is something amazing and this is a crucial area in sustainability development because it's related to the good use of the limited land that we have of the limited water resources and also how the food security and how the sustainability of production how nutritional production of food is going to be performed and how to deal with many aspects that need investment, science and improvement in the technologies of agricultural sectors as an original focal point for communications and public affairs of the World Meteorological Organization which is very important and influential point of reference when we talk about agriculture because for sure is that you never know what the weather is going to be at least in a very limited period of time and how important it is going to influence your life so how do you see this role and to what degree you think that we can motivate the youth to really be aware of this sector first of all good morning I would like to welcome who visited this country especially those who come here for the first time and since the meteorology is a field very linked to activities not only to agriculture too but also to all socioeconomic activities of a nation allow myself to ask my colleagues of the meteorological service in Costa Rica to give me the forecast for this week since you're going to be here so I would like to let you know the mornings could be cloudy personal or totally with some rain during the afternoons I think that's important because you said Mr. Ambassador how can we link agriculture out say not only how can we link agriculture but also link all those activities that we developed in the field of meteorology specifically the weather and water and this is a very important topic bridge it out in our latitudes 90% of national disasters that we suffer come from events from meteorological events that means the damage the personal and material levels that we have and all this in this nation is very high from because of the excess of scarcity of water of rain for the general race of OMM it's no doubt about the meteorology it's a field that should be hand in hand with the development of youth and children because just through them they will acquire major conscience about how to plan the development of their lives of the future and their nations starting also from economic activities and also the OMM has placed interest in the development of initiatives of cooperation of drainage and the borders to be able to eliminate somehow the cultural barriers and knowledge barriers that prevail despite of the great development that we have the technology has had and allows that case especially we have the case of a project that the OMM has developed in this country that consists of an system of early alert in rural communities and is some area of stereotypicalism of the R-Ecurivian where technology can service to people where they can measure the amount of rain that happened up in the mountains in the higher mountains and we can deduct possible flooding or to provoke landslides in the lower parts and the project consists and they receive the meteorological information from the first hand about weather conditions during the week the first seven days and also day by day and they have planned activities of all kind including the agriculture activities and in case there is some warning about severe conditions the same communities are already organized especially with groups of youth people in schools where they participate and measure to the most secure areas this goes parallel to the policy of the government in Costa Rica that is supported by the OMM and the meteorological service in Costa Rica where the meteorology climate change is linked to the education curriculum this is from first grade the whole elementary and high school the topic has been studied as part of their studies because the WMO with the meteorological services they consider this priority also if it is true they need to use new technologies it is more important the development of human capital just like my partner and Costa Rica Tech minister of science of technology that we have to develop human capital we have to allow young people acquire the knowledge because we have a great future they have the technology but they don't have the knowledge of how to use that information and I think that it is true education from elementary school the whole elementary because from the university if they have a chance at least elementary and high school these new generations of young people who in the future are going to have the leadership of our countries that they are going to be able to develop and to achieve the goals that they have but also be able to act and benefit of our own nations I also would like to finish with a reminder from of Costa Rica a nation doesn't put all the efforts of interest and develop on science technology they will be coordinated to others and they will never be their own master of their own future so parallel with the development of human capital thank you very much thank you very much for your contribution you gave us a forecast you brought me to my years in London when all the forecast started scattered showers and sunny spells and that covers everything thank you very much I would like to come back to your preview a lot of education I was practicing the name the pronunciation of the name of our next contributor who is Head to Abelias she is a young teacher from Indonesia and she is an Indonesian man in her program any delegation so I would like to have your contribution as a young teacher how do you are taking advantage in your profession about this innovation how do you convey to your students and you think that's an area in which you get the good excitement from students you are dealing with ok thank you you are spelling my name my name is Heti I come from Indonesia I would like to tell you about my experience in the remote area in Indonesia we come from working in the mega jar program gives me a lot of experience this mega jar program send me to the Borea island in Indonesia there is there is limited waters sanitation and electricity actually I am the only one young woman who teaches there in the school actually I believe that ICT education is a good point but I get difficult because they think ICT is expensive there is no electricity so ICT is so far away is just a dream or something like that and then I want to state that for ICT in an open area ICT is easy to get they can get access everywhere but in what we call remote areas it's very difficult I don't know why but remote areas they feel happy without electricity with signal with mobile phones they feel happy but we should helping them according to we want everyone to feel and enjoy the benefit of ICT we should minimize the gap between rural and urban areas so everyone can feel the power that ICT can give that is all thank you very much what you are doing there is really a work of creating awareness and promoting and making that there are new tools that they are maybe not available now but that you your friends government and the private sector are working and you have to be prepared for that I'm going to invite now Juan Manuel Diaz he is a representative of China Youth Finance International I want him to tell us about this and the experiences he's receiving in his studies at Earth University Costa Rica I understand there is going to be a trip to this university and how the recultural sector is influencing and is making it is taking into account in your activities thank you I'll see typically rural areas are the most affected areas and all levels where most families depend on agriculture they don't have the the education or the resources to succeed and they keep doing farming and ICTs could help to form networks with small producers in other areas in order to organize and manage everything they produce so they could have better profits without middle people so earning the money they really produce and they can have better educations for young producers from portals or online magazines to optimize their production and other sources of income non necessarily in every culture they can also try to open the opportunities they have to other sectors of the market the government couldn't have constant communication with the communities using these resources to organize and follow up projects that maybe could be more difficult without these tools or to to listen to the biggest necessities these communities might have also the health issues not far behind preventing campaigns can be implemented in a more interactive way with the communities like probably it could be more successful like using campaigns like newspaper or something that not all people in the community getting contact with what I have been thinking about with the what the meteorological thing that was discussed before could help the small producers to prepare for hard times nowadays the weather is very different from 30 years before so I see this could help them to prepare the crops like the harvest time fertilizing time so they could have better production in their crops these are some of the ways I think that ICTs could help in their rural areas and this is what I learned in my university but there are many other ways that ICTs could be applied in rural areas thank you for informing as how you are developing your activities in your university and the main issues that you are tackling I have been requested to add two more speakers and I will go directly we have 15 minutes before lunchtime and I will directly to give the floor to some of you in the audience if you have questions or a comment first of all I am going to give the floor if I should be ICT Qatar you are working in the area of marketing and technology could you give us your contribution please this morning the word must create opportunities for youth so my perspective is one of the important points to create opportunities for youth is to to care and support their core relation but then use big companies since they don't require the same amount of experience that requires in the big companies how do you submit the first target how do you submit any and ICTs help to reach most people the most people they can therefore it supports and we hope that other support so thank you thank you very much and I give the floor to Harry Mohan from Crown Ventures what is to work as a business and computer and what opportunities to have young entrepreneurs to start their own business thinking best where you from I was born in Colombia but I live in Costa Rica for almost 20 years good mix first part of people, entrepreneurs telling their ideas they need to start making the voices heard for me to have entrepreneurs well, creators and thieves well, the creators are the ones to figure out and want to create first they want to solve a problem they want to solve a social problem they want to give a solution to the world and then they start worrying about how to make money and the thieves start the ones to create to make money first I was an entrepreneur the first step to achieve a dream as Mr. explained is selling the ideas I don't know why people are scared about the products and ideas and think that they worry about what people are going to think about them and they fail or something but support is needed a relation is needed so the first step for entrepreneurs is to talk about their ideas and figure out which are the people important to them and to the project and go to them now the people have access to entities in a way that it was impossible to imagine 10 years ago or 15 years ago and you can have access to people from another world like diversity diversity is needed right now innovative communities largely immigration and transfer and specific qualified labor contribute to the development of companies so the youth ICTs you can have with an iPhone you can have direct communication if you are in Costa Rica you can have direct communication with someone in China or Russia so I will take that as the first part the second part is do your task there are a lot of great efforts happening in Costa Rica for example it was loans allocated by the government to the project for the innovative component also different initiatives with the same purpose such as speed-dating activities aimed at finding a co-founder or many groups so go to those areas look for talk to people do networking look for the people who is going to be important to you and start your desk and I will say that for achieving a dream it is up to you if you want to achieve a dream now you have access to a lot of things that you were supposed to imagine 10 years ago now take advantage of that and tell your idea no matter how crazy it sounds just go forward and give a very much a good way to finish your intervention now go forward to Adriana Chavarria who is a communication coordinator of the Central American Association for aeronetics and space once I know we are sure of time I will try to make it quick and that kind is the name of the Spanish we were one of the most sophisticated levels of technology and science and we usually feel only for developed countries we have NASA in the United States we have Texas in Japan for example we have European space but most of the underdeveloped countries are not getting involved in this field as far as LA and Costa Rica has proved to the world that we have been prepared enough to get into the field of technology and this is not the exception so there are a lot of people who truly believe that we also have the potential to start developing any sector of the economy in some way and we are collaborating to create a new model of development for not only the country but also the region in Central America and this is actually what only 100 crews were saying we are trying to get involved into the economy of innovation we are dealing with a couple problems within the organization not exactly from the inside but the projects have been very successful but from the outside this is a completely new field we are dealing with change of paradigm and this is very difficult to us while we are investing into youth of the country because we are changing the paradigm we cannot do it just in two years we need 20, we need 30 years we need 50 years maybe a lot of times of the young people now we are going to be able to change into this model of innovation economy in the future right and be on the allocation of resources that is needed for a field like this there is also a big challenge that we have to face that is that we need to educate people not only the people who are already a civil society to really support innovations, projects and we need to help them to understand the science and technology most related to the normal and daily life than what they actually think for example in the Akai we are developing the first Central American satellite and it is not only to prove the world that we have the capacity to get involved into this field but also work for monitoring the different levels of carbon dioxide and the specific strategic areas of the country so we can actually call operation with a ministry of environment and this is something that we are going to be a benefit for more than just our association or the people who are working in the project right so what the association is asking for is to have a strong connection between what we call the tripod helix which is a government academia and the private sector to support all this kind of projects to collaborate and we will have benefits for our population thank you very much we have a huge problem to develop and I hope you have all the support of different governments we'll take some questions now if you want to direct the questions this is great we can't put lunch forward to another day and then if you want to direct your questions to a specific panelist please say how you go to the far end your neighbor you got the floor next and you and you maybe in a second they have to be short questions not declarations a good question it's a short one good morning morning from Spain it's being commented that ICTs can be a good opportunity to develop jobs to expedite tasks it's easy to agree that the more individuals it gets to better the thing is how to how to match the needs of the company with the uses of ITC have can have this question is for the table what type ideas could we think to so there are applications that require services that provide large solutions to users because it's not about just big solutions because otherwise going to be a simpler solution ok that's enough from Costa Rica I would like to highlight something important that is not formal education but I think currently many workshop seminars this education is in the non formal environment so I would like to ask something that is what is the role of girls and young women because they face lots of barriers gender poverty and technological barriers so how could we develop actions that overcome these barriers my name is Shakira Z from Afghanistan finally after 1996 our trips I'm here now I have a question I came late I don't know your names I'm sorry it was good that you mentioned you implemented the project or something how can we implement these types of projects in other countries like my country Afghanistan two more questions and then I give the floor to the panelists good morning I'm Cecilia Salazar from Guatemala my question is how can we as the youth help adults in that we have implemented a system for the national coordination for disaster reduction as graduation project but we have found a barrier because those who will use the system are older and they have they want to change in regards to use of ICTs we have to be educated you don't have to educate the old people my name is brothers from Iraq ICT without wisdom is pretty dangerous and another thing thank you for education system academy there are a lot of Cisco academies we are in the north and Cisco academy from Baghdad thank you for I'm being a student in Cisco academy what is your idea for innovation and Cisco innovation and Cisco and wisdom last question hi my name is Luis I'm from Nicaragua regarding the comments on happiness without electricity what is your opinion and what can ICTs do to implement relations and not only technological development to start answering the questions you can take a couple I think the first thing the literature about women and technology there is search engine in the world about less about doing something and getting up and doing this ICT conference by United Nations the questions have changed in 18 years but with power I think the second thing about technology axis of $50 machine again it's the same thing it's not a matter of how it's a matter of who's going to do it and who's motivated to do it just get on with it I was here at the one point of women and girls inclusion platform and role models important so the more we can be inclusive look at gender priority we look at decisions in mornings there are largely male dominated ICTs so we make an extra effort to find the examples that may be not as big but at a level in which women who are working changing this field I have a group of American probably mostly women we did a session today at 6 o clock many are delegates so women come to this and we can talk about this more so it is an absolutely stupid result to disenfranchise women I mean already the handicapped from the workforce it is totally tokenically stupid and so the goal the new millennium goals beyond 2015 need to encompass women and the handicapped and other minorities as part of the workforce one of the only ways that's a cultural problem is start to the problem it need an individual person it's a cultural problem one of the easiest way is via technology via technology where we teach people who cannot hear to become computer technicians so as a cooperation as a private sector it's absolutely in our best interest that the entire global population participates in what has to be the end result it has to be that way this was the general from Iraq so what we have invested heavily in trying to create that was initially shellfish that is we need computer experts we needed the world cannot build these fancy networks unless there are people in Iraq in Afghanistan Kenya Nigeria we need computer networks we take them from granted we have to have clean water or else people die we have to have electricity sorry about the common being happy with our electricity no no no you have to be happy with electricity and you need cleaner and you need computer access if you have all those things life gets better much because the secretary general is pressing me I just have two comments the first one is about girls I think our community without them the communities are nothing we have in which women gather and enjoy girl women and give them technology faculties some of them are finishing and starting their own companies these are community led initiatives I wanted to comment on the lady to say the system that develop system that people can buy seeing that where people just sit and develop solutions they don't do market research they don't understand business processes and once they finish and you put in the table even it's really important people will tend to post to change to advise you need to include your potential clients in the design processes of anything and others sometimes you give them for free you tell them to test it and maybe the change might be slow and keep you asking to add more functionalities thank you I just wanted to address quickly and how I ensure ICT as a tool for the environment and do it very quickly one is I think at the end of this conference there should be there should pass a revelation that endorses government efforts to promote ICT like every time government giving tablets to the students the second is we emphasize and recognize internet access as a basic human right it has to be and we have to endorse that globally and I think that leave this should go back and lobby the governments let them know that we need internet access for everyone we need ICT education for everyone thank you very much I'm not going to enter into summary of everything that has been said I think we have a recollection one thing that is key that I have heard from many participants is to ensure participation regardless of whatever type of limitation or discrimination universality of ICT is the basic thing Secretary General you have the floor the last word before we go to lunch time for lunch I would like to just comment on a big issue that is that has been burning inside me all the time is the gender issue the girls in ICT the women it's unfortunate that with the human comfort 51 gets to 51 of the human population I have three goals I have three girls I have three daughters and a boy I know how bright the girls are and how they are dedicated and how the serious they are about succeeding in life we tend to compare women as he said as handicapped and people with disabilities as if being a woman is a disability as standard we all have been brought as fair lessons that have been taught by our mothers and we simply can get it that's why we do a number initiatives in ICT gender equality programs we promoting I wish a whole year it's just some days and put it on the table in forums like this I would promote country like Rwanda Rwanda is the best example in the world there is full priority 50% of women and men in the government 50% of the parliament and 50% of the ambassadors are women it's clear it's being implemented in this country one of the best countries in Africa today in just 10 years after a terrible genocide to see how far they come and how they are succeeding Tigali is the cleanest three cleanest cities in the city they have visited I've been in more than 160 countries in the world but it's one of the three cleanest cities that I've seen in my life ICT a lot of things are happening I believe that we need to take action on this issue and education is key to it women and girls for them to succeed in ICT and one last comment we tend to see ICT as an enabler but it's an industry in itself it creates jobs ICT we should use to create jobs that's some of the things that we promote here therefore I think we have a powerful so on our hands I was delighted to hear from you here my goal is to come and listen for you and thank you for sharing your ideas with us thank you thank you to the minister thank you for your interest your support and the work you're doing here in Costa Rica so if you want to say a final word please all the people has made this summit so now my staff the whole team of ITU from the ministry from telecom from the government thank you thank you very much minister thank you very much to all the panelists that have illustrated with your knowledge if you get a bias now all the people here press and know what you need to there and go ahead lunch is about to be started by the pull at 12.30 right now on the next session we will start at 14 thank you very much
