All of our panels will be translated to both Spanish and Portuguese, with the purpose of democratizing the dialogues we are promoting. Additionally, we will have workshop opportunities for groups of students to get to know a panelist in more detail and ask them questions about their possible career paths.

Todos nuestros paneles serán traducidos al español y al portugués, con el fin de democratizar los diálogos que estamos promoviendo. Además, tendremos oportunidades de talleres para que grupos de estudiantes conozcan a un panelista con más detalle, y le hagan preguntas sobre sus posibles trayectorias profesionales.
