In recognition of National Hispanic Heritage Month, the Intercultural Diversity Center kicks off the TEDTalk Tuesday Series in featuring Johanna Figueira. Venezuelan activist Johanna Figueira discusses her work with Code for Venezuela, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing technologists and innovators together to address her country’s pressing needs for information, medicine and supplies. Their mission-driven platform brings simple but effective tech into Venezuelan communities to provide connections and information during times of crisis. Figueira shows how organizations like Code for Venezuela bring effective solutions, hold governments accountable, and bring hope to communities. This event will take place on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 from 12-1pm in the Intercultural Diversity Center (2100 Student Center).
