    DIGITAL BRIDGES Latam Hub - Episode 1

    In this episode of Digital Bridges, we speak with Valentina Soto, socio-environmental activist, social innovator, and founder of Regeneración in Chile, about youth leadership, environmental action, and the importance of creating spaces where young people can be heard. Drawing from her personal journey growing up in southern Chile, Valentina shares how her experiences shaped her commitment to community engagement and social change. She reflects on the barriers young people, particularly women and those from remote communities, face when seeking opportunities to lead and participate in decision-making. We also explore how Regeneración is empowering young people and women through community initiatives, why understanding local realities is essential to creating meaningful change, and the importance of caring for ourselves while working to make a difference. Valentina leaves us with an important reminder: believe in yourself, pursue opportunities even when you doubt your abilities, and never be afraid to raise your voice.
