Amada Herrera, director of TransversalRD, "holding this panel as the launch of TransversalRD is not a coincidence, but a clear demonstration of the commitment to be a medium where diverse ideas converge to reflect together on the type of democracy we need to build in a country where technology advances faster than laws and where, without a doubt, young people are called to be protagonists of the communication of the future."
