Telefonica Foundation has brought together international experts from different academic and institutional level on a meeting, to share, reflect and discuss the theme "Information technologies and communications technology (ICT) as providers of employment opportunities for young people".

The aim of the day was to generate a detailed analysis of the different causes of youth joblessness and how ICT can contribute by providing possible solution for combating unemployment among young people at a time of uncertainty over the global economic crisis.

During the session, the expert from the European Commission has made a presentation on the possible role that ICT can play in the context of youth employment. Pathways have also been discussed papers created by two of the experts: "The transition to adulthood in a crisis context: young people in difficulty, employment and technology" developed by Michael Melendro and "Youth Employability and Development Objectives Goals (LAC)" from Leopold Tornarolli.

The analysis of these papers has led to an interesting debate, from which the experts, with the help of the moderator, have developed a first document of Conclusions and Recommendations.

Telefonica Foundation is aware of the difficulties of young people in the context of global crisis. For this reason, has driven this multidisciplinary meeting in order that the experts give their opinion on the situation of certain groups of young people, their difficulties in accessing to the labor market and any recommendations for intervention from the point of view of these organisms . Information and Communications Technologies have focused the discussion of the meeting as key elements to create scenarios of opportunities for young people both in Europe and Latin America and especially for those who are most at risk of social exclusion.
