Our Four Challenges

Enhancing Employability

Campus 42

Campus 42 is a free educational project focused on preparing people for the work demanded by the job market. Its learning method, completely groundbreaking compared to the traditional educational model, is based on peer-to-peer learning, without teachers or classes. At Campus 42, learning is free. The only requirement for access is being of legal age. No prior knowledge in computer science or programming is needed

Reducing the Educational Gap

ProFuturo

ProFuturo is a technology-based educational innovation program launched by Fundación Telefónica and Fundación “la Caixa” whose mission is to reduce the educational and digital gap for children in vulnerable environments in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Its intervention is based on evidence of progress and impact provided by continuous monitoring processes, studies, and evaluations to achieve a greater social footprint.

Promoting Art, Culture and Ideas

Espacio Fundación Telefónica

Espacio Fundación Telefónica opened its doors in Madrid in 2012, in the Telefónica Building on Gran Vía street, to promote the convergence of technology, arts and humanities with the goal of fostering critical thinking and reflection about the great transformations of the present. Through exhibitions, educational activities, conferences and talks, we create learning spaces for all types of audiences.

Digital Rights

In the digital age, our fundamental rights are not only exercised in the physical world, but also in the virtual environments where we now live, work and relate to each other. Digital rights encompass everything from the protection of privacy and personal data to freedom of expression on networks and equitable access to information.

We anticipate trends, pave new paths, embrace challenges

“My family used to tell me: ‘Computer science? […] You have to be a man because it’s very complicated and they don’t hire women.’ Over time I have gained more confidence in myself and I see myself as very capable of becoming a programmer.”

Noelia Rodríguez, Campus 42

“I signed up for this workshop because there are things I need to learn to handle well on my phone and I didn’t want to bother my younger family members too much with it.”

Florentina, RECONECTADOS

“That Telefónica Foundation does this type of educational activities helps us in our daily lives.”

Teresa Camino, profesora
