digital transformation of education in Latin America. The company, which

Malala will bring to the lecture all the experience she gained as one of the

primary activists for the education of women in the world and great

spokesperson for the defense of human rights, to discuss with the students the

importance of education for professional and personal development.

"Education is something that allows a woman to be in a place where she can have

access to so many opportunities which otherwise she would not get. When you are

educated, you´re in a much better position to know about your rights, to know

about the fact you can own for yourself, you can decide to marry later, along

with that allows you to have opportunity to be financially independent," the

activist says.

For Alex Augusto, CEO of UOL EdTech, the lecture is an opportunity for

learning. "We are excited to offer this exchange of knowledge from one of the

most important young people today through an innovative and distinctive

platform. We believe that technology can bring people together and accelerate

learning. Our goal as an edtech is to lead innovation in education and promote

a transformative learning experience, both in Brazil and Latin America, as well

as in the rest of the world."

UOL EdTech develops entirely Brazilian technology and supports students at all

stages of learning, from the youngest student in elementary and high school to

the professional who seeks to continue their education in an online

specialization or even in courses offered in the work environment.
