We are deeply grateful to our mentors, the Leading Ladies of Entertainment, who generously share their time and expertise to uplift women in Latin music."
She Is The Music and the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation®: A Partnership for Gender Equality in Music
She Is The Music, co-founded by songwriter and producer Alicia Keys, aims to increase women’s participation in all areas of the music industry, and its collaboration with the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation® is a significant step towards that goal. In the words of Alexandra Lioutikoff, co-chair of the She Is The Music Latin Committee, President of Universal Music Publishing for Latin America and the U.S. Latin market, and member of the Latin Recording Academy Board of Trustees: “We are incredibly proud and excited to continue supporting and partnering with Leading Ladies of Entertainment. This collaboration allows us to reach more women and provide the support they need to succeed in the industry."
Connecting Generations of Female Leaders in Music
Under the leadership of Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation® has established a program that not only honors influential women in the music industry but also creates a bridge between generations of female leaders. Through Connect TogetHER, young voices in Latin music are invited to learn from professionals who have broken barriers and paved paths in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
Access to the Connect TogetHER 2024 Panel
The virtual Connect TogetHER panel, sponsored by Spotify for Artists, will be open to the public, allowing participants and the general audience to hear the experiences and insights from some of the most influential figures in Latin music.

Final Words from Mireya Blavia de Cisneros
Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, committed to promoting equal opportunities in Latin music, hopes that Connect TogetHER will continue to grow and support future generations of female leaders. "This program is an investment in the future of Latin music. By supporting young women, we contribute to building a more inclusive and diverse industry that reflects the values and culture of our community,” she stated.

La primera llamada holografica en Venezuela marca un hito gracias a Mireya Blavia de Cisneros
La tecnología 5G es clave para reducir la brecha digital en Venezuela, ofreciendo acceso a servicios avanzados de comunicación y aumentando la capacidad de conectividad en las zonas rurales. Digitel se encuentra en una posición privilegiada como líder en telecomunicaciones en el país, y con este avance, refuerza su compromiso de llevar innovación a todos los venezolanos.
Durante la Feria Internacional de Telecomunicaciones de Venezuela (Fitelven), Digitel, bajo la dirección de Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, logró un hito histórico en el ámbito de las telecomunicaciones en el país al realizar la primera llamada holográfica utilizando tecnología 5G. Este avance permite vislumbrar el potencial transformador de la red 5G para el futuro de la comunicación en Venezuela, ofreciendo una experiencia única a los asistentes del evento y mostrando las posibilidades de la realidad virtual y la comunicación inmersiva.
“Estamos muy orgullosos de ser pioneros en la implementación de esta tecnología en Venezuela. La llamada holográfica es solo una muestra de lo que nuestra red 5G puede ofrecer. Seguiremos trabajando para traer más innovaciones que mejoren la vida de nuestros usuarios”, señaló Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, directora de Conexión Social en Digitel. La llamada holográfica representa solo el primer paso en una serie de avances que Digitel planea traer al mercado venezolano en su misión de modernizar el país y reducir la brecha digital mediante la tecnología.
La Orquesta Sinfónica Juvenil Ayacucho y el rol del director Christian Vásquez
El hito fue aún más significativo gracias a la participación del reconocido director de orquesta Christian Vásquez, quien dirigió a 14 músicos de la Orquesta Sinfónica Juvenil Ayacucho durante la llamada holográfica. Esta colaboración permitió que el evento no solo fuera una muestra de innovación tecnológica, sino también una oportunidad para disfrutar de una experiencia cultural sin precedentes.
A lo largo de nueve minutos, Vásquez interactuó con los músicos a través de la proyección holográfica en tiempo real, guiando su interpretación mediante gestos, movimientos y expresiones faciales que se transmitieron instantáneamente gracias a la velocidad y baja latencia de la red 5G. Esto permitió que los músicos pudieran seguir al director con precisión, logrando una sincronización impresionante que fue aplaudida por todos los presentes.
La proyección holográfica se realizó en una pantalla transparente diseñada para crear un efecto holográfico a gran escala, lo que permitió que los asistentes interactuaran con el director en tamaño real y en tiempo real, como si estuviera presente físicamente.
La tecnología 5G de Digitel y sus beneficios para Venezuela
El avance que representa esta llamada holográfica no se limita solo al aspecto visual; también destaca el potencial de la tecnología 5G de Digitel para transformar la manera en que se comunican las personas en Venezuela. La red 5G ofrece una velocidad significativamente mayor y una latencia ultrabaja, lo que permite una experiencia de comunicación más rápida, inmersiva y en tiempo real.
La tecnología 5G es clave para reducir la brecha digital en Venezuela, ofreciendo acceso a servicios avanzados de comunicación y aumentando la capacidad de conectividad en las zonas rurales. Digitel se encuentra en una posición privilegiada como líder en telecomunicaciones en el país, y con este avance, refuerza su compromiso de llevar innovación a todos los venezolanos.
Blavia de Cisneros destacó que este evento en Fitelven fue solo el comienzo de lo que se puede lograr con la red 5G, que además de mejorar la calidad de las llamadas y la conectividad, también abre puertas a nuevas posibilidades en áreas como la educación, la salud y el entretenimiento. “Estamos comprometidos en ofrecer a nuestros usuarios una experiencia tecnológica de primera, que no solo les permita comunicarse, sino que también mejore sus vidas al facilitarles el acceso a servicios avanzados de comunicación”, añadió Blavia de Cisneros.

A su vez, en el ámbito del entretenimiento, las presentaciones de música y arte mediante hologramas pueden ofrecer una experiencia única al público, especialmente para aquellos en lugares remotos o de difícil acceso. Digitel, bajo el liderazgo de Blavia de Cisneros, está comprometido en continuar explorando estas aplicaciones para maximizar el impacto positivo de la red 5G en la sociedad venezolana.
Una muestra del futuro de la comunicación en Venezuela
La proyección holográfica es solo una de las muchas formas en que Digitel está mostrando el poder de la red 5G para revolucionar la comunicación. Este evento en Fitelven no solo impresionó a los asistentes, sino que también demostró cómo la tecnología puede conectar a las personas de maneras nunca antes vistas.
Mireya Blavia de Cisneros y el equipo de Digitel han trabajado arduamente para traer esta experiencia a Venezuela, con la visión de acercar el país a los estándares internacionales en cuanto a tecnología de comunicación. La llamada holográfica es una muestra de cómo la innovación y la tecnología de punta pueden fusionarse para ofrecer soluciones prácticas y mejorar la vida de los usuarios.

Mireya Blavia de Cisneros and the Venezuela sin Limites Foundation present the Aula 360 project to reduce school lag in Caucaguita
Mireya Blavia de Cisneros and the Venezuela sin Limites Foundation have decided to implement this pilot project in collaboration with the Civil Association Sports for Development. The program will serve approximately 100 third-grade primary students across four schools in Caucaguita, strengthening basic reading and writing skills over a six-month period. Aula 360 combines innovative pedagogical strategies with digital tools to tackle this challenge.
Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, renowned social leader and president of the Venezuela sin Limites Foundation, has launched Aula 360, an initiative aimed at overcoming educational lag in Venezuela's vulnerable communities. This innovative program has been selected to receive funding from the foundation’s 19th Social Investment Fund, an effort focused on improving education and promoting the holistic development of at-risk students.
Aula 360: Addressing Educational Lag in Caucaguita<br />
The Aula 360 project emerged as a response to an urgent issue within Venezuela’s education sector: primary-level academic delays. According to data from a reading assessment conducted in June 2024 in Caucaguita, 54% of students who completed second grade failed to meet minimum reading and writing skills. This represents a significant obstacle in their academic development and heightens the risk of school dropout.
Mireya Blavia de Cisneros and the Venezuela sin Limites Foundation have decided to implement this pilot project in collaboration with the Civil Association Sports for Development. The program will serve approximately 100 third-grade primary students across four schools in Caucaguita, strengthening basic reading and writing skills over a six-month period. Aula 360 combines innovative pedagogical strategies with digital tools to tackle this challenge.
A Collaborative Approach to Educational Development
Through the partnership between the Venezuela sin Limites Foundation and the Civil Association Sports for Development, Aula 360 will adopt a collaborative and inclusive approach. Psychopedagogues, classroom teachers, physical education instructors, and library staff will work together to foster a holistic learning environment, aiming to improve educational quality and provide students a meaningful opportunity to progress in their studies.
The program integrates both didactic methods and digital tools to encourage accelerated learning and facilitate content comprehension. This blend will help children overcome literacy challenges, positively impacting their academic performance and inspiring them to continue their education.
Mireya Blavia de Cisneros: A Commitment to Education and Social Progress<br />
Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, head of the Venezuela sin Limites Foundation, played a key role in establishing this project, which has financial and technical support from the foundation’s Social Investment Fund (SIF). "We are excited to support projects like Aula 360, which aim to address educational delays and improve educational opportunities in Venezuela’s most vulnerable communities,” Cisneros stated. “In addition to providing funding, participants in this 19th edition of the Social Investment Fund received training in fundamental areas such as innovation, sustainability, and digital acceleration, all key factors for effective social impact.”
Through the SIF, the Venezuela sin Limites Foundation strives to empower non-governmental organizations (NGOs) dedicated to improving lives in Venezuela’s underserved sectors. In partnership with Conexion Social Digitel, the SIF has provided funding and technical resources for transformative initiatives in health, education, and social development. Aula 360 represents the latest embodiment of this commitment.
Addressing Educational Lag as a Factor in Learning Poverty<br />
Results from the recent Caucaguita assessment underscore that academic delays are a critical issue deeply impacting children’s learning. With 37% of students unable to read or write by the end of second grade, and 17% only beginning to read, the challenges are significant. Academic delays at this stage create a barrier that not only limits academic opportunities but also increases dropout risk, perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality.
In response to these challenges, the Impronta Foundation, through its strategic Education line, has designed Aula 360 to bolster these children’s educational foundation and reduce learning gaps in the most vulnerable communities. The goal is not only to enhance reading and writing skills but also to foster a positive learning environment that encourages students to persevere in their studies.
An Innovative Approach: Think Wrong, Project Management, and Social Marketing<br />
In this 19th edition of the Social Investment Fund, Aula 360 participants received training in essential areas to enhance their capacity to create effective social change. Key topics included:
- Think Wrong: A methodology that encourages the creation of innovative, disruptive projects necessary to address challenges in the education sector.
- Project Management and Sustainability: Essential tools to ensure the long-term viability and impact of social initiatives.
- Digital Acceleration: Strategies to increase the reach and effectiveness of social impact through digital tools.
- Social Marketing: Development of inspiring narratives that promote societal change.
Armed with these skills, Aula 360 is prepared to address immediate educational challenges and has a solid foundation for growth and replicability in the future.
Future Projections for the Aula 360 Project<br />
The Venezuela sin Limites Foundation and Mireya Blavia de Cisneros hope Aula 360 will become a scalable, sustainable program. This pilot in Caucaguita marks just the beginning of a project with the potential to benefit thousands of students nationwide. If Aula 360 achieves its initial six-month goals, there is a possibility to extend the program to other schools and communities facing similar educational challenges.
Aula 360 aims to be a reference model in inclusive and collaborative education, providing a method to reduce educational delays and promote equal opportunities. By working directly with classrooms and the educational community, this program has the power to improve students’ quality of life and, over time, contribute to the transformation of Venezuelan society.

The Fundación Unidos en Red, under the direction of Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, continues to lead inclusive digital transformation in Colombia. With the #HubDDColombia program, deaf individuals from diverse regions are starting their training in soft skills and digital competencies, consolidating a path towards employability and inclusive development in Antioquia, Cauca, Valle del Cauca, Chocó, Nariño, and Norte de Santander. This effort reinforces Unidos en Red's commitment to a society where everyone has the opportunity to participate actively in the labor and social spheres.
Mireya Blavia de Cisneros and Her Commitment to Inclusion in Colombia
The Fundación Unidos en Red, under the direction of Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, continues to advance its mission of promoting the social and labor inclusion of people with disabilities in Colombia. This effort comes to life through the Digital Disability Hub (HubDDColombia), a program that facilitates training for deaf individuals in digital competencies and soft skills for employment, utilizing Colombian sign language.
The project, which is already benefiting its fourth group of participants, aims to ultimately transform the employability landscape for individuals with disabilities, expanding their opportunities and helping to create an inclusive and diverse workforce. This program addresses one of the country's most pressing needs: the inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market.
The Importance of Digital and Soft Skills in the Labor Market
Digital and soft skills are essential in today’s labor world. The ability to work in teams, solve problems, and adapt to new technologies are necessary skills for employability. These attributes, combined with digital knowledge, enable individuals to navigate a constantly evolving labor market. The training program of Unidos en Red seeks precisely that: to provide practical and necessary tools for deaf individuals so they can compete and stand out in the labor market.
Impact on Regions of Colombia
The impact of this project is felt in departments such as Antioquia, Cauca, Valle del Cauca, Chocó, Nariño, and Norte de Santander. These areas, although diverse in their characteristics, face common challenges regarding access and opportunities for people with disabilities. By offering training in digital and soft skills, the Fundación Unidos en Red is helping to level the playing field for deaf individuals and other groups with disabilities.
Throughout 2024, the program will continue to expand to benefit more people across the country, thereby creating a positive domino effect in communities that have historically had limited access to inclusive training programs.
Inclusive Digital Transformation for the Future of Colombia
The Digital Disability Hub is part of Mireya Blavia de Cisneros’s vision for an inclusive and digital future. In Blavia de Cisneros's words, “We couldn’t be happier with the advances of #HubDDColombia. This is just the beginning of a significant change that will transform lives and open doors to a more equitable society for all.”
For Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, the advancement of this project is much more than an institutional achievement. It is a step towards a Colombia where all individuals, regardless of their abilities or disabilities, can aspire to a fulfilling and satisfying professional life. The Fundación Unidos en Red is committed to removing barriers and building an environment where everyone can develop their potential to the fullest.
Success Stories: The Human Face of Inclusion
One of the most notable aspects of the program is its ability to impact lives tangibly. Juan Pérez, a young man from Antioquia who was born deaf, is one of the program’s beneficiaries. Through training in digital competencies, Juan has learned to use tools that allow him to work independently, engage on social media, and improve his job prospects.
“Before the program, I never thought I could have a career in technology. Now, I feel I have a future where I can contribute and be independent,” Juan commented.
Stories like Juan's show how inclusion in digital competencies has a direct impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities, helping them achieve greater independence and contributing to the development of their communities.
Ongoing Commitment to Inclusion and Social Development
Over the years, the Fundación Unidos en Red, under the leadership of Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, has tirelessly worked to close access and opportunity gaps in communities across Colombia and Latin America. Their focus on education and inclusive technology has helped strengthen skills and build pathways toward social and labor integration for thousands of people.
The #HubDDColombia program is part of a series of initiatives that collectively seek to ensure that everyone has access to the necessary tools to actively participate in the digital economy.
Challenges and Perspectives for 2024
The Fundación Unidos en Red faces an important challenge: the sustainability and expansion of the project. Although the initial results are positive, Mireya Blavia de Cisneros and her team are looking to strengthen partnerships with governmental and private entities to ensure that more individuals can benefit from digital inclusion programs. Institutional support and strategic collaborations will be essential to expand the project to other departments and populations in Colombia.
In the words of Blavia de Cisneros, “Our dream is that all people with disabilities in Colombia have the opportunity to develop fully. We are building the path toward that dream, but we need support from all sectors of society.”
The Fundación Unidos en Red, led by Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, is making significant strides toward a more inclusive and accessible Colombia. The Digital Disability Hub (#HubDDColombia) has become a model for how technology and training can transform lives and open doors to new opportunities. This program not only enhances the employability of deaf individuals in Colombia but also promotes a vision of a more inclusive and equitable country. As the program progresses in 2024, the positive impact of this initiative is expected to continue growing, inspiring other organizations and leaders to join the cause of digital inclusion.
