For the second time in succession, a group of 30 employees of Deutsche Telekom Global Business Iberia took part in the solidarity walk organized by San Juan de Dios Hospital in Madrid and Barcelona. This walk has been organized since 2014 and in this edition more than 9 000 people walked under the motto “We are what we share”.

100 percent of the funds raised in this year’s edition were used for several projects in the fields of mental health, childhood, homelessness, social and healthcare, social exclusion, dependency, and international cooperation, including an allocation of EUR 40 000 for basic aid to Ukraine.

“Plántalo” (in English, “Plant it”) is an organization fighting deforestation and climate change by creating new forests and planting new trees in deforested areas.

A group of 25 volunteers of Deutsche Telekom Global Business spent a day planting a total of 100 trees for “Plántalo” in a rural area near Barcelona.

Technovation Girls is a global tech education not-for-profit organization that empowers girls to become leaders, creators and problem solvers. The program helps young women from the age of 8 to 18 years to become tech entrepreneurs and leaders. A network of mentors, ambassadors, volunteers, and parents provides support and helps girls across the world to step up and solve real-life problems with technology. 

The Spanish edition of the program’s final event saw four employees from Deutsche Telekom Global Business Iberia acting as judges for the 20 projects that made it to the final. Our employees contributed their technology knowledge to help improve the Apps that the girls had coded over a period of several months.

At the same event, our employees hosted a workshop aimed at young engineers (girls from 12 to 16 years) in which they had the opportunity to experiment with Makey Makey hardware-based programming.

Last March, Cisco Spain launched the Green & Blue Hackathon , the largest technology event on sustainability at national level. The objective was to actively contribute to the search for solutions to global sustainability problems with a focus on the new European Funds . During the presentation of the event, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism, explained the importance of this type of initiative and encouraged the participants to seek out solutions.

During the active period for the initiative, all the participating teams/partners took part in conversations with a variety of companies. A number of different proposals were presented and some are now being implemented in the participating companies.

In parallel with the sessions, each team had to prepare a theoretical or practical exercise with at least one environmental initiative and then defend it during the time allotted to the participants.
