2024 BARCELONA
THE DIGITAL JUNGLE
An exceptional group of youngsters from across Spain gave outstanding performances on the Ágora stage of Barcelona’s CosmoCaixa on 27 April 2024, delivering speeches along the theme of ‘The Digital Jungle: navigating the online world’.
The 13 teenagers, from 4th ESO and 1st Bachillerato, covered topics such as trauma dumping to fake news in their powerful talks in front of nearly 200 spectators including business leaders and communication experts.
For many of them it was the first time they had done any kind of public speaking away from the school classroom and their reactions showed how proud they were of what they had achieved.
Thanks to our loyal sponsors – Qoria, GET and Barcelona Metropolitan – without whom this event would not have been made possible.

Thank you 4Voices and to all the powerful young speakers. 👏 It was so rewarding to be part of this wonderful initiative.
A huge congratulations to everyone involved, especially to the successful speakers! 🎉 🎉 You should all be very, very proud.
Teenagers face several challenges when navigating the online world, including digital addiction, cyberbullying and misinformation, which can all have a significant impact on their wellbeing and development. Addressing these challenges requires a collaborative effort from parents, teenagers, educators, policymakers and online platforms to provide guidance, education and support. 4Voices is determined to be at the forefront of this movement as teenagers navigate a technically fast-moving and complicated world.
The 4Voices competition was a wonderful experience where I was taught how to properly use my voice to communicate what I really cared about. It also gave me the opportunity to use my voice in front of people willing to listen and to learn from what I, a 15-year-old, had to say.
