At the MSC, we will be participating in panel discussions, workshops, and networking events to share our experiences and learn from other like-minded individuals and organizations. We will also be showcasing our work and initiatives that promote fair trade, ethical sourcing, and responsible consumption in the telecommunications sector.

In addition to participating in the MSC, we are also actively involved in campaigns and movements that seek to address the root causes of the injustices in the mobile industry. We believe that by working collaboratively with other stakeholders, we can create a more just and sustainable telecommunications sector that prioritizes people and the planet over profits.

As we participate in the 9th edition of the Mobile Social Congress, we are excited to connect with others who are passionate about creating positive change in the mobile industry. We are eager to contribute to the discussions and learn from the diverse perspectives that will be present at the event. We believe that by coming together, we can build a stronger movement for change and make a meaningful impact on the future of the telecommunications industry.
