Candela Rodriguez is a 15-year-old sophomore at Skyline High School and an exchange student from Spain. She has always been passionate about justice and social activism, which is why she will be talking about the causes of mass immigration from Africa to Europe. Her goal is to inform people about the situations that immigrants have to deal with and get the audience to understand and empathize with them, as well as informing them of the reasons why they are forced to immigrate in the first place. In the future she looks forward to volunteer on the Spanish frontier with Africa to help with the immigrants’ social insertion. She is very excited to talk about this topic in her TEDx talk so others can understand this situation too and spread the word.
