“Hello, my name is Iordan Valério da Silva. I live in the Northeast of Brazil and I am a first-year student in Systems Analysis and Development, a field in which my interest in technology continues to grow every day. I am also passionate about sociology and psychology, and I enjoy reading, exploring different cultures, and studying languages. In 2025, I received a Commendation in the Psychology category of the John Locke Institute 2025 Global Essay Prize. Since then, I have continued writing because I found in writing a way to explore questions that spark my curiosity. Now, through the Inspire Youth Journal, I have also found a space to discuss important issues,” said Iordan.
