Mission "Communication in Colombia"

Mission Communication in Colombia was a process carried out between 2003 and 2005, which sought to generate and share reflections and analysis in Colombia on the subject of communication, integrating the contributions and visions from education, science and technology, the media, culture, and politics. The objective was to take these analyses to the public agenda of the country and to comprehensively discuss the issue in such a way to overcome high profile dynamics and orient them towards the country's development and to transform the conflict and the dialogue in Colombia with the creative use of the media and the channels of information and community expression for the strengthening of social organizations. The Mission was developed with the participation of public and private institutions, NGOs and civil society organizations through different regional nodes and social and sectorial working groups such as women, indigenous people, displaced persons, victims and the rural sector. As a result, a series of three documents were published that gathered the visions, contributions, analyses and reports of the participating stakeholders from the regions of the country to the national level.
