Workshop 1. “Three Colombian methodological approaches to participatory action research”.
Lectured by: Jair Vega (Uninorte), Amparo Cadavid (Uniminuto) & Eliana Herrera (Uniminuto)
The workshop will introduce the methodological contributions and transformative social research developed by Colombian researchers Orlando Fals Borda, Arturo Alape and Pilar Riaño. All the three share useful insights into communication and social change processes. A group of approximately 24 people will be divided into three subgroups to develop a guided reflection/action strategy based on the work of the authors: Fals Borda (Jair Vega), Arturo Alape (Eliana Herrera) and Pilar Riaño (Amparo Cadavid).
Workshop 2. “Paths towards technological autonomy: planning and implementation of community projects”.
Lectured by Carlos Baca Feldman (general coordinator of Centro de Investigación en Tecnologías y Saberes Comunitarios-CITSAC & Research Coordinator of REDES A.C. & Rhizomatica).
This workshop aims to generate skills for the selection of relevant technologies and the planning of a technological projects that can achieve the specific goals that arise through the communication processes in improving the living conditions of the communities. In the first part, the workshop aims to develop a critical vision in the incorporation of ICT to community communication projects, based on the analysis of experiences that have generated processes of technological autonomy in Latin America; such as community Internet networks, community cellular telephony in Oaxaca, Mexico, and the “Techio Comunitario” community technical promoters training program. The second part of the workshop will seek to unravel the logic of the regulation of the radio spectrum, taking into account its nature of common good, and address a number of basic elements on spectrum regulation from the international, national and community level that have allowed the development of this type of experiences.
