Panelists: Andrés Traslaviña & Daniel Medina

Great panel discussion regarding how social media has allowed citizens to engage in the democratic process, increase civic participation and how it’s becoming an equalizer between the rich and the poor.

Colombians have gone from fear on the streets due to terrorist groups like the FARC to  a government and citizens that play a  large role in community participation. They did it in the following ways…

Social cohesion – people involved in the democratic process

Security – ensuring safety among its citizens

Social responsiblity – increase trust and engagement with the poor

Check out the interview with Andrés Traslaviña as he discusses some of his experiences with social media in Colombia.
