Being An Agent Of Change In Colombia
This SXSW coverage is sponsored by Univision News.
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
