elParlante | ElParlante es una entidad de carácter cultural, social y educativo, fundada en 2009. Entendemos la comunicación como un proceso de diálogo constante, y utilizamos las tecnologías audiovisuales como instrumentos de transformación y cambio. Diseñamos, implementamos y evaluamos estrategias que vinculan la Educación y la Comunicación para la promoción de una ciudadanía más activa.

Education + communication = Educommunication

Since 2009, elParlante designs, implements and evaluates strategies that link communication and education to promote active citizenship.
In elParlante we know that education and communication are two sides of the same coin. That every communicative process is an educational process and vice versa. Thus, we use media criticism, community audiovisual production and participatory cultural management to co-create spaces for social transformation.

"Only dialogue, which involves critical thinking, is capable of generating a space for creation. Without it there is no communication and without it there is no true education."

– Paulo Freire

"True communication does not begin by speaking but by listening."

– Mario Kaplún
