Media literacy through audiovisual production: Three colombian experiences

Abstract

Introduction: This article examines three media literacy and production processes carried out in three Colombian departments. The article identifies the factors that led to the creation and development of these media literacy experiences. Methods: The study adopts a qualitative approach based on biographical research. It describes, through the life story of three founding teachers, the Colombian context in which these projects emerged and evolved, highlighting their edu-communicational and community contributions. Results and conclusions: The results confirm the primacy of human relations over ICT; the ability of the selected projects to promote audiovisual production and research in students and communities as effective tools for reflection and expression; and the perception of violence as a surrounding reality in the lives of teachers.
