Educommunication
Educommunication
Educommunication is an interdisciplinary collaboration between multimedia, education, and communication. Today, it is imperative to know how media outlets organize in order to share information and to understand their impact on people. Though educommunicative practices, we create spaces for civic participation and social empowerment.
