Massa em conexão: uma websérie observativa-participativa sobre educomunicação para comunidades de periferia

Abstract

This work analyzes the procedures performed for the production of a set of web docs about the NGOs “Énois inteligência jovem” and “ONG Pequeno cidadão” – entities that work with educommunication, focusing on youth from the periphery in the city of São Paulo. Schaun (2002: 82) conceptualizes educommunication as "a political action focused on the contribution of ethical awareness and a pragmatics for the transformations of the society". The educational work developed by agents and entities plays an important role in society, due to the purpose of forming critical citizens, who can understand the dynamics of the media and act on it. In the observation made to produce the documentary with the NGOs, it is possible to analyze that the actions make possible the access to the apparatus and the necessary training so that the students can question, collaborate, and somehow transform the reality of their communities. This is the axis that guides the narrative of the five episodes of the webdocumentary.
