What is Participatory Communication

Chapter 4
Handbook of Research on Promoting Social Justice for Immigrants and Refugees Through Active Citizenship and Intercultural Education
A methodological tool to achieve the social change that implies working toward awareness and communication through horizontal logic focused on collective processes and dynamics. Participatory communication is a process of dialogue based on respecting and recognizing others, on equity, social justice and the participation of all people. Its objective is to boost transformative processes through actions that are capable of building new frames of reference and new imaginaries to interpret reality, and to do so with “cultural efficacy.”

Abstract
Anti-racist socio-educational intervention is not proving effective at combating contemporary racism. Traditional awareness models suffer from serious limitations that prevent them from achieving their stated objectives. In this chapter, these limits are described and explained, based on an analysis of the dominant models implicit in current anti-racist intervention. Second, two new conceptual tools are proposed that are essential to reframe anti-racist action, so that socio-educational intervention is truly able to transform and eliminate moral boundaries. Finally, several operational proposals are presented and described to renew anti-racist socio-educational action from a critical-transformative perspective: critical reflexivity, the decolonization of one's own culture, understanding to transform, the enabling of racialized and discriminated groups, participatory communication, and communicational empowerment.
