Mutante

Mutante is the first digital movement based on citizen conversation in Colombia. Their mission is to create spaces for social conversations, with a methodology that sets public debates for two weeks.

Their innovative approach to combining investigative journalism with facilitated conversations and debates online has attracted international attention, and support from donors, as well as their audience.

They describe themselves as:

“A new kind of conversation with journalistic and activist genes, an organism of multiple voices that join together to understand and are informed to act.

We were born as an independent alternative to confront polarization, fake news, click tyrannies and “public agendas” manufactured by private interests.

We believe in participatory journalism as a tool for social change. Together with audiences interested in inhabiting a more compassionate, fair and egalitarian society, we build information of true general interest. We detect problems and needs of the audience, to then create informative and creative solutions with public impact and mass dissemination.”
