Mutante

Mutante is the first digital citizen conversation movement in Colombia. Its mission is to create social conversations, a methodology that puts into public debate for two weeks the discussion of issues that affect the well-being of people, communities and the planet through its digital channels. Additionally, it builds knowledge and collects information from the public that participates in its channels. In 2024, it received the King of Spain Award for Best Digital Media in Latin America. His publications have also received the Simón Bolívar Award, in 2024 and 2023, and the Bogotá Journalists Circle award in 2023. Mutante calls on the audience to speak, understand and act in the face of the most urgent problems of our time. Speaking, to gather stories from the perspective of the audience directly involved. Understand, bringing together different actors who contribute with reflections and evidence that explain the social problems we address. And act, to develop actions and content that contribute to the empowerment of citizens and do something about it.  She specializes in participatory journalism using audience mobilization strategies. Social conversations are spaces for citizen dialogue that are supported by journalistic exercises and digital tools through which imaginaries, stereotypes, information gaps and misinformation are analyzed; problems of social relevance are detected; qualified information is produced through communicative and pedagogical tools; and a public agenda is built from the bottom up. Mutante seeks, through participatory journalism and social conversation, the collective construction of knowledge to generate practical and conceptual learning that solves current public problems.
