Media literacyICT and social media are essential means for emancipation, identity cultivation and the development of a critical global and local awareness. For that reason, Comundos helps people make use of these powerful tools. | Digital storytellingComundos currently works with digital stories, short films of up to 3 minutes. Participants create these videos; a combination of pictures and their own voice as a voice-over. This is an accessible method that can be used when no internet connection is available. Digital stories are also very suitable for analysis and reflection on different themes and challenges. | Giving voiceThe digital stories tell us more about certain important experiences and topics in the authors' lives. This website contains videos from various countries on various subjects. In this way, we help people from the South exchange their dreams, ideas and knowledge with people worldwide. |

Digital storytelling as a tool for empowerment. This is the goal of the Belgian non-profit organisation Comundos. The organisation provides media literacy courses for young people worldwide. ‘By letting people from the Global South make their own story, you relinquish control.’
By Alma De Walsche
For several years we used to give the same course in libraries and to teachers (for example, on ictdag.be).

Honduras, a country rich in biodiversity but highly vulnerable to climate impacts, continues to face serious environmental challenges. We catch up with José to explore how the situation has evolved, what progress has been made, and what urgent steps are still needed to protect both nature and communities. Here is his story from 2017.
Interpreters often carry the emotional burden of others’ trauma.
