ICT 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.
Comundos 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.
The 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.
Comundos aims to help young adults better develop their own identity, stimulate their emancipation and grow a critical global and local awareness. We also want to give these people the ability to participate in an intercultural dialogue, so that their challenges can resonate worldwide. We do this by letting both students and educators become acquainted with ICT, and by teaching them how to share their stories digitally with countries worldwide, and Belgium in particular.

Major progress has been made towards increasing access to education at all levels and increasing enrolment rates in schools particularly for women and girls. Basic literacy skills have improved tremendously, yet bolder efforts are needed to make even greater strides for achieving universal education goals. For example, the world has achieved equality in primary education between girls and boys, but few countries have achieved that target at all levels of education.
It is time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food.
