Communication as Co-Creation – Collaborative Expression Through Engaged 
Media Practice
An IAMCR pre-conference

Description

IAMCR Conference’s theme of ‘weaving people together’ places emphasis on 
the power arising from people working in unison towards a shared goal. 
When mediated communication is built on common traits, the differences 
that may exist in multicultural contexts can be superseded. It follows 
that communication can also be regarded as a project in the hands, and 
influenced by the will, of the communicators.

At the same time, different forms of engagement with and between 
communicators give rise to processes of collaborative expression that 
aim not only at creating a shared understanding, but also at producing a 
weave of narratives or at advocating for meaningful changes. This novel 
communicative texture invites collaboration from and between multiple 
actors, including community media outlets, participatory media 
initiatives, non-governmental organisations, indigenous groups, climate 
activists, journalists, humanitarian workers, rights advocates, 
academics and gender campaigners.

Abstract submission

From the ideas described above, this event invites submissions that 
address topics, theories, case studies and initiatives related, but not 
exclusive, to participatory communication, communication for development 
and social change, alternative media, media development, media 
literacies, environmental communication and the politics of the 
Anthropocene.

Abstract submission deadline: 17th March 2024
